About Maya Dingo
Hi my name is Maya and I'm a fast learner, I love puzzle toys like kongs and treatballs and I was the first of my siblings to learn to walk on the lead! I'm very food motivated and if you're looking for a puppy to teach fun tricks and go to puppy school with, I'm you're girl! I love people and I'm always eager to please- I do also get up to lots of mischief!
I'm an outgoing, curious little lady but can take a bit of time to get to know new people. Once I know you though, I'll be your best bud. I love walks, I would make a great companion for an active family who love bush walks and maybe even camping! Keep in mind even though I'm good with kids, I will grow to an energetic 18kg-20!
I would love a home with a canine companion to goof around with, or perhaps you could adopt one of my siblings as well? I am fantastic with other dogs and dingoes.
Background: Maya and her puppy pack of cuddly siblings came to us from Victoria after they were seized from a private wildlife park that was shut down by authorities. They have lived at Sydney Dingo Rescue since they were 4 weeks old, they have been socialized and handled every day by our wonderful volunteers making them outgoing, affectionate, adventurous pups that would suit many different types of families.
Fencing (ask us if you need a hand! We're here to help):
Maya is a high content dingo
A high content dingo typically has two dingo parents or a large amount of dingo genetics. High content dingoes are often known as “pure dingoes”. High content dingoes have much stricter fencing requirements due to their climbing ability. You will need ONE OR MORE of the follow BEFORE an adoption trial for a high content dingo can begin.
- A 2.5m colour-bond or paling fence with nothing leaning against or near the fence line
- A 1.8m fence (of any sturdy material) with a 45 degree inward facing over-hang of 60cm to prevent climbing (see here: https://sanctuarysos.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/cat-proof-fence-barrier-to-keep-cats-safe-in-the-garden.jpg ).
- A dog enclosure at least 1.8m high with either a full roof or 45 degree inward facing over-hang of 60cm to prevent climbing. Must be at least 25m square (for instance 5m x 5m or 8m x 3m)
- Mesh, concrete or similar around the base of the fence may also be required
Some manufacturers of pre-made dog enclosures include:

Another option is using construction fencing style panels from bunnings or weldedmesh sheets and posts.
