About Sugar
Sugar is a pure-bred Staffy and has a wonderful gentle nature.
Staffys are generally bold, reliable, courageous as well as fearless and curious. They are intelligent and people friendly, crave human contact and need to be socialised well.
A very muscular dog, Sugar weighs in at almost 17kg. Very strong for her size, she possesses tremendous stamina and must have plenty of exercise. \
Sugar needs a home where she is not left alone for long periods, she requires a good, securely fenced yard (preferably colourbond).
She is an inside/outside dog and isn't a continuous barker. We would recommend that her new owner be a lover of Staffys, who has previously owned a Staffy and who knows the breed inside and out.
Staffys can be stubborn and hard to handle and need a dominant, experienced owner if they are to be a successful pet and a family guardian.
We don't believe Sugar would be suitable around very young children, due to her size and weight.
Sugar was adopted to a family with another female staffy and there were some issues with jealousy. \ We would recommend that if there is another dog in the home, they would need to have a meet and greet.
Sugar has a smooth, short haired coat that requires a brush every day with a firm bristle brush and a bath as necessary. \

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.
