About Thunder ~ Border Collie x pup (on trial 24/1/2018)
Hi I’m the absolutely spunky spontaneous Thunder. I’m a 10 week old male Border collie x cuteness!!!. I should grow up to be a medium to large doggy.
I get on great with other dogs and currently live with 6 DRN puppies and a 4yr old Blue Heeler who I love playing with. I am also growing up with 2 Toddlers and a baby who I love giving kisses too and receiving heaps of cuddles and plenty of playtime. In saying that though I would suit older children (10yrs +) or very experienced and confident kids if younger.
I’m a quiet pup and enjoy snuggling with you. I sit back and take everything in but also can be spontaneous and have a burst of energy to wrestle and play. Having Border collie in me though I need lots of playtime, running around and need to be kept busy. I travel very well in the car and sleep most of the time travelling when I find a comfy spot.
I am still working on toilet training and learning basic commands well. I come to my name running and I’m starting to sit when its tucker time too. But being a puppy all this will take time and I need your patience as I learn and thrive.
My foster mum thinks I’m going to be so super loyal for my right forever home. I reckon she would adopt me herself if she could! I like to stay close to you even when we are out and about I won’t go too far from you and happily lay at your feet. I’m very relaxed when I’m not playing and will just lay there with you.
I do enjoy being indoors sometimes but I love exploring outdoors as well and sometimes I prefer sleeping in my kennel too!
When it comes to walking on the lead I’m still learning the whole concept this but I follow the best I can. So be patient with me while I learn please. Puppy school training is a must for me, mum reckons I would really benefit from it as Im very smart but can be cheeky.
I reckon my ideal home needs to be full of love, fun, energy and cuddles!!! I like a few toys around to play with especially if you’re not home but would prefer someone home most of the time. I need an energetic home as I need to be exercised and played with heaps daily, go for runs and play at the beach and parks. I must have a lot of interaction otherwise I will get bored. We can go for a couple walks a day and throw the ball and I love tug o war. I need good fencing, a warm dry place to sleep; a playmate would be best too. I will reward you with smiles, licks, snuggles, loyalty, love and laughter.
As I am not yet desexed, I am only available for adoption to Newcastle, Lake Macquarie, Central Coast and Port Stephens because I will need to be returned to our vet for desexing when I’m approximately 5 months old.
For more information or to meet me please contact my foster mum Rebecca on becca.tw@hotmail.com. I am in foster care in Mayfield, NSW.
My adoption fee is $500 and includes my desexing, vaccinations and microchipping and I have been treated for fleas and worms.
Medical notes
Happy and healthy puppy
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.
