About Boof ~ Labrador ~ senior (trial 18/12/15)
If this was a dating website, Boofy would be the pick of the bunch. Smart, mature, good looking, cuddly and house trained. He is the total package.
So let’s get down to business. Boofy is a 9 year old yellow Labrador. Despite, his age Boofy has plenty of life left in him; he still bounces up and down in excitement when his humans arrive home and pushes his foster sister out of the way to be the first out the door on walks.
Being an older gentleman, Boofy has perfect manners inside the home; he is currently allowed on the bed and lounge for cuddles, which he laps up, however he will obey if asked to get down. He is not destructive inside, even if left alone. Boofy is a water baby at heart so a trip to the lake, beach or a clam shell of his own to wade in, would make him very content.
Boofy loves nothing more than chewing on a meaty bone, going for a daily walk and getting attention from his humans; he therefore needs to go to a home where he will be allowed inside to be a part of the family.
He is a big, strong boy but is very gentle for his size. Boofy gets on well with other dogs of all sizes; he is such a happy dog that a playmate would be welcomed but is not necessary in his new home.
If you think you could offer Boofy a loving retirement home, please contact his carer Kristen on 0413 061 211 or email iheartpeppa@gmail.com for more information. Boofy is in foster care in Toronto (Lake Macquarie, South of Newcastle).
Boofy's adoption fee is $150 and he is desexed, vaccinated, treated for fleas and worms, microchipped, and lifetime registered. 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.
