About Wally ~ Chihuahua x Cavalier (On trial 10/7/2017)
Where’s Wally?! Wally is a 1 year old Chihuahua cross cavalier with the silkiest of fur and graceful trot! Wally is still a playful pup who loves nothing more than a game of tug of war but also likes a snuggle on the couch. In the colder winter months he likes to burrow under the blankets and will happily keep your feet warm whilst he’s there.
Wally absolutely loves kids and has not got a bad bone in his body! He loves to go on walks and does not pull on the lead, he even lets his human foster siblings walk him which they love!
Wally would love another doggy playmate but this is not essential as long as his human was home more often than not. Wally has lived with small and large dogs and his best play buddy was a Kelpie cross, he has also lived with a Maltese, Chihuahua and a Spoodle. He can be scared of dogs that he does not know and may bark when unsure - so his ideal doggy companion would be a self assured pup who likes gentle play and can show Wally that there’s no need to be scared! He has grown in confidence greatly since being in care and with the continued patience and positive experiences he will be a social butterfly in no time. He has also lived with cats and will happily play gently if they allow or will read the cues and leave them alone.
Wally hasn’t had a lot in the way of formal training but despite this he can sit, wait and his recall is very good! Although as with any dog he will need some time to get to know you before letting him off leash.
Wally would not be suited to a full time worker but will make an ideal companion dog. He does not need a huge amount of exercise just a daily walk and lots of love!
For more information or to meet Wally, please contact his foster carer Vivienne on email viviebassett@hotmail.com. Wally is in foster care in Tighes Hill, NSW and is available for adoption interstate.
Wally’s adoption fee is $500 and he is desexed, vaccinated, treated for fleas and worms, microchipped, and lifetime registered.

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. Word format: http://www.dogrescuenewcastle.com.au/adopt/adoptionquestionnaire.docx or PDF: http://www.dogrescuenewcastle.com.au/adopt/adoptionquestionnaire.pdf
(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.
