Florence ~ Mixed Breed Puppy (trial 12/9/15)

Introducing Florence, a super adorable 8 week old puppy. The vet thought these puppies might be a cross between a Collie, a Shepherd, a Kelpie, a Staffy and who knows what else. What we know for sure is, they are all super cute.

Based on what they currently weigh and by looking at their feet we think they should grow up to be medium sized dogs, however as we never met their fur family we just can’t be 100% sure.

Their story began as a sad one, they were dumped and when Dog Rescue Newcastle took them into care they were very small, very weak and very sick. They all moved into our home and we gave them lots of good food, lots of love and attention, lots of medicine and warm baths and they slept by a lovely fireplace. We can now proudly say they are happy, healthy dogs who are ready to find their new families and start their wonderful lives.

Sweet and innocent Florence is the runt of the litter. She can be a little bit of a loner as she prefers peace and tranquillity over noise and mayhem. She is the gentle soul in the group and prefers the company and attention of humans to her siblings. She looks into your eyes and you can just sense she is wise beyond her weeks.

Florence feels no need to rush, everything in life is to be enjoyed at a leisurely pace. Whether it is eating, napping or playing, there is just no need to hurry, she prefers to take the time to savour the good things in life.

Florence will make a very calm, loyal and loving dog and will be a wonderful addition to a family that is not too hectic.

As she is still a puppy she is too young to be left alone for long periods of time. She would need to go to a home where someone is home quite a lot and where she is welcome inside to be part of the family. As with all puppies, she is still learning all the tricks and lessons that will help her become a well-rounded and good dog. Her new family will need to be dedicated to helping her become the best dog she can be.

Because she is so young she is still learning the art of toilet training it is important to take her out regularly to avoid accidents. We would also recommend puppy-training classes as this will give her the best start in life.

She is not yet desexed and is only available for adoption in Newcastle, Lake Macquarie, Central Coast and Port Stephens. This is because she needs to be returned to one of our vets for desexing when she is 4 or 5 months old.

Florence shares a foster mum with five siblings and their names are Phoenix, Bronx, Dakota, Paris, and Milan. They are currently in Lochinvar (near Maitland) and are all available for adoption.

If you would like to meet any of the pups please contact Renee via email at renlou1980@gmail.com.

The adoption fee is $450 and this includes desexing, vaccinations, flea and worm treatments, and microchipping. You can see all our available dogs at www.dogrescuenewcastle.com.au.
