About Jessie (& Bindi)
1) Generally
- Good with Other Dogs
- Not Good With Cats
- Good with Kids + 12 yrs - may accidentally knock a small child over
- Toilet Trained
- Size Jessie 23 kgs, Bindi 20 kgs
2) Likes, Dislikes, Fears, Endearments and Quirks
This devoted pair love their human family and enjoy playing with each other and exploring.
They love people and being made a fuss of. Bindi may take a few hours to warm to new people, especially men. They also love food, squeaky toys that bounce, rides in the car, swimming and visiting extended family.
Both are good with other dogs however, Bindi's over exuberance to play saw her attacked and ever since, she can be a little nervous. Hence, they are always on a lead now.
While they love each other they should be fed separately to avoid any misunderstandings.
Jessie dislikes the clothes horse (go figure) and Bindi finds thunder and fireworks a bit scary. However, more than anything they don't like to be separated.
They are always happy to see you and their love for each other is inspirational.
3) Ideal Owner
Active singles or couples, perhaps with teenage kids, but with the time to commit to a regular exercise routine and willingness to shower them with oodles of attention.
Jessie and Bindi are ok for full time workers (9am-5pm) as long as they are a central focus when people are home. They should be the only pets.
While they are good with kids we recommend homes where any kids are at least teenagers and only if gentle and calm around dogs. No dog deserves to be rough housed or exposed to a loud, chaotic environment.
They will not suit homes where people live in very close proximity to each other with small outside areas e.g. villas, units, apartment complexes, terrace houses, strata complexes etc.
As the dogs are people orientated they need to be part of family activities.
They will not suit homes with residents that are:
- very young, frail, elderly,
- renters,
- novice dog owners or
- time poor.
4) Tolerance to Being Alone During the Day
Jessie will alert to something strange but is not currently a nuisance barker. Bindi is generally quiet.
The dogs will suit any of the following:
- someone home more often than not.
- someone that works from home.
- part time workers.
- empty nesters.
- active retirees.
- full time workers (9am-5pm) as long as the dogs are a central focus when folks are home.
The dogs are not destructive inside but like most dogs may damage the garden if left alone for long periods of time without appropriate exercise or mental stimulation.
5) Exercise Requirements
Medium - playful and moderately active. They like a daily walk but also keep each other entertained by playing together.
6) When ON a lead ...
Like most dogs Jessie is ok unless distracted - she loves the idea of playing with new doggy friends. Bindi tends to start off pulling but settles - she seems eager to get somewhere.
7) When OFF a lead ...
Recall is sometimes ok but needs more work.
8) Type of Yard Required
- Medium to large interesting and secure with areas to sun bake.
- Requires 6' (2 meter) high fencing.
- Fencing should be into the ground so can't dig underneath.

Adoption details
ADOPTION PROCESS (simple and easy)
1. Read the dog's detailed profile thoroughly - for you to self screen
2. The Expression of Interest (EOI) form MUST be completed prior to a meet and greet.
https://www.dogadoption.org.au/expression-of-interest---adoption.html
3. Speak to the carer/owner directly for more detailed info to determine if there are any 'deal breakers' - designed to save time and avoid falsely raising hopes.
4. 'Meet & Greet' - you travel to where the dog is. If you have a current dog it must meet too. We strongly recommend all members of the family attend. Both parties may wish to report their thoughts to each other but MUST update Dog Adoption directly too.
5. The dog MUST not be taken on the day unless PRIOR ARRANGEMENTS have been made e.g. travelling more then 2 hrs round trip. In this case we need a minimum of 2 days notice. The adoption agreement and payment must be made before collection of the dog.
6. Normally, both parties have a think about the meeting, and if they wish to proceed, the adoption is completed after the adoption agreement, payment and screening is finalised.
7. A 2 week cooling off period commences once the dog arrives.
