Kayah (D2710)

Red Heeler X.

Kayah is a beautiful Red Heeler who has lived in an adopted family with her son Bono for the last six years. Unfortunately their owner is moving out of the country and they are now looking for a new family. Although Kayah and Bono get on very well, Kayah has an independent streak and is happy to wander off and do her own thing. She is very loyal and loving and good with children and other dogs. She loves her exercise, especially at the beach. Her favourite thing is to lay back and enjoy a belly rub! If you are looking for a mature dog who is past the puppy phase and who will fit right into your family, Kayah could be the girl for you.

More from Sue H re Kayah and Bono:

These two dogs were adopted from SAFE over 6 years ago. Their owner was called out of the country and that’s why he surrendered them to SAFE for rehoming. \ The dogs were located in Perth, and Sue says ‘everything fell into place’ when several businesses all jumped in with their support:

Bob Patterson at Paws, Claws & Beaks (http://www.pawsclawsandbeaks.com.au) Boarding Kennel took the dogs from the owner, and discounted their boarding costs until travel could be arranged to transfer the dogs to Karratha. (By the way, Bob also said they were delightful and if he’d been seeking a dog he’d have them any day.) \

Epsom Vets (http://www.vetfind.com.au/epsom-avenue-veterinary-clinic-ascot-perth/) did temperament checks, vaccinations and microchipping, and Leticia, from the clinic, even provided transport from the boarding kennels to the vets and back, as Bono needed some extra vet work. When the vet had an opening in their schedule, they moved Bono’s appointment up, so all the work was completed on Friday instead of the following Monday as originally planned, thereby shortening their time in the kennels.

Angus Matheson from Jet Pets (http://www.jetpets.com.au) offered the use of his cages, and transported the dogs from the kennels to the airport, for their trip to Karratha.

It’s support like this that makes SAFE’s work possible... I can’t thank all those involved enough, as their great teamwork has eased the transition for Kayah and Bono considerably!
