Puppy Miranda (On Trial 30/8/14)

Miranda is a female, 8 week old, border collie x kelpie puppy looking for her forever home. She is a happy, affectionate and curious puppy who enjoys playing with toys and exploring the garden. She is very well socialised with other dogs as she is living happily with many dogs of all ages and sizes. She hasn't met a cat yet but should be fine as she is young enough to get used to them. Miranda has big brown puppy eyes that will melt your heart. She has black and tan kelpie colouring plus a white blaze on her chest to reflect her border collie genes too.

Miranda is used to being allowed inside when people are home so she can enjoy feeling part of the family. She should sleep inside, at least until she is fully grown. She likes to nap outside in a kennel during the day.

Miranda will be a medium sized dog so her new home will need 6ft colourbond fencing or good paling fences of similar height (not rural fencing such as mesh or wire). Padlocks are necessary to prevent dog theft. It'd be great if there was someone that doesn't work full time, such as a stay at home mum, or someone who works from home or is retired.

Miranda would love to have another similarly sized dog for company and to teach him new things. She's not be suitable for children under 5 years of age as she might accidently knock them over.

We always recommend puppy-training classes to give your new family member the best start in life. Miranda is available for adoption to the following areas: Newcastle, Lake Macquarie, Central Coast and Port Stephens. She is not available for Interstate adoption.

Miranda's brother Elliott is also available for adoption http://www.petrescue.com.au/listings/314894.
