About Thando ~ Ridgeback x Mastiff Pup (*trial 26/8/15)
Hi my name is Thando and I am available for adoption along with my little sister Ntambi. You may think our names are unusual but we are Ridgeback x Mastiff and they native South African names. My name means love, and yes I am a very loving little man. My sister's name means lady and she is, or can be when she chooses. She must take after our mum. We were born on 2/05/2015.
We have been in foster care for just over a week and are settling in quite well. It was hard at first, as at our old home we had our mum and 6 other brothers and sisters. \ But we are happy now and we even have a big puppy to play with as well as lots of kids.
We are learning to come when called and we even sit, especially if we get a treat or a cuddle. We have our dinner of a night and then we go off to bed and are quite happy to stay there until our foster mum gets our breakfast ready the next morning. Even though we might pull the blankets out of our beds we would never think of going to the toilet on them or in our beds. We have a special area where we can go to the toilet of a night time if we have to, but during the day we just go on the grass.
We are not that fond of walking on a lead, as they tend to get tangled up when we play. But we will learn. \ The only thing we love more than running around playing is a nice big cuddle from our human friends.
So if you think you need either me or my brother to make your family complete please contact our foster mum Anne and she will be more than happy to tell all you want to know about us. You can contact her by email (preferred) anne_armitage@bigpond.com or phone 0412837867.We are in care at Charlestown Lake Macquarie.
Ntambi's adoption fee is $450 and he will be desexed when old enough so only available to the Newcastle, Central Coast & Hunters area, vaccinated, treated for fleas and worms and microchipped. You can see all our available dogs at www.dogrescuenewcastle.com.au

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.
