About Apple- Dingo
Hi my name is Apple and I am a quirky and cute little lady! I'm around 9 months old and I'm a rescued desert dingo (short coat).
I'm in foster care right now, and have become quite accustomed to the finer things life- soft beds, liver treats and squeaky toys. At my foster carers I'm allowed inside and outside and
I have come a long way but I am still very timid and strangers, particularly men make me scared. Because I'm a timid, shy little lady I need someone who has a lot of patience, and a quiet home with no kids. I also need an experienced female owner knowledgeable about wild dingoes and another dingo to keep me company. I much prefer the company of other canines to humans.
I had to have a big operation on my front legs, but I was a good little patient and recovered well. It does mean when I get older I will be prone to something called arthritis, so you should definitely have a chat to the shelter v-e-t about this so you can be prepared.
Despite my big opperation I absolutely love squeaky toys and chew toys and with the help of my favorite treats I've even been learning to sit!
Are you my fur-ever home? The shelter thinks my chances of finding a family of my very own are slim, but I'm really hoping there's a human out there just for me.
FENCING
Apple is a high content dingo, normally this would mean she would require 2.4m fencing. However because of her elbow surgery she has limited jumping and climbing capacity and a 1.8m secure colourbond or palling fence will be fine.
Medical notes
Apple has had major surgery on both her front legs to remove a piece of bone in her elbow joints to allow for more normal movement and growth. However this type of surgery has limited effectiveness and a poor prognosis. She will likely suffer from early onset arthritis and need pain medication and regular physio as she gets older. The rescue can assist with these costs for the right owner.
