About Geordy ~ Labrador x Goldie puppy (Trial 14/5/16)
Geordy is a 9 week old, male, Labrador x Golden Retreiver. He is very people orientated and loves to be where you are and to be picked up for a snuggle. When there is no human to play with he spends his time chasing and wrestling with all the other pups and adult dogs in his foster home, hiding amongst the ferns and shrubs, and testing out lots of different toys. He is fearless and has lots of courage for his age and size!
Geordy is a very healthy little puppy who has been raised in a home environment. He will grow up to be a medium sized dog. We recommend puppy training classes for all puppies. Geordy will need a daily walk, toys, and interaction with people. Puppies are a big commitment for approximately 12 to 15 years.
He will be great family dog and is suitable for children 8 years and older. You will need good fencing with no small gaps. He cannot go to rural fencing (eg: mesh or wire).
It would be a big plus if you have a friendly adult dog as a teacher, companion and playmate for Geordy. 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.
As Geordy is not yet desexed, he is only available for adoption to Newcastle, 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 Geordy, please phone his foster mum Robyn on 02 4953 7115. Please leave a detailed message and she'll ring you back. The puppies are in Glendale, NSW (Lake Macquarie, near Newcastle).
Geordy's adoption fee is $550 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.
