About Knox
Spot was nine months old on 10 May 2018. He was weighed recently at 34kgs and height to top of his back is about 65cms.
He has a lovely temperament, and will ask for cuddles many times a day.
He socialises well with other dogs and would love another playful dog as a permanent companion. He has not shown any food aggression with his smaller doggie companion
He lives with a cat and spends lots of time inside with her, he is interested in her, sometimes to play, but would not hurt her.
He is very social with people and loves children, but because of his size and age he needs supervision to be gentle with small children because he is still a puppy.
He is not good with chickens although he is getting used to seeing them in the cage, but he will chase them.
He only knows basic commands, such as sit, and is learning to drop. He is very food and praise orientated and we believe he will respond to training. He has been tested on recall and although he needs a lot of improvement, so far he comes back awhile after being called. He walks on leash with a halti and is doing quite well, and does not react to other dogs barking at him from behind a gate when walking past.
He is toilet trained and crate trained. He has never had an accident inside with us and he spends a lot of time inside with us.
He will need a car restraint when travelling. He loves the car but likes to sit on top of the driver.
Knox would ideally love a home with another canine companion, one who can rumble and tumble and keep him company throughout the day. He would love a social home that can take him out and about for adventures and also keep him well trained and social.
He will need to be allowed inside at night so he can spend time with his new family. Fencing over 5ft due to his size will need to be present in his new home and we may consider rural fencing with the right home if you are understanding of the need for boundary training.
He can show some anxiety if he is left alone for long periods of time due to being in the pound and in an unstable household beforehand but is showing to improve as his confidence and settling continues in foster care. So his new home will need to keep that in mind so they're aware of his settling.
Knox is located in the Newcastle region and his adoption fee is $350.
Adoption details
In the ENQUIRY SECTION please explain in LENGTH some basics about yourself/ your life/ your household and what type of life you can provide for one of our rescue animals.
If successful, you would be contacted by phone, where we will talk about your enquiry and potentially organise a meet and greet between you/ your dogs/ your family and the potential candidate
From there, you can either take your animal with you if the meet and greet was successful and their vet work has been completed- or if the vet work hasn't been completed, you must wait until it's finished before taking your new friend home which will be organised between yourself and the foster carer.
Every animal has a 2 week trial period.
This pet has been adopted and found love with its new family.
