About Buddy ~ Kelpie puppy (on trial 25/09/16)
Buddy is 16 week old Kelpie puppy looking for his forever family! He is currently living with 3 dogs, a cat and two kids and is doing great! He loves everyone and everyone loves him – its impossible not to love him!
Buddy has the sweetest nature and loves playtime with his human and doggy foster siblings a Chihuahua, Maltese and Collie – he is great with kids and very respectful of adult dogs!
His favorite game is fetch ball - will bring the ball back and sit nicely until you throw it again!! Belly rubs and cuddles are also top on his list!!
Our cat isn’t too impressed with him and he doesn’t seem to bothered with her either which works well.
True to his breed he is showing signs of being super smart and has picked up the house rules very quickly - he is toilet trained and will sleep happily in his crate at night. He has also started basic training – sit, stay and wait.
He travels well in the car and will generally snooze through the journey!
Buddy would suit an active family with or without another dog. He will definitely need someone who has the time and commitment to continue his training, will give him lots of exercise and has a fully fence yard. In return he will give you endless love and has the potential to be a wonderful furry family member!
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.
For more information or to meet Buddy, please contact his foster carer Vivienne on 0424 410 052 or email viviebassett@hotmail.com
As Buddy 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 one of our vets for desexing when he's old enough.
Buddy's adoption fee is only $500 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.
