Spike ~ Kelpie x puppy (on trial 19/8/2017)

Spike is a lovely 3 month old Kelpie x puppy. He’s a big friendly boy who loves his dinner.

Spike always wants a cuddle and will happily sit on your lap and sleep. He gets on well with other dogs and loves to play.

Spike will grow up to be a medium sized dog. He has a beautiful chocolate coat and gorgeous green eyes. Being a Kelpie, he will have a lot of energy and need a good walk, preferably a run off-lead, every day. He is already demonstrating he will be a particularly loyal, smart and alert dog - as a working breed he will be highly trainable.

Spike’s toilet training and obedience training is coming along well. 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.

Spike would love to have another dog to keep him company. He would like to find a family who enjoys having their dog be part of all aspects of their life, from weekend outings to cuddling up inside in the evenings. As an active breed, he will need a decent sized yard with good fencing.

Spike's siblings: Layla, Maya, Rocco and Boof are also available for adoption.

As Spike is not yet desexed, he is only available for adoption to Newcastle, Lake Macquarie, Central Coast and Port Stephens because he'll need to be returned to our vet for desexing when he's approximately 5-6 months old.

For more information or to meet Spike please contact his foster mum Barbara by emailing johnnolan64@hotmail.com or on 0422 822 169. Spike is located in Singleton, NSW (west of Newcastle)

Spike's adoption fee is $500 and includes his desexing, vaccinations and microchipping and he's been treated for fleas and worms. You can see all our available dogs at www.dogrescuenewcastle.com.au
