Bindi & Buffy~GSD X ~ On Trial 23/10/20

Currently inviting expressions of interest for our latest gorgeous bunch of pups available for adoption separately (we
have more siblings with other carers).

We are Bindi and Buffy, 7wk old German Shepherd x Cattle dog puppies and will be
looking for our forever homes shortly. As we’re still quite young, we get to play and
rough and tumble in our foster home for a few more weeks. For this reason, our
foster mum is only taking expressions of interest at this stage until we are ready to
go to our new homes (separately, not together).

We will grow up to be medium to large dogs, and will need to attend puppy training
classes and continued obedience training due to our size and breed. We are at the
puppy stage where we are biting a lot and chewing things so we need consistency in
our training. We will also need a family that understand we will need a lot of exercise
and mental stimulation or we will get bored.

We are very snuggly puppies who love our humans and need to go to a home
where we are welcomed inside. It would be great if someone worked part time in the
household, particularly if there isn’t another dog to hang out with. Secure 5-6ft
fencing will be needed with no small gaps, unfortunately rural fencing (eg: mesh or
wire) is not suitable.

Before applying for one of us, I have some questions for you to consider:
-Have you thought about loving and caring for me for the next 12-15 years - maybe
even longer ?
-I am a furever dog not just a COVID dog
-I won’t be a tiny puppy for long and will get up to mischief as I become a teenager.
Are you ready for that?
-Have you thought about my extra puppy meals throughout the day?
-Will somebody be home more often than not to keep me socialised?
-I will most likely be a large adult so do you have solid and tall fencing (5-6 foot) to
keep me safe?
-I won’t suit an apartment , courtyards or a small yard. I need a medium to large yard
to play and rumble in!
-Have you thought about my ongoing physical training and mental stimulation
(enrichment games) so that I don't get bored and destructive?
-Will I have access to inside at all times to ensure that I am a part of your family?
I'm watching and learning from you from the moment I open my eyes. Being inside
means that I will learn what leads to praise and reward and what doesn't. Being
under supervision also means I learn boundaries (crucial as I grow older) and means
I am less likely to develop nuisance behaviours due to boredom.

To know more about us, please email my foster mum Sarah at
sarahsrescues@gmail.com . Bindi and Buffy are in the Lake Macquarie area, NSW
(south of Newcastle). You can also fill out the adoption questionnaire

As we are not yet desexed, we are only available for adoption to Newcastle, Lake
Macquarie, Central Coast and Port Stephens areas as I will need to be returned to
our vet for desexing when I am approximately 5 months old. I am NOT available for
long distance or interstate adoption.
Our adoption fee is $600 each, which covers my desexing, vaccination, microchipping, flea
and worming treatments. You can see all of our available dogs at
