About Teddie
Teddie is a beautiful purebred Collie with a wonderful personality. He would make a young family very happy as he has grown up around children.
Teddie needs plenty of exercise & grooming. His coat has been clipped right back and is gradually growing again into the familiar long, beautiful full collie coat.
Collies make fantastic family pets because they love to be with people, and love to be part of the family. They are great with children and often take a special interest in them. The Collie's herding instinct will often cause him to follow his small owners around all day, quietly protecting them.
Collies are affectionate, intelligent, easygoing, fun-loving, loyal, devoted, and incredibly responsive to their owners. They need a lot of attention. Teddie will want to go for daily walks and play with everyone, and will not do well if left alone for long periods of time.
A Collie will bond quickly and easily with his family and will become watchful and protective of the home. He is not prone to wander, and seems content to hang out in his own yard. Collies can adapt to suburban yards and to large rural spaces, as long as they have someone there to love. Collies can be reserved with strangers, but are always gentle, though you can be sure your Collie's bark will let you know when someone is at your door. Collies are very vocal, which can irritate your neighbors, but Collies are also eager to please their owners, so will often be quiet when you tell them to. Collies are often accused of smiling. They are social animals and get along well with other dogs and other family pets.
We are looking for a new owner for Teddie who has had Collies before, or perhaps has a collie now and wants a companion. Teddie will not be rehomed with anyone who works full-time.
Applications to adopt Teddie are now being accepted and PMAWS is confident it will find a loving permanent home for Teddie very quickly.
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.
