I've been adopted!
About Petey ~ Cavalier x, 2yo (On Trial 11/5/16)
Hi my name is Peter Alexander, but you can call me Petey. I am a 2 year old, male, Cavalier x terrier dog. I'm fully grown and weigh about 8 kgs, but I am underweight and my foster mum is trying to help me gain a little weight, so I may get a little heavier. I stand 45 cms high. I was rescued from the pound and am looking forward to beginning a happy new life!
I love to run around with my foster brothers and sister. I am an active dog but I am still happy to laze around on the couch with my foster mum. I am very friendly, I love kids and play gently with them. I have played with children from 4 to 10 years, my foster mum doesn't know how I would get along with cats as I haven't met one.
I am a very happy, friendly and smart dog. When I first came into foster care, I was not house trained, but now I am almost there. I can sit and will come when you call me. I am a quiet dog, I only bark to let you know that someone is around.
In foster care I have been sleeping in a crate overnight. Once I go to bed I go to sleep and make no noise overnight. I am an inside dog and must be allowed access to the indoors during the day and need to sleep inside at night. I'll need a doggy coat in cooler weather.
My coat is easy care, I shed very little. I require a quick brush daily, and a bath when required. I don't like the bath but I just stand still whilst I am being washed. I have been vet checked and am very healthy.
I love going for a walk and am very good on the lead and need a walk every day. We can keep fit together!
I would best suit a home with a young family, and another dog. I love both human and K9 company, and whilst in foster care have been left alone with my foster brothers and sister and been well behaved. I'm not a destructive dog. I'm a very sweet, affectionate little man eager to have a loving home.

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.
