About Puppy Brax (On Trial 15/5/14)
Brax an 11 week old, male, German Shepherd x Labrador puppy. He is such a good looking boy and a real charmer. Hence his name Brax the River Boy. He is coming along well with his basic training - he will come to his name, will sit when asked, - just do not expect it to be for too long. He will even give you a High 5! He is learning to walk on a lead. Brax is doing great at housetraining. He waits until he is let out of a morning onto the grass to go to the toilet.
He is a very clever boy and will excel at learning new things. We always recommend puppy-training classes to give your new family member the best start in life. All dogs and puppies need plenty of affection, exercise, and training. Brax will probably grow up to be a large dog.
Brax travels well in the car and just curls up and sleeps. He is great with other dogs, both bigger and smaller. He has no trouble sharing his food, bed, or toys with anyone. He loves cuddles and will follow you everywhere and I do mean everywhere in case he might miss something.
Brax needs to be allowed inside, at least when people are home, and to sleep inside, at least until he is fully grown. As he is still young we prefer he goes to a home where there is either another dog for company or someone who doesn't work full time.
If you would like to make this handsome little man a part of your family please contact his foster carer Anne on 02 4943 3651 or 0412 837 867. Brax is in foster care in Charlestown, NSW (Lake Macquarie, south of Newcastle).
Brax's $450 adoption fee includes his desexing, vaccinations, flea and worm treatments, and microchipping. You can see all our available dogs at www.dogrescuenewcastle.com.au
Adoption details
(1) The first step is to phone or email the foster carer listed on the pet's profile (scroll to the bottom on the description). They can tell you all about the pet. They will ask you about the sort of home you are offering and may ask you to fill in our Adoption Questionnaire, in order to assess if it is a good match.
(2) Arrange to meet the pet, usually at the foster carers home or nearby.
(3) If that goes well we will arrange a property check so we can verify that your home and yard are suitable for the pet you've selected. They will ask to see photo ID.
(4) If both sides agree, then you can pay for and adopt your new family member! The two week trial begins on the day of adoption.
