About Peanut
If you are interested in meeting Peanut please complete and EOI form on http://www.dogadoption.org.au/adoption---expression-of-interest.html
Other dogs
Yes
Cats
Yes. Peanut currently lives with a cat. She can be a bit obsessive with the cat and shadows him around the house a lot - always wanting to play or be close to him. An older cat might find this annoying.
Kids
Yes. \ If you have kids preference will be given to a home primary school aged and older for Peanut’s sake.
Size
15 kgs
Exercise requirements
Medium - playful and energetic.
How is your dog on a lead?
Starts off pulling but settles down nicely.
How is the dog off the lead?
Will stay close by and come when called.
Escape artist
No
Nuisance barker or destructive?
Peanut is not a nuisance barker but will alert you if someone strange is about. She is usually not destructive. Understandably she may get into mischief if you leave her for an extensive length of time or over night.
Toilet trained
Yes
Tolerance to being alone
No. Peanut doesn't like being alone for lengthy periods and shakes if she thinks you are about to leave. Another dog in the home may help but preference will be given to a home where someone is home more often than not.
Likes
Attention, company, walks, tummy rubs and laying next to you on the couch. Peanut loves human company.
Dislikes
Being left alone for long periods of time.
Ideal home
Peanut needs a home where people are home more often than not. She loves kids, going to the park and rides in the car. She would suit active retirees, families with older kids and someone who works from home. She would also love a nice yard to explore and perhaps another dog for company.
Generally
Peanut loves attention and craves affection. She will gently remind you to scratch her tummy by reaching out with her paw to your hand. It is very cute. She has a placid, easy-going nature and thrives on having human company. She plays well with kids and loves fetching her toys in the hope you can play together. \ Peanut will be upset if left alone for long periods of time and will need help gaining her confidence in this area.

Adoption details
1) Read the dog's profile
2) Complete the expression of Interest form
http://www.dogadoption.org.au/adoption---expression-of-interest.html
3) Speak to the carer and arrange a meeting
4) House assessment is completed
5) Adoption is completed with a minimum 2 week cooling off period (similar to a trial but with legal protection)
We strongly recommend you read the dogs' profile carefully as everything we know about the dog/s is listed.
If you are interested in a dog we invite you to submit an application form so we can learn more about your circumstances. This is to ensure we match the right dog to the best home. (one form per family - not per dog) http://www.dogadoption.org.au/adoption---expression-of-interest.html
This is for the benefit of both the dog and the potential new owner/s. It also saves time and uses limited resources more effectively.
Once the essential criteria is confirmed we put you in touch with the carer for a more detailed chat with a view of meeting the dog/s.
If you decide to proceed with the adoption we make a time for a house check.
The adoption fee is then paid (there is a 2 week cooling off period.) Please note we do not usually allow trials.
Foster carers are also able to adopt foster dogs once approved.
