About Rocky (2) (On Trial 28/2/13)
Rocky is approximately an 8 month old male Kelpie X Red Cattle Dog.He is a very friendly dog, wants nothing more than to lean against you and be cuddled. A typical loyal kelpie.
Rocky has been getting along with other dogs but is okay with being the only dog as then he can have all of your attention. Knows sit, down, comes when you call and walks on the lead. He can be easily frightened. Is a gentle, relaxed dog but may not be suitable for a home with small children as he does jump/climb up to lick your face. He is not a barker.
He's not too interested in play time, just pats and cuddles and loves walks where he can look around and sniff everything. Rocky's a cool dog, just wants a quiet place that'll give him lots of love.
Rocky is in foster care in Maitland, NSW. For more information or to meet Rocky, please phone his foster carer Liz 0418 226 605.
Rocky's $400 adoption fee covers his de-sexing, vaccinations, flea and worm treatments, micro-chipping, and lifetime registration.
Adoption details
(1) The first step is to phone (preferred) or email the foster carer listed on the pet's profile (scroll to the bottom on the description). They can tell you all about the pet. They will also ask you about what sort of home you are offering in order to assess if it is a good match.
(2) Arrange to meet the pet, usually at the foster carers home or nearby.
(3) If that goes well we will arrange a property check so we can verify that your home and yard are suitable for the pet you've selected. They will ask to see photo ID.
(4) If both sides agree, then you can pay for and adopt your new family member! The two week trial begins on the day of adoption.
