About Orlando - I'm being adopted!
Orlando is a real cutie who is sure to melt your heart.
He is a cheeky and affectionate pup who loves cuddles and constantly being around his humans. When the other dogs don't want to play with him, or when he has has enough of watching the chooks in their pen, Orlando loves to chew on a tug rope and play tug-a-war with himself. Orlando also enjoys stirring up his brother or the bullmastiff he lives with and then jumping up on his humans lap for a pat and cuddle, when he gets tired you can cradle him to sleep like a baby which is super cute!
Orlando is treat motivated, he is really eager to learn new things if he knows there's some food at the end of it. He has had two baths and doesn’t mind them as long as he is being fed treats.
Like most puppies, Orlando does get frightened of new experiences so he will need encouragement and positive reinforcement to show him the big world isn’t as scary as he thinks. Orlando does sometimes cry and bark when you leave him alone but he usually settles down after a little while (tiring him out helps with this).
Orlando will only be adopted to a home where he is allowed to be inside. His new family must be committed to training and socialising him with other dogs. He is currently being house trained and this will need to be continued.
Orlando will most likely grow to be a medium to large sized dog. With lots of love, attention and training he will make a great addition to any family.
Orlando is currently in foster care in Scullin, ACT.
Medical notes
Orlando is due to have his second C5 vaccination soon and won't be allowed to go to his forever home until 9 Aug 14
