About Bindi
Bindi is one cheeky little girl - she is still a baby really and not yet 2 years old. She just loves to play with her toys until she tires herself out. \ She can be annoying sometimes when she wants your attention and is determined to get it!
Bindi needs to have another dog to play with - she currently plays with poodles and runs rings around them with her energy levels.
She is an outside/inside dog and loves to sleep on the lounge during the day and should be allowed to sleep inside at night. She is fully house-trained and spotlessly clean. Her coat was clipped right back when she was found with a paralysis tick. She was rushed to Wauchope Vets who ensured she made a remarkable recovery. Bindi has come through her ideal with flying colours and only needs to add a few kilos that she lost through the tick poisoning.
Bindi is not suited to be around very young children - she has too much energy and gets very excited when playing. She has sharp teeth and they could cause damage unintentionally.
Bindi does need some obedience training - she likes her own way and is very mischievous - but she is learning the NO word!
Bindi is not cat friendly - just ask the cats next door!
It is probably best if Bindi's coat is kept clipped short as a precaution against ticks - being so dark it would be difficult to see any ticks. Daily searching on all dogs is a must during tick season as well as a tick collar or Preventix fortnightly.
We are confident that whoever adopts Bindi will have a wonderful companion and a loyal friend for many years to come.
Applications to adopt Bindi are now being accepted. For further details please phone Wendy on 6584 7027.
Medical notes
Recently Bindi had a deadly paralysis tick which was successfully removed & she is getting better each day.
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, microchipped, 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.
