Hiya, the name is Arj. I came in from a rural pound after my owner abandoned me there. I am lucky enough to have went to a great pound that actively helps rehome dogs like me into rescues! Since coming into care I have been nothing but exceptional. Despite my estimated breed mix, I am small - I am almost fully grown, and only knee height! I am 19kg. A healthy, happy and lanky boy with the biggest heart you could wish for!
I am a well mannered, happy go lucky guy. I love life and all who are around me - both human and fur friends. I have a lot of love to give and am really looking forward to what lies ahead with my future family. I currently live with a young family and get along great with their small child. I have also met toddlers and will quietly lay with them and am very conscious to not bump. I love other dogs, and sleep outside at night in a kennel, under the patio. I know not to come inside (unfortunately my carer's landlord is very strict dogs outside only!) and even when my carer is walking through, I know now not to come in. I am used to a full time working dad, and part time working mum and am happy being at home just with the other dog/s. I have been at home when there was a big BBQ on with a fire pit too, and I managed the noise and excitement very well, and remembered my manners. I like the social side but am not going to jump up onto the table etc- I'm the perfect sidekick.
I currently live behind six foot fencing, so we aren't sure how I would go with shorter fencing - but I can be fence tested if you are interested but have a low fence. I love to go for car rides, and have even been in the back of a ute (with a safe harness!) which was a lot of fun. I know how to sit, wait, shake, and also know to sit and wait for food without being asked. I don't have any known phobias/fears, I am a very happy and curious but confident boy. My perfect home has another dog, a good fence and can walk me or take me out a few times a week for a run. I love to sniff and roll and play. I have met cats and would live well with them; I just follow them around, curious what they're up to.
If you think I would fit into your family well please contact my rescue today and lets meet! A x

Adoption details
Before applying, please consider and finalise the following:
- Real estate approval
- Fence requirements
- Outside shelter areas
- Other resident pets fully vaccinated and preferably desexed
- The rescue pet's dietary requirements eg large breed vs medium breed, age
Once you are ready to adopt, please complete the OTC Adoption Application questionnaire below. This is not a contract or agreement of any kind, just an expression of interest in the animal. We will not authorise meets unless this has been completed and only approved applicants may meet the animal. Once you are approved and have submitted all relevant information, we will organise for you to meet the pet at your home, or in a public place. If you have other pets they must be at the meet. You may be required to travel to the pet; we infrequently have admins available to drive extensive distance and it also says a lot if someone is able yet unwilling to come to the animal they have applied for. If for example you cannot drive, feel free to talk with us about possibility of travel to you.
At the meet if you and the pet get along you have the option of either taking the pet on the spot (in exchange for signed contract and the full adoption fee paid upfront) or placing the pet on hold for up to 2 days with a $100 non-refundable holding deposit. This deposit is then taken off the original adoption fee should you proceed with the adoption. Should you place a hold, we will not proceed other applicants until you have removed your hold or adopted the animal.
*PLEASE NOTE we do not hold pets without a non-refundable holding deposit of $100. If you are unwilling to put a deposit on the pet, we will continue to advertise and speak with other potential adopters, so you may miss out. We have had to make the deposit is non refundable to avoid time-wasters. The $100 holding deposit is then subtracted from the outstanding adoption fee, which is to be paid at collection of the pet. Eg if full adoption fee is $450, and you place a $100 holding fee on the animal- the day you collect the pet you will sign an adoption contract and pay the remaining $350 fee of which $50 is non-refundable.
On commencement of the trial period, OTC will send you a copy of your signed contract, the vaccination cards, desexing certificate and microchip number implant details. You will also be provided with 7 days worth of food, as well as what brand and type of food it is, so that you may change their diet slowly, or purchase more, if needed.
All animals are adopted out with vaccinations up to date; if for example you are adopting a young animal it may not have had a full protocol yet due to age- so any vaccinations due from date of adoption are the ethical and financial responsibility of the adopter. During the trial period, should the pet become ill, you must present it to the OTC-approved vet clinic in your area and OTC will cover any treatment needed.
So. Ready to roll? Then fill out the attached short form, and we will be in contact to successful applicants asap. Feel free to follow us up via Facebook page inbox.
