About Puppa
WE ARE NOT TAKING ANY MORE INQUIRES FOR PUPPA AT THE MOMENT.
THANK YOU.
Puppa is a big, calm, affectionate boy seeking his forever family.
Puppa came into care with the "dog lady of Yuendumu" in the NT (link below)
Puppa is a gentle and big boy (could lose a couple of kilos) who needs time to learn about the completely new environment in the city and suburbia.
He is starting to learn to walk on the lead, which he is doing gently and had visit to a busy coffee shop.
He responds extremely well to positive reinforcement and affection.
Puppa is great with dogs of all ages and sizes.
He has met a couple of cats and intimidated so we don't think there would be issues with a home with cats.
He may suit a home with children.
We have no idea of Puppa's breed. He is a tall boy and weighs about 40kgs.
Puppa flew from Alice Springs to Sydney and is in foster care in Kingsford.
He is desexed, vaccinated and parasite treated.
Adoption details
WE CAN ONLY RESPOND TO ENQUIRES WITH BRIEF TO THE POINT ANSWERS TO ALL THE QUESTIONS BELOW.
Have you had a dog before is so, when, size, and age? (not if you have looked after someone else's dog)
Have both the applicant and their partner, extended family, housemates, parents discussed having a dog, and are they "on the same page"?
Most dogs, puppies, and young cannot be left alone for long hrs e.g more than 4hrs at a time. How will you deal with this issue?
If you want a puppy have you seriously considered the work involved i.e. toilet training, chewing, mouthing - those sharp teeth - jumping up, going to puppy classes?
Have you considered coping with all these issues when you have children (how old are your children?)?
A dog is not just for the children. The parents/caregivers must want the puppy and realise the constant supervision and boundaries needed.
Have you considered that a dog or a puppy cannot immediately be taken to a dog park or cafe and need to slowly understand all the new sights, sounds, people, dogs etc of their new environment?
Are you prepared to seek additional one on one training for you and your dog, if necessary?
Have you considered where the dog will sleep at night?
Have you considered any veterinary costs?
Have you considered how to cope with behavior issues should they arise?
If you rent have you obtained written approval for a dog?
If you own an apartment have you obtained written approval from the body corporate?
Have you puppy-proofed your home and bought all the things you feel you will need?
Have you considered that we never know the breed or eventual size of a puppy?
If you are offered a meet and greet and it is felt by all that the dog or pup is a good fit for your family, we expect you to be ready to take the dog home/adopt at the time.
We cannot hold dogs as space in foster care is needed for other dogs.
Thank you
