About Fin ~ kelpie x puppy, male (Trial 6/3/16)
Fin is an 8 week old, MALE, Kelpie x puppy. He is a healthy boy and has been very well socialised with people and with other dogs and puppies and gets along fabulously with everyone. He hasn't met a cat yet but he is young enough to think of a cat as just another playmate. A typical puppy, Fin enjoys romping in the yard with our other dogs and playing with all sorts of toys. He is enjoys downtime and cuddles.
We recommend puppy training classes for all puppies. Fin will need a daily walk, toys, and interaction with people. Puppies are a big commitment for approximately 15 years.
Fin needs to be allowed inside when people are home, and to sleep inside. He will be great family dog and is suitable for children 7 years and older. He will grow up to be a medium sized dog. You will need good fencing with no small gaps. He cannot go to rural fencing (eg: mesh or wire). Gates need to have locks on them to discourage dog thieves (sad but true).
It would be a big plus if you have a friendly adult dog as a teacher, companion and playmate for Fin. If you don't have another dog to keep him company, then there needs to be someone in the household that doesn't work full time.
There are 3 puppies in this litter, Aqua (female), Teal(female), and Fin(male). You can meet them all and choose your favourite.
As Fin is not yet desexed, he is only available for adoption to Newcastle, Lower Hunter, Lake Macquarie, Central Coast and Port Stephens because he'll need to be returned to our vet for desexing when he's 4 or 5 months old.
For more information or to meet Fin, please contact his foster mum Robyn on 02 4953 7115 and please leave a detailed message if not answered straight away. Fin is located in Glendale, NSW (Lake Macquarie, near Newcastle).
Fin's adoption fee is $500 and includes his desexing, 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.
