Scamp *On Trial in His New Home*

*SCAMP IS CURRENTLY TRIALING HIS NEW HOME - NO MORE ENQUIRIES/APPLICATIONS PLEASE* Are you looking for an instant doggie family without going through the pesky puppy stage?? Then you can’t go past these lively, little dogs! Rescued from our local pound, where they’d ended up through no fault of their own, we don’t know their history though we assume that Scamp and Bindi are a duo who have never been apart as their bond is very strong, so we have promised to find them a loving home where they can be together forever; will it be with you?

Scamp and Bindi are friendly and affectionate without being overly licky or in your face though they do make good watchdogs when someone comes to the door. They’re an energetic pair who think kids are good fun and are better suited to primary school aged kids or older as they do tend to jump up a bit especially when they’re super-excited.

We don’t know their past though we do know that some dog training would be highly recommended to help channel their energy – teaching them the “down” command would be a good place to start! And no cats in their forever home please unless they want to be harassed and chased!

At 15 months old effervescent Scamp (white male), with the biggest brown eyes, loves to play, play, play either with Bindi or his doggie toys or with anyone else who’s keen to join in. He enjoys cuddles and attention and at the end of a long day of playing is happy to curl up beside you on the couch. Scamp is also quite good on a lead and enjoys going for a walk. He is very food orientated which will help with further training.

3 year old Bindi (female) is also full of beans and likes to play though not so much with toys but definitely with Scamp. She too has a smoochie side enjoying snuggles and once calm makes a terrific lapdog. Unlike Scamp Bindi’s not such a fan of a lead, so will need some encouragement and some help with this in her forever home. Bindi loves to be wrapped up at night in her blanket and will wait for you to wake before getting up in the morning.

Both dogs are housetrained, use a doggie door and sleep inside at night which we’d want to see continued in their forever home but they’re also happy to cuddle up together and sleep outside – whatever suits. Being Maltese/Shih Tzu crosses they don’t lose any hair though they’ll require a good brush once a week and a professional clip a few times a year to keep their coats in tip-top condition.

We would love to honour our promise to find Scamp and Bindi a home together where they can enjoy an inside / outside lifestyle and be part of the household’s goings on. Secure fences, daily walks or runs around the backyard and toys to play with will make this enthusiastic duo very happy indeed!!
