About Clayton ~ Kelpie X ~ Puppy (on trial 22:08/16)
Introducing Clayton! A 15 week old, male, Kelpie X puppy.
Clayton is a very energetic little puppy who has been raised in a home environment. He has been very well socialised with other puppies and adult dogs (small and large) and gets along well with them all. He's met lots of people and is friendly and affectionate with all of them.
Clayton will grow up to be a medium sized dog. We always recommend puppy-training classes to give your new family member the best start in life. We don't feel that Clayton will be suitable as a dog athlete or running partner.
It would be a big plus if you have a friendly adult dog as a teacher, companion and playmate for Clayton. 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.
Clayton needs to be welcome inside when people are home, and to sleep inside at least until fully grown. He will be wonderful family dog and is suitable for children 10 years and older. Due to the nature of Kelpie's you will need good 6ft fencing with no small gaps. He can't go to rural fencing (eg: mesh or wire).
As Clayton 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 approximately 5 months old.
For more information or to meet Clayton, please phone his foster mum Robyn on 02 4953 7115. Please leave a detailed message and she'll ring you back. Clayton is in Cessnock, NSW (west of Newcastle).
Clayton's adoption fee is $450 and includes his desexing, vaccinations and microchipping and she's been treated for fleas and worms. 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.
