Octavia

Octavia is an intelligent little pup. She was the first one to work out how to climb out of the puppy box when she first arrived in foster care, and toddled across the floor to hang out. She wants to be with you all the time and loves being patted.

This puppy is one of a litter of 9. Their mum is a staffy cross who was surrendered to the RSPCA when she was pregnant. The pups have been raised in a home environment in foster care since 3 weeks old. They have met heaps of new people, and always respond with enthusiasm. They will be best suited to an active family who wants to involve a dog in their daily life. Staffies love people, so will need to be allowed inside with their humans when someone is home.

Puppies need a lot of attention and affection. They will need someone who is committed to toilet training, puppy school and socialisation. An adult dog companion would be fantastic, but if you don't have a dog there will need to be someone in the household that doesn't work full time.

A fully fenced yard with no small gaps is an absolute must.
