Graeme ~ Kelpie x puppy (on trial 8/2/2018)

The very handsome Graeme is a 7 week old kelpie x puppy who is full of love. Graeme likes to snooze and wakes full of energy and loves to have a run around the yard.

Graeme is super smart - he has already mastered a doggy door all by himself. He loves his time with his foster parents and is always keen to hang with them.

Graeme is a very healthy little puppy who has been raised in a home environment. He has been very well socialised with other puppies and adult dogs (small and large) and gets along well with them all. He's met lots of people and is friendly and affectionate with them.

Graeme will grow up to be a medium size dog. 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.

It would be a big plus if you have a friendly adult dog as a teacher, companion and playmate for Graeme. If you don't have another dog to keep him company, then there needs to be someone in the household that doesn't work full time. As Graeme is a working dog breed, he will need exercise and stimulation and may get lonely at home by himself for long periods.

Graeme needs to be welcome inside when people are home, and to sleep inside at least until fully grown. He will be wonderful family dog and is suitable for children 8 years and older. You need good fencing with no small gaps. He can't go to rural fencing (eg: mesh or wire).

Graeme's siblings: Cora, Chelsea, Arthur, Raven, Red Dog, Bryan, Stewie, Chuck and Georgie are also available for adoption.

Graeme will be ready for adoption when he is 10 weeks old. As Graeme 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 months old.

For more information or to meet Graeme, please contact Sharron on 0423 331 057 or email sstudley3@bigpond.com. Graeme is in Waratah West, NSW (Newcastle area).

Graeme's adoption fee is $550 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
