About Bella & Abbie
Bella and Abbie are two beautiful Shih-Tzu cross dogs that MUST be rehomed together. They are sisters and cannot bear to be parted from each other.
These little girls are very quiet and content to curl up together on their lounge chair.
They are not suitable to be around children under the age of 12 as they are quite small in stature. They would certainly suit a retired couple/single person who has plenty of time to spend with them. They are inside dogs and need to be a part of the family - certainly not to be left alone outside during the day.
Abbie and Bella will melt your heart as soon as you see them, they are a real delight!!
Their coat will need regular grooming (as with all shih tzu breeds) and daily exercise to keep them happy and healthy. \
If you are interested in these little dogs, please phone Wendy on (02) 6584 7027 for more details.
Medical notes
All PMAWS dogs are put on yearly Proheart injection.
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.
