About Marla ~ Corgi x Red Cattle Dog (on trial 19/10/16)
The sweet Marla is a cheeky 1 year old female Cattle X Corgi who loves people and other dogs. She is the size of a small Corgi but has the energy and personality of a Red Cattle dog.
Don’t underestimate those stumpy little legs - she can run, jump, use stairs, and be very playful. When she’s very playful with her foster sister, she spins around in circles of happiness.
She is cheeky in that she will make her way inside a door if you open it in front of her – she’s so small and quick she’ll be inside for a quick run before you know she’s passed you! She comes straight back outside after she’s had her thrill.
Marla is used to being outside with a playmate, and she loves children. She also likes the taste of cats.
At first Marla is timid and shy, and moves like an older dog, but once she opens up she literally springs into action and her youthfulness is apparent. She freezes up on the lead too, insisting you either drag her or pick her up (or let her off the lead);
Not much is known about Marla’s past. She is not housetrained and doesn’t know any basic commands yet. Her future owner will need to be patient with her to teach her how to be a good girl. She travels well in the car but does not enjoy being on a lead.
For more information or to meet Marla, please contact her foster carer Sherona on 0434 572 609 or email spillidg3@gmail.com. Marla is in foster care in Rathmines, NSW (Lake Macquarie, south of Newcastle) and is available for adoption interstate.
Marla's adoption fee is $400 and she is desexed, vaccinated, treated for fleas and worms, microchipped, and lifetime registered. 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.
