About Kota ~ Brown Kelpie X (On Trial 5/11/16)
Kota is a 4 year old, male, brown Kelpie X. Kota laps up every bit of attention you can give him. He loves a pat, cuddle and a back scratch and thrives on being told he is a good boy. He loves to lick you to show you he loves you and to cuddle up on the lounge beside you of a night – once his excitement levels calm down.
He loves his treats and can now sit and drop to his belly when asked and when given treats. He will even sit still while you walk away, jog, do a dance or walk around him with a treat in your hand. He also adores fresh bones.
Kota is the perfect mix of playful and loving. He absolutely loves to wrestle his foster brother Jack and play chases around the backyard. He also loves to sit or lay down and relax in the sun. He is learning about fetch and will now run after a ball or squeaky toy. He loves to be chased after with his toys by Jack or me and is so good at dodging his way around us like a soccer player. When he sees you come outside he runs over with what looks like the biggest smile and his tail wagging ready for a pat and cuddle.
Kota loves coming inside the house of a night. He is housetrained. He listens when asked to go outside and will always come when called.
Kota is so good with going to bed when told, He sleeps in the back room of the house with lots of blankets. He also loves his water so you need to make sure you keep an eye on the water level of his bowl.
He is such a happy, easy going boy who is very loving and loyal.
For more information or to meet Kota, please contact his foster carer Lauren on 0401 073 047 or email lauren.gray13@det.nsw.edu.au. Kota is in foster care in Maitland, NSW 2320 and is available for adoption interstate.

Medical notes
Kota has ‘clicky knees’ so his knee caps go in and out of the sockets. At the moment this is fine and generally doesn’t worry him. The knee caps go back in themselves. At times when he is jumping and wrestling with Jack you can tell his knees are sore as he comes over for a cuddle walking very slowly. As he gets older this may cause early arthritis.
Adoption details
(1) The first step is to phone or email the foster carer listed on the pet's profile (scroll to the bottom on the description). They can answer your questions and will ask you about the sort of home you are offering and may ask you to fill in our Adoption Questionnaire http://www.dogrescuenewcastle.com.au/adopt/adoptionquestionnaire.docx
(2) If the questionnaire is approved you can arrange to meet the pet, usually at the foster carer's home or nearby.
(3) If that goes well we will arrange a property check so we can verify that your home and yard are suitable for the pet you've selected. We will ask to see photo ID.
(4) If both sides agree, then you can pay for and adopt your new family member! The two week trial begins on the day of adoption.
