About Albert (Bertie)
Albert (Bertie) is a gentle loving pup who will need an active family with time to exercise him twice a day. He is currently being house trained and would benefit from puppy obedience training to make him understand who is top dog whilst he is still a pup.
Bertie is very friendly and has a gorgeous temperament. We are unsure of his breed at this stage, probably will know more as he continues to grow. And grow he will! We expect him to be medium to large (perhaps kelpie or even labrador size) and he is putting on weight at a rapid rate.
Bertie will definitely need a large, secure and fully fenced backyard where he will be able to run around freely - he will not be allowed to go to a home where he is alone all day. Another dog for a companion would be ideal - he is presently sharing his home with a beagle and quickly learning to socialise with other dogs.
He will available or adoption in approximately 4 weeks time, after he has been de-sexed.
Medical notes
Albert is currently 6.6kg & will grow to a medium to large dog.
Adoption details
The first step is to phone (preferred ) or email Port Macquarie Animal Welfare Service for assessment regarding prospective ownership and pet suitability.
Adoption Application forms must be completed and include a vet reference and photos of yards and fencing. A property inspection will be carried out on properties in the Port Macquarie area.
New dog owners must have a fully secure, fenced yard offering protection from all types of weather, subject to approval by PMAWS.
A 2 week trial period commences on the day of adoption.
All PMAWS dogs & cats are desexed, vaccinated, heart & intestinal wormed, flea & tick treated.
Introducing a Kitten/Cat into a new home (especially where either a dog or cat already lives) can be a difficult challenge. It requires patience, perseverance and supervision.
Once your new kitten/cat arrives home, it should be made to feel safe in its own room - we call this the "sanctuary". \ No other cat or dog should be allowed into this room. The kitten/cat will need bedding, food, water, a view out of a window and somewhere to hide. A good idea in dog and cat families is also a 2 metre tall scratching post, where a kitten/cat can retreat if it needs to.
Keep the kitten/cat in a room for the first few days, then, gradually, using a series of wooden chocks (or similar), open the door slightly to allow paws and noses to meet. It can then be opened further to allow the kitten/cat in and out, but not the older cat or dog in. We recommend that this should be continued for 14 days.
PMAWS urges all owners to keep their cats indoors.
