About Mambo ~ Terrier x Staffy (on trial 1/10/16)
Hey I'm Mambo! My foster mum calls me 'Mamby Pamby' because I'm super sweet and she thinks it's cute - actually it's so embarrassing. I'm an adorable mix of Jack Russell Terrier and Staffy, but who really can tell and what does it matter anyway when I'm just the right mix of intelligence, enthusiasm and love. I'm a male around 15 months old and 20kg.
You can probably tell from my muscled physique that I'm athletic! I love walks, chasing a tennis ball and tug games. I'm practicing my swimming and gaining confidence every day. I lead an active lifestyle and I'll need a well fenced yard.
I currently live with 4 other dogs of different breeds and I love all of them. My charm is contagious and my foster mum thinks it's amazing that I seem to bring out the playful side in even the most reserved of my fur buddies. I would like to live in a home with other dogs as I don't like being by myself. I've never met a cat or any pocket pets.
I love children too but I might accidentally knock little ones over, so older kids would be better. I have learned how to sit, drop and come when I'm called. I respond best to reward based training. I really like to please my humans so I'm always trying to do the right thing.
I am for the most part toilet trained and I do my business out in the grass but new owners should be aware that even the most well toilet trained dog or pup can have accidents when in a new home. I love to come inside for cuddle time with my family. I currently sleep outside but would be fine inside. I was rescued from a country pound and I'm ready to start my fabulous new life with my forever family.
Sometimes little things worry me because they remind me of my former life. So I would appreciate your understanding, reassurance and gentleness to help me be the best Mambo I can be.

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.
