About Patsy
Patsy has been a bit outnumbered by the boys in her litter. She is one of only 3 girls amongst the 8. She's a robust little puppy though and can cope with some rough and tumble games. At the same time she is a great at giving puppy cuddles. She is calm and confident, just like all her siblings, and just a delight to have around.
Patsy was born in Ali Curung in the heart of the dog dreaming country of Central Australia. Her mum was being cared for there by some visiting workers, who asked us to take her into care. The puppies were born the night before we arrived and travelled to Tennant Creek with their mum. There they have been cared for on a five acre farmlet on the edge of town. Its been a safe and peaceful environment for them, and it really shows in the pups, who are all absolutely delightful. Mum Xena is a gorgeous gentle natured 15 kg dog who despite being only 10 months old did a great job rearing these guys. She has weaned the pups and is now in foster care herself getting ready to be rehomed. We have included a picture of Patsy's lovely mum.
Patsy is still only a little girl, so she will not be ready to travel for a few more weeks. We would love her to have a great home waiting for her when he is ready.
Our rescue and rehabilitation work happens in Central Australia, but because of the scarcity of adopters locally, our re-homing operation is in South Australia. Nelson's adoption fee includes crate hire, courier transport by road from Tennant Creek to Alice Springs, and a direct flight from Alice Springs to Adelaide. He is currently in foster care in Tennant Creek.
Medical notes
Patsy will be wormed and heart-worm treated again just before leaving the Territory. She should be de-wormed fortnightly until 5 months of age and have at least 1 further heart-worm treatment after she arrives down south, before reverting to a normal worming regime
