About Vincent- Dingo
Vincent is cheeky, happy-go lucky guy, who is still a big pup, always looking for the next opportunity to create mischief. He loves climbing on volunteers backs and shoulders for a better view of his surroundings. He's always keen for an adventure and is comfortable with strangers and new situations provided he has a human family member near by!
Vincent is great in the car and fantastic on lead. He loves to swim and bushwalks are his absolute favorite. This cheeky yet chill boy would love to be the newest addition to your family.
Vincent would suit a home with either another dingo (female only) or would also be just fine with human companions only.
Vincent is one of a number of rescue dingoes surrendered into our care when their owners could no longer care for them.
Vincent is not suitable to live with cats, livestock or pocket pets unless they are housed separately/out of view.
Vincent is a high content dingo
A high content dingo typically has two dingo parents or a large amount of dingo genetics. High content dingoes are often known as “pure dingoes”. High content dingoes have much stricter fencing requirements due to their climbing ability. You will need ONE OR MORE of the follow BEFORE an adoption trial for a high content dingo can begin.
- A 2.4m colour-bond or paling fence with nothing leaning against or near the fence line
- A 1.8m fence (of any sturdy material) with a 45 degree inward facing over-hang of 60cm to prevent climbing (see here: https://sanctuarysos.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/cat-proof-fence-barrier-to-keep-cats-safe-in-the-garden.jpg ).
- A dog enclosure at least 1.8m high with either a full roof or 45 degree inward facing over-hang of 60cm to prevent climbing. Must be at least 25m square (for instance 5m x 5m or 8m x 3m)
- Mesh, concrete or similar around the base of the fence may also be required
Some manufacturers of pre-made dog enclosures include:

Another option is using construction fencing style panels from bunnings or weldedmesh sheets and posts.
PERMITS- no permit is required to own a dingo or dingo hybrid in NSW at the present time.

Adoption details
Please note at this time pending legal advice we are unable to offer fox kit adoption to private owners.
Adopting a dingo from Sydney Fox Rescue is essentially a three step process:
1. Fill out an adoption form and send it back to us with an email outlining anything else you think might be relevant, particularly what your house and yard are like. Remember our dingoes require an enclosure or modified fencing.
2. Come along to meet us and our dingoes at our Blacktown shelter or their foster carers home and let us find the right furry family member for you.
3. Before you can pick up your new dingo you will also need to under a house/yard check and pay your adoption fee. No animals are rehomed unless their adoption fee is paid in full.
