About Harper
Harper is a real little "sweetie". At 8 years of age she is slowing down a little bit and only requires a short walk around the block each day to keep her feeling her best. She is a little bit pudgy at the moment - guess she likes her food too much!
She needs someone who can spend plenty of time with her - can not be left alone at home for long periods. A retired person/couple is what Harper is looking for.
Harper is house trained and must have access to inside 24 hours a day. She is not suitable to being left in a backyard, only needs a small yard to run around in.
Her coat will require regular grooming (about $45 if done by a professional groomer) with particular attention paid to the eyes, ears, face and tail.
Harper sleeps in her own bed at night and has her favourite toys which she loves to play with.
This little dog has a very sweet personality and was a much loved part of the family. Harper was reluctantly surrendered because of her previous owner's ill health.
Harper is a delightful little dog and we are sure she will melt the heart of everyone who gets to meet her.

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.
