Brax ~ male Mastiff x puppy (On Trial 13/3/17)

Brax is a gentle, 17 week old brindle mastiff x boy. He is very friendly and easy-going puppy - good with kids, other dogs of all sizes and cats. He will grow up to be a medium-large size dog.

Brax seeks out people for pats and cuddles, yet is submissive and eager to please. It is important that he has access to inside and people time as he seeks human time and companionship. It is also important to spend time teaching the things young pups need to learn like basic obedience - sit, come, stay etc. 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. Brax has already learnt to sit, but needs some more practice walking on a lead.

Brax is well socialised with doggy friends – he likes small dogs (like mini foxies and Chihuahuas) and he plays with big dog friends too, chasing and racing around. He is interested in cats, but tends to stand and yap in excitement. He is used to children, yet like all pups he will jump in excitement and climb over children that are small or sitting low to the ground.

Brax is one of four mastiff x pups looking for their forever homes (Bruno, Chelsea, Oliver and Brax). This litter of pups were surrendered along with their dog mummy to a local pound. Unfortunately, as happens with many unvaccinated dogs they contracted the deadly parvovirus and required thousands of dollars worth of life saving treatment. Through tireless efforts by the staff at Toronto Vets NSW they survived against the odds. The pups are happy, healthy pups and have all had their vaccines and been medically cleared for adoption.

As Brax is not yet desexed, he is only available for adoption to Newcastle, Lake Macquarie, Central Coast and Port Stephens. He will need to be returned to our vet for desexing when he is approximately 6 months old.

For more information or to meet Brax, please contact Chontelle on 0477 779 534 or email bubbles13.5.11@hotmail.com.

Brax is located in Paxton, NSW (near Newcastle) and his adoption fee is $500 - this includes desexing, vaccinations and microchipping, flea and worm treatment. You can see all of our available dogs at www.dogrescuenewcastle.com.au
