Stanley ~ 10mo BC X Staffy boy (On Trial 22/10/16)

Hi, I’m Stanley! I’m a friendly 10 month old Border Collie X Staffy boy.

I am a little bigger than an English Staffy and a little smaller than a Border Collie. My foster mum says I have a beautiful staffy smile and lots of border collie energy . Pats, belly rubs and time with my humans are a few of my favourite things. I am happiest when I am with my people and I am looking for a new family to love.

I have been taught to sit, stay, lay down and come when I am called. My foster family let me inside and outside and I can use a doggy door. I prefer to be outside during the day playing with my foster brother and napping in the sun, but in the evening I like to curl up inside with my foster family while they watch TV. I love people so much and sometimes get a bit excited when i see them, but I am learning and my new owner will need to be patient with me (after all I am only a puppy). I am learning to be calm and sit when I want belly rubs. I don’t really like to bark. I love to chase balls and play with my squeaky toys and I am even learning to fetch! My foster family are teaching me house manners - I know that I am not allowed on the furniture and that inside time is “quiet time”. I enjoy my daily walks and adventures, and I walk nicely on the lead most of the time.

I have met dogs of all sizes and I love canine company. I do not jump fences or dig to escape, but my new family will need 4-5ft fences to keep me safe. My ideal home will be without chickens or pocket pets as I find it hard to resist chasing them. I have never met a cat so I’m not sure how I would go with them.

My new home must provide lots of love and be willing to continue my training - there is so much I want to learn. I will gladly repay you with loyalty and lots of doggy kisses. I am suited to a couple, single or family, but children over 8 would be best as I get excited and may knock small children over. If you have a dog already then bring them along to meet me and I’m sure we will be best friends!

I am ready to be your loyal mate so for more info or to meet me, please contact my foster carer Tiarny by emailing tiarnyjneesom@gmail.com. Stanley is located near Kurri Kurri, NSW (west of Newcastle) and is available for adoption interstate.
