About Tank ~ Cattle Dog (Purebred) on trial 28/05/16
Meet Tank! Our beautiful male, purebred (albeit Stumpy Tail) Blue Cattle Dog. Tank is just over 6 months old, and is ready to start the search for his family
Tank lives up to his name as a big boisterous boy. He is full of energy, but amazingly has a very gentle soul. He is in great health and is fantastic with children, however we think he would be better suited to a family with older children, as sometimes he forgets how big he is when he's excited.
Tank is great with all dogs, but gets along better with larger, more energetic breeds like him - where he can play to his fullest. He is a very smart boy, thus has been toilet trained quite quickly. He does however still have the occasional accident when he is very excited. We always recommend puppy-training classes to give your new family member the best start in life. All dogs and puppies need plenty of affection, exercise, and training.
Tank will happily sleep both indoors and outdoors without any trouble, however inside with his family is obviously his preferred option (if he gets one). His favourite activities involve eating and “High 5 –ing” for cuddles. He likes to talk a lot to himself whilst he sleeps. It gives us a good giggle.
Tanks ideal home would be with a 'dog experienced' family or couple with lots of energy and a big backyard to run around. Tank's family will be rewarded with a best friend for life. If you think this is you, please get in touch.
For more information or to meet Tank, please contact his foster carer Tom on 0425 600 644 or email bpooley@ymail.com. Tank is in foster care in Aberdare, NSW (30 minutes north of Newcastle) and is available for adoption interstate.

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.
