Sooky ~ On Trial 17/12/15

Hi my name is Sooky and I am a 3 year old Boxer X. My foster mum says I’m super sweet! With me around she never gets lonely, she loves it when I have a chat with her and she is constantly laughing at my crooked smile, though I don’t know why this is so funny to her!

My foster mum says I get my playfulness from my boxer side and my loyalty from my staffy side. Anyway, all I know is I’m glad I didn’t get that squashed up face I could have ended up with!

I love to play outside in the yard - running around with my foster sister and playing with my chew toys. I also love to potter around in the garden and relax in the sun. I don’t dig or try to escape cause I’m a good girl. I don’t bark much either, but I will let you know when a visitor arrives.

I do like to come inside when my foster family is home as I enjoy being where ever my human family is. I am toilet trained when I'm inside - I'll use the doggy door to take myself outside when nature calls.

I don’t mean to talk myself up, but I am pretty smart. I never had any training until I came into foster care and I love learning. I already know how to "sit", "down" and "stay". I also learned ‘leave it’ (boring!) and I will sit for my dinner. Speaking of dinner, I have great manners and am really helpful, if my foster mum forgets what time my dinner is, I go and have a chat with her to reminder her. I am not pushy, I just like helping. I know she likes our chats, she is always smiling at me when I talk to her. I also love going for walks and figured out that it’s more fun for everyone when I behave on the lead.

I like other dogs and currently live with my canine foster sister. We get on great and I like playing with her, but I really love people, so I would be happy to go to a home as an only dog, as long as I have someone to love and spend time with and play with. I am happy to spend my days outside, but would really like to sleep inside. I also get a bit scared when there are storms, so would really like it if you let me inside if it gets too scary, I promise I settle down once I know I am safe.

I like cats - a little too much I’m told (mwah ha ha). Because of this my foster mum says I shouldn’t go to a home that has cats. I do love people though, and I get a bit excited at first and forget that I’m not supposed to jump up to say hello, so I probably would be best suited to a home with older children as I may accidentally knock a small child over. I do try to be good through, and if you give me some patience and love, I recon I can learn anything!

All I really want is someone to love and someone to play with. If you think this sounds like you, please give my foster mum Amy a call on 0423 869 375 or email amyturnbull_@hotmail.com. I am in foster care near Gosford NSW (Central Coast) and available for interstate adoption.
