About Paddy
This stunning little fella attaches vey strongly to his humans. With his loyal, cooperative nature, he’s very tuned in and keen to please. He has soaked up the training that he’s had, and is very obedient with excellent recall. Paddy is great on the lead, but is also trustworthy off lead - having a look around but never straying too far. At 15kg, he’s a small medium dog and can be intimidated by large boisterous dogs. Having said that, in care he has been with 9 dogs aged from 3 to 16 years. While this is not his preferred situation, he has been able to make doggy friends and find his niche. He’s been especially good with the puppies in care. Ideally, Paddy would love a quiet, controlled environment with a human of his own to snuggle up to and be their faithful companion.
Paddy was an unclaimed stray in Tennant Creek and came to us for rehoming when he was barely a year old. He was adopted into a family with a couple of kids and was very loved and well cared for by mum, dad and one of the children. Unfortunately, the older boy was very heavy-handed with him and to the family’s great sorrow, they had to let him come back to us for his own safety and well-being. He’s had six months back in the bush and has regained his mojo and is now ready to move on. We and his former family would love nothing better than to see Paddy with someone who can love and appreciate him as he deserves.
Our rescue and rehabilitation work takes place in Central Australia, but because of the scarcity of local adopters, our rehoming operation is in South Australia. Paddy’s adoption fee includes crate hire, transport by road from Elliott to Alice Springs and a direct flight from Alice Springs to Adelaide. He is currently in foster care in Elliott.
Medical notes
He has been heart worm tested and recently had his annual heart worm prevention needle.
