About Purple
Purple is full of life, playful, and affectionate.
All the wonderful qualities of a happy, healthy pup.
Purple comes from a litter of 6 pups that came into the care of the famous "Dog lady of Yuendumu" a remote community in the NT with their mum which tiny pups.

Mum has gone back to her home, 2 pups have homes in the community, and 4 came to Sydney to find their forever homes.
They are approx 5 - 6 mths old, very healthy pups of unknown breed. We don't know their breed, we never do.
We guess/estimate they will be medium-sized dogs perhaps eventually 20kg, this is only a guess????
Purple flew from Alice Springs to Sydney and is in foster care in Kingsford near the Uni of NSW
She Microchipped, desexed, vaccinated and parasite treated.
PLEASE NOTE
Purple has come from an area of the NT where there have been cases of Ehrlichiosis a tick-borne disease introduced to Australia last year. (This is a reportable disease)
We are testing all the dogs coming from the NT; Even though Purple tested negative for Ehrlichiosis, District Vets from the Dept of Primary Industries would want to contact Purple's new owners, in particular, to make sure she remains on Tick Prevention.

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
