Pi ~ On Trial 15/1/15

Pi is a confident and cheeky 8 week old kelpie puppy. Pi loves to play with her toys and run around the house with her sisters Jarrah and Minx playing chasing. All three sisters like to play tug-of-war with one toy - usually their favourite which is a rubber chicken! Pi is never far from her sisters and thinks of herself as a social butterfly.

Pi is very snuggly after a hard day of playing and will come up to you for cuddles or she'll flop into her doggy bed with her sisters for a long nap. She sleeps through the night in a cosy bed inside with her sisters.

Pi is in foster care with 2 adult dogs and 5 cats and she gets on well with all of them. She also likes to play with children - she would suit families with older children as younger children may accidentally hurt her as she’s very small. Pi is very small for a puppy her age so we think she may be mixed with a slightly smaller breed - it's hard to predict what size she will be when older - perhaps smaller than an average kelpie.
Pi would best suit an active furever home with another friendly playful dog or someone who is home a lot if there is no other dog to play with. Pi is very confident and social and too young to be left alone for long periods of time. She is new to toilet training so her new family will need to continue her training as she grows. We always recommend puppy-training classes to give your new family member the best start in life and to continue socialisation. All dogs and puppies need plenty of affection, exercise, and training. Kelpies are an active and smart breed so her family will need to take her for daily walks once she's big enough.

Pi is an inside/outside dog and needs to be allowed inside when her family is home – she must sleep inside at night even when older. Dogs and puppies enjoy being part of the family and get comfort from being inside with their humans.

Pi’s sisters Jarrah and Minx are also available for adoption. They will be ready to go to their new homes on the 17th January when they are 10 weeks old.
