About Digby ~Shorthaired Pointer x~Pup (trial 17/10/15)
Introducing Digby, a 10 week old large mixed breed puppy, who is highly thought to be German Shorthaired-Pointer. Digby is a sweet boy with a very relaxed nature. He loves nothing more than to run around the big backyard with his brothers and foster sisters playing games like, tug-of-war, chaisies and playful wrestling. After a big play, Digby loves to lay down in his big comfy bed amongst the toys and blankets with the other puppies and have a rest. He is also a very cuddly boy with a chilled out nature who is happy just to be by your side watching TV or hanging out in the backyard.
Digby is still quite timid, when he was just days old he was dumped on a Hunter Valley worksite with his brothers and sisters and left to fend for themselves. When Digby came into Dog Rescue’s care he was extremely skinny, malnourished and full of worms. Since then however, Digby has made a full recovery and is a living testament to how TLC and good food can go a long way. Even though Digby is still learning to accept humans, he quickly learns after being petted and given some treats that people are okay and that he shouldn’t be scared. With age and a loving forever family, his timid nature should soon not be an issue at all.
Digby is a smart puppy; he will sit for his food and is learning other basic commands such as lay down. He is making paces with house training also, which will need to be continued in his new home with positive reinforcements.
It is highly recommended that Digby attend puppy pre-school to strengthen the bond between him and his new forever family, where he will gain extremely important socialization and useful tips and training.
Digby will also need secure fences that are high, as he will grow up to be large.
Digby also lives with his two brothers Archer and Diego and has two sisters Summer and Spring also in DRN’s care.

For more information or to meet Digby please contact his foster carer Kelly via email kellyhandsaker@gmail.com. Digby is in foster care in New Lambton Heights, NSW (Newcastle). Due to Digby’s age he is only available for adoption to the Newcastle, Central Coast, Port Stephens & Hunter areas as he will need to be brought back to a DRN vet for desexing when he is old enough.
Digby's adoption fee is $450 and he is desexed (when old enough), 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.
