Bobby ~ Maltese ~ Puppy (On Trial 7/5/16)

We are delighted to finally be able to introduce Bobby, our 7 week old, male, Maltese puppy.

If you've followed their story, you'll already know that Bobby (and his brother and sister) came into care when they were still in utero. They were delivered via emergency c-section on 23rd February 2016, and unfortunately one of their siblings didn't make it. These 3 however have shown to be healthy, bouncy little super stars and we are now comfortable to start taking expressions of interest.

Due to his age he has not yet started training, and he will need someone to teach him manners. 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.

Bobby is an inside dog, and needs to find a home which will allow him to maintain this lifestyle. He would do well as an only dog, but only if there is someone home a lot. Otherwise, an older companion of similar size would be a great role model and companion for him. Regardless of the circumstances he will need someone home a lot In the initial few weeks to help him settle in.

Bobby has a low shedding coat which needs regular brushing (every few days depending on length), bathing (every few weeks) and clipping (every 4 to 8 weeks) to keep him comfortable and beautiful.

As Bobby is not yet desexed, he is only available for adoption to Newcastle, Lake Macquarie, Central Coast and Port Stephens areas because he'll need to be returned to one of our vets for desexing when he's 4 or 5 months old. His desexing is covered by his adoption fee, as is his 1st and 2nd vaccinations. his 3rd vaccination will be at the expense of is new owner.

We are expecting an overwhelming response in regards to these puppies, so your patience on a call back is appreciated in advance. Sophie is in foster care in Neath, NSW (7 minutes east of Cessnock) and is not currently available for adoption interstate.
