Boston ~ 8 month old Kelpie (on trial 1/12/18)

I’m Boston! I’m black and beautiful, mostly Kelpie, about 8 months old. I’m special in a lot of ways but one of them is that I was born with a club foot. I don’t have toes on my right front foot, but I do have a pad – my toes on the other front foot are a bit different too but that doesn’t stop me being the cutest pup you will meet.

So, I’m a pretty neat package. I’m on the small side for Kelpie - weighing in at about 16kg. My feet being a bit different means I’m not a digger – and that’s not a bad thing! Because of my foot, I can’t do super-long walks in one go - we’d need to stop and smell the roses on the way.

I can sit for the right reward. I haven’t had much training but my foster Mum says I’m pretty smart – she rates that on how long it takes a dog to work out that the side gate opens inwards when we’re going out for a walk – I remembered second time out!

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 I’m sure we could be 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.
When I came into foster care I was a little bit tentative but now I’m very settled and I like coming inside to relax on the mat. I’m happy sleeping outside in a kennel or on the back verandah rather than being closed in a room inside.

Dog Rescue Newcastle is looking for a special family to adopt me. You might have a dog friendly dog at home already who won’t pick on my for being a bit different and some humans to give me all the love I deserve. I do need someone to look after me willing to take me as I am. I do have a disability so please be aware I might have future issues with my paws.
