About Bobby
Bobby is a gorgeous little boy! A Chinese-crested cross shih-tzu, he has a very wonderful nature, is great with children and other dogs.
HE DOES NOT LIKE CATS!
His lovely coat needs to be clipped in summer, as a safeguard against ticks, which are deadly in our local area. Bobby is very friendly as would equally suit a family with children or a retired couple/single wishing to take him on holidays with them.
He is NOT suited to being left alone at home for long periods and will not be re-homed to anyone who works full time. \ This is not the life we want for Bobby. He has been neglected in the past and deserves to have a happy and stable home. He would like another dog in the household to play with him and keep him company.
We know Bobby will make a wonderful companion dog, he is only 2 years old and has a long life ahead of him - we want that to be a fruitful and happy life!
Applications are now open to adopt this beautiful boy.
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.
