George ~ Mastiff X puppy (on trial 14/2/19)

George is an 8 week old, Mastiff X puppy. He is a loving, active and healthy pup who will make a wonderful family dog. George has the Mastiff chestnut colouring with a black mask so is growing into a handsome young man. He was the smallest one of the litter and he will not grow up to be as big as his siblings.

George 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.

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 (from a Delta Instructor or Positive Trainer).

George will need a friendly adult dog as a teacher, companion and playmate as he would be too lonely on his own. It would also be good if someone in the household doesn't work full time. As with all puppies he will need three feeds a day at first and gentle training to fit into his family.

George needs to be welcome inside when people are home, and to sleep inside at least until fully grown. You need good fencing with no small gaps. He can't go to rural fencing (eg: mesh or wire).

George will be wonderful family dog. All puppies need to be monitored by the adult in charge and not left alone with children. If you are prepared to teach your children to respect and handle a puppy gently this breed is great for children but as with all puppies they bite and the bites hurt! A home with older children who can understand this is preferable.

As George 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 George, please contact his foster carer Lorraine on lollyb81@gmail.com George is in Lemon Tree Passage, NSW.

George’s adoption fee is $550 and includes his desexing, vaccinations and microchipping and she's been treated for fleas and worms.
