About Hope
Little Hope came into the care of the famous "Dog Lady of Yuendumu" as a tiny baby with her eyes and ears closed last December.

Gloria then fed and cared for her around the clock until eventually Hope was introduced to the other dogs in care. Fellow Desert Dog, Fluffy took her in immediately and started cleaning and mothering her.
In mid-December, Gloria noticed that Hope was drinking an excessive amount of water so she was flown to Darwin for treatment and to investigate the cause of the problem. The vet came to the conclusion that she had all the symptoms of diabetes insipidus.
After a month of being cared for at the vet clinic, Hope is clear of symptoms, free of medication, and ready to find her forever family.
Although Hope is currently healthy, she will need an owner who understands that symptoms may present later in her life and be willing to take on the responsibility of her condition.
Hope flew from Darwin to Sydney and is in foster care in Kingsford.
She is full of life, extremely cuddly, intelligent and very playful
She looks like she might have some staffy in her DNA but we can only guess at types of the breed with all the dogs that we rehome.
Hope is desexed, vaccinated and parasite treated.
Adoption details
WHEN APPLYING PLEASE PROVIDE ANSWERS TO ALL OF THE QUESTIONS BELOW.
1. Have you had a dog before is so, when, size, and age? (not if you have looked after someone else's dog)
2. Who makes up your home, how old are they, what is their relationship to the applicant, and are they all ready to come to a meet and greet if this is offered?
3 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?
4 If you want a puppy how will you deal with the work involved i.e. toilet training, chewing, mouthing - those sharp teeth - jumping up, going to puppy classes?
5. How will you cope with all these issues if you have children (how old are your children?)?
6. A dog is not just for the children so why do the parents want the puppy and how will you provide the constant supervision and boundaries needed?
7 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?
8 If necessary how will you seek additional one on one training for you and your dog?
9 Where will the dog sleep at night?
10 How will you provide for any veterinary costs?
11. How will you cope with behavior issues should they arise?
12 If you rent have you obtained written approval for a dog?
13 If you own an apartment have you obtained written approval from the body corporate?
14 We cannot provide any more information about the eventual size or breed of the dog. Have you considered this?
15 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. So are you ready now?
We cannot hold dogs as space in foster care is needed for other dogs.
Thank you
