About Gus
GUS AND LAYLA ARE ON TRIAL
Gus and Layla!
They are beautiful pug cross cavaliers (pugaliers) and are two of the nicest dogs we have received. \ They belonged to the one family, who surrendered them because they wanted to go travelling around Australia, so it would be nice if they could be rehomed together, but at this stage we are not sure how they will go if they are separated. \
Both sturdy and robust, Layla is the bigger of the pair, and is quite strong on a lead, but she does walk well once she is out and about.
Their short coat requires only minimal maintenance - with little or no shedding - so a quick brush through should be enough - and of course bathing when needed.
They appear to get along well with children - we are still learning about them - and have a very pleasant and happy nature. However, both dogs are great with children provided they are supervised if under 10 years.
Gus & Layla can be adopted together for $395.00
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.
