Jacob

Jacob is the sweetest boy. The vet estimates that he will grow to be a 35-40 kg dog, and thickset like his Mum. At 10 weeks he weighs in at 11 kg! Mum is a mixture of breeds, and we think dad is mainly Rotti. Jacob is doing well with his house training, but needs a routine and still needs his human to think for him. He is able to go through the night until about 5.30 am at the moment with careful management. We can already see that he has a calm and quiet nature, and that he loves a big morning nap, and a nice afternoon nap, with a few little naps in between, just like his sister Lilli!

Jacob came into care from Epenarra community with his mum and sister Lilly. Mum is a lovely natured dog who gets on with dogs and humans - she has been a great mum, and is very playful with the kids. We can see that Jacob has inherited her bombproof nature. Mum was homeless, and a local worker was feeding and caring for her and her puppies on the Council grounds. The puppies have done really well, and are growing up beautifully. They will both make wonderful family dogs, both of them.

Our rescue and rehabilitation work happens in Central Australia, but because of the scarcity of adopters locally, our re-homing operation is in South Australia. Jacob's adoption fee includes crate hire, courier transport by road from Tennant Creek to Alice Springs, and a direct flight from Alice Springs to Adelaide. Jacob is currently in foster care in Elliott NT.
