About Sparky ~ Mini Foxy puppy (On Trial 30/12/15)
Sparky is a beautiful 10 week old, Miniature Fox Terrier x puppy. He is a tiny little boy weighing only 1.6 kgs. He is learning his house training but is only a baby so accidents will happen and his new family will need to continue his positive reinforcement training. Puppy school is always recommended for puppies to give them the best start in life.
Sparky needs to be an inside dog and to be a family member. He loves to play with the other dogs so another small friendly dog would be good for him.
He is a smart little boy and loves to play with his toys and run around the yard under supervision and play with his doggy friends and his humans. But of course being so young still has to learn manners and is doing well with his reward-based training and is learning his basic commands.
Puppies are not just for Christmas, they are a 15 plus year commitment and family member. All dogs and puppies need plenty of affection, exercise, and training.
Puppies have very sharp teeth and like to chew things, even fingers and toes. For this reason, and because he is so small, he is not available to be adopted to a family with children under 10.
As Sparky is not yet desexed, he is only available for adoption to Newcastle, Lake Macquarie, Central Coast and Port Stephens because he'll need to be returned to one of our vets for desexing when he's 5 months old.
If you would like more information about Sparky please contact his carer Debbie on 0408 825 614 (preferred) or email debbie_morphett@bigpond.com. Sparky is living in Beresfield, NSW 2322 a suburb of Newcastle.
Sparky's adoption fee is $550 and includes his desexing, first two vaccinations, flea and worm treatments, and microchipping. 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.
