Tubby (On Trial 8/3/15) ~ Staffy puppy

Hi my name is Tubby and I'm a male, 9 month old, Staffy puppy. My coat is black with some brindle shining through. Foster Mum thinks I'm very handsome.

I currently live with my foster family where there is a dog to play with (I love playing chasings and stealing each other's toys) and two young boys (3yrs/4yrs) who I think are the greatest. I am very gentle with them and love getting scratches and cuddles. My foster mum says Uh Uh! if I try to steal their toast in the mornings so I just wait patiently to see if they sneak me a bite while she isn't looking :)

I am very obedient, if I hear the word Uh Uh! I know what I'm doing is naughty and I stop. I have learnt to sit, and I will sit and wait while my food is being served too. I'm doing well at toilet training. I sometimes do have an accident during the night but with continued guidance and patience I will be trained in no time.

I enjoy car rides and like going for walks. I behave well on the lead although I can sometimes be a little slow and hesitant. But I'm still learning all these wonderful things so please be patient with me. I would love it if you would take me to doggie training classes.

I am an inside dog and need to be allowed inside, at least when people are home, and to sleep inside.

My foster mum thinks I am gorgeous and very much suited to a young family where somebody will be home most of the time and I will get lots of affection. If you have a dog friend for me to play with too that would be perfect.

If you would like to know more about me please call my foster carer Amy on 0413420579 or email at amyg2507@gmail.com and she can answer any questions you have. We are in Anna Bay, NSW 2316 (Port Stephens, north of Newcastle). I am available for adoption interstate.

Tubby's adoption fee is $400 and he is desexed, vaccinated, treated for fleas and worms, microchipped, and lifetime registered. You can see all our available dogs at www.dogrescuenewcastle.com.au
