Spring ~ German Shorthair Pointer ~(trial 15/10/15

Spring is a 10 week old large mixed breed puppy, thought to be German Shorthaired Pointer mix. She is an happy, friendly girl that loves to explore her surroundings. \ She also loves to play with other dogs and with children. She doesn't bother our chickens in their coop. After she has had enough play and adventuring she enjoys a cuddle on your lap and if you rub her nicely she will more than likely fall asleep.

Spring is great in the car and just curls up and sleeps until you get to your destination and then it is time to go exploring again. She is learning to come when called. Although all that is needed is for her to hear the door open and she is there in a flash. She is learning to sit when asked, be it only for a very short time. She is also learning to be on lead and is getting the hang of it.

When Spring and her siblings were very young they were dumped at a Hunter Valley worksite, along with their mother, and left to fend for themselves. Luckily they were saved from starvation by some of the workers and brought to Dog Rescue Newcastle. All the puppies were extremely skinny and full of worms. But thanks to the dedication of their foster carers all of the puppies have fully recovered and are healthy and happy and ready to begin the rest of their lives.

Spring was named after the season as it is a time of new beginnings and growth. And as everything seems to thrive at this time of year so too is Spring. Spring's sister Summer is also available for adoption.

We always recommend puppy-training classes to give your new family member the best start in life. All puppies need plenty of affection, exercise, and training. Spring will also need high, secure fences, as she will grow up to be a large dog.

Spring's sister Summer and brothers Archer, Digby and Diego are also available for adoption:

For more information or to meet Spring (or Summer) please contact foster carer Anne by email: anne_armitage@bigpond.com. Spring and Spring are in foster care in Charlestown, NSW (Lake Macquarie, near Newcastle).

As Spring is not yet desexed, she is only available for adoption to Newcastle, Lake Macquarie, Central Coast and Port Stephens because she'll need to be returned to one of our vets for desexing when she's old enough.

Spring's adoption fee is $450 and she 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
