About Blitzen
I’m Blitzen and this is my story:
A very teeny tiny bull mastiff in a 2.5kg chihuahua body. Surely that’s incorrect, when I look in the mirror I’m huge.
I used to live with another 7 dogs and had to be loud to be heard (because I’m so tiny I can’t be seen easily).
I’m such a good boy who was very sensitive to noises and new things around me when I first got to my foster home so I was letting off a little ‘bok bok’ bark. (Foster mum says it’s the cutest thing you’ve ever heard). She says that once I settled in it stopped and I only do it occasionally when a bird dares to fly in my yard or the postie comes. My home now is full of kookaburras so I’m getting used to them fast as they just ‘laugh’ at me.
Don’t mistake my bark for a chicken, you are definitely not adopting a bird.
I love to follow you around and sit curled up in your arms when you’re in a chair, when you go to bed I will be sure to jump right in there with you and bury myself under the covers, if you deign to go to the toilet without me I’ll be right behind you.
Foster mum notes:
There is nothing wrong with this little boy, he’s perfection at it’s finest and would suit a ‘retired’ or ‘at home a lot’ person/family, he’s learned sit and getting there with ‘stay’.
He doesn’t mind other dogs and has just started to play/zoom with his foster brother but would do just fine on his own as long as he has human company.
Blitzen is no trouble at all, he’s just tiny so you have to be careful not to stand on him or he lets out a little ‘bok bok’.
He’s toilet trained, sleeps all night (unless an expected noise wakes him) and can use a doggy door with ease.
King of the world in a Prince’s body!! That’s Blitzy boy to a tee!!

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:

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.
