About Bertha
Bertha is a sweet, smoochy and playful little pup. She was so eager to discover the world that she was the first born, of a litter of five.
She loves the company of her littler mates but also the company of all the household pets, including a cat. Bertha will be best suited to a family where there is a mature dog to keep her company and to teach her doggy manners. Bertha is paper trained and as she is a smart little girl the next step will be easy to accomplish. She will need to attend puppy school for ongoing socialization and general obedience training.
Frequent walks and lots of stimulation will keep this girl happy and healthy. She will also suit a family with children who will play with her and give her lots of attention.
Medical notes
Bertha is desexed, vaccinated and micro chipped and is up to date with flea and worm control.
Adoption details
Once the animal is advertised candidates for adoption are requested to fill in a form.
The adoption questionnaire form asks where the animal will sleep, details of people and other animals in the home, training and exercise plans etc. We use this form as part of our screening process.
If we like what we read and the animal’s individual needs are met we then conduct an informal phone interview.
Then the potential adopter meets the animal at the carers home or the carer may choose to take the animal to the adopter’s home to do a house and yard inspection.
If the adopter meets the animal at the carer’s home a house/yard inspection is done after the meet.
When the yard inspection is done we are able to further evaluate the suitability of the candidate to adopt.
If we are satisfied that the animals needs will be met by the adopter and that they are a good match for one another then a trial period may begin.
We have legally binding pre-adoption forms which allow us to remove the animal from the home if all other solutions to issues have failed.
We have a good support base which adopters can utilise if needed, such as a professional trainer, a behaviourist, vets and a groomer.
Homeless Hounds offers support to our adopters for the life of the animal. It is policy that each adopter is aware that if the ever need help or to rehome the animal then HH wants to facilitate that.
Our procedures are based on advice from "model" and well established rescue groups and trial and error.
This pet has been adopted and found love with its new family.
