Jarrah ~ beautiful 7yo kelpie (On Trial 29/8/18)

I’m Jarrah – I’m red and beautiful and smart just like Red Dog.

I’m about seven years old – I’m agile but I’m sensible about it – I can do this great leaping in the air trick – you’ll have to meet me to see that – but I don’t jump on people or over fences.

The other things that might drive you mad – digging holes and barking – I don’t do those either.
So, I’m a pretty neat package. I’m all red except for a splash of white on my chest – which by the way, I’m happy to roll over for you to rub any time at all.

I can sit and stay (sometimes I have to be convinced to stay) and wait for my dinner. I do like to be in front when we’re out walking with the lead or harness, but with a bit of encouragement from you and effort from me, I’m sure we’ll work that out.

Naturally, I am toilet trained – what lady wouldn’t be! When I came into foster care I was a little bit tentative and jumpy with a couple of moves but now I’m very settled and I like coming inside to relax on the mat. I do sleep inside but would be happy outside on a comfy bed when the weather is a bit warmer – I’m not too keen on a kennel.

I’m happy in the car – especially if we are going somewhere that ends in a walk.

I have developed an understanding with the resident cat at my foster home – he is very large and bossy so I’ve learnt to keep clear of him – if you have a cat we could meet and perhaps become friends.

I looooove people – so would be super-happy with lots of people contact. I’d need to meet your children before deciding if I was ideally suited to them – maybe not the small ones.
