About Tugboat
Hi everyone. My name is Tugboat (great name huh).
My foster mum and dad have told me I am ready to find my very own people to love furever. So here's a bit about me:
I am a boy of 4 years but really petite and cute at 2.3 kgs. I think I would like to spend time with in a fairly quiet household where my people are home at lot because I just loooooove cuddles. I'm not very good with little kids (they are a bit scary
Not sure about other doggos at the moment. I have been introduced to a lovely quiet older female doggo who I am getting used to so maybe an older gal might be ok but definitely no other males or big dogs.
I have learned to walk on a lead quite nicely now and enjoy my afternoon walks where I let all of the other dogs know I am out and about.
I am a good boy with toileting as long as I have access to outside. The thing I really love the most is being with my adult hoomans, I just love kisses and cuddles and spending time snuggled on whoever's lap happens to be closest. I am very happy to sleep on/in your bed on my blanket with you. If you feel you can give me the life I deserve please let me know and we can meet up for a chat. Tugboat out
Medical notes
Tugboat has been desexed and had a dental with four teeth extracted. He has low grade patella luxation which doesn’t seem to cause him any issues at present, but we recommend keeping him on a joint support supplement such as Paws Osteocare. Please be aware his patellas might worsen with age and there is a possibility he may need surgery down the track.
Before he was desexed, it was discovered that his prostrate was enlarged, however this has reduced in size since his castrate surgery. He has had a full blood test and ultrasound, and we are confident that it was a result of him not being desexed, and shouldn’t cause any issues in the future.
He is microchipped and is up to date with his C5 vaccination, as well as flea, tick, heart worm and intestinal worm prevention.

We encourage you to provide as much detail as possible about your family and your home as this helps us make sure we match you with the most suitable dog.
This form can be found at the following address: http://www.emailmeform.com/builder/form/Kczrs885x4lq3N9u4mQhca
Due to the large volume of inquiries we are unable to respond to all applications. If you are considered suitable for the dog you have applied for you will be contacted witihin one week of applying.
Please note: we do not organise any meet and greet without a completed expression of interest form.
Our adoption process involves:

2) Arranging a meet and greet with the dogs foster carer, after which we ask you to take 24 hours to make a decision about whether you want to adopt this dog
3) A brief home visit and yard check from one of our volunteers

We ask that you pay the dogs adoption fee at the beginning of the adoption trial, however this will be refunded if for any reason the dog is not working out in your home within the four week period. We offer a four week adoption trial to make sure that you have plenty of time for your new dog to settle into your home and so we can offer you full support during this period and beyond.
