About Dinky
G’day! My name is Dinky and I’m a 1.5 year old kelpie mix. I have enthusiasm for life and ‘fun’ is my middle name!
I tried out for Corrective Services and did an amazing job but just did not make it all the way to the end! My handlers loved me and my foster mum can see why! I love hanging out with my humans and I am happy to chillax when I need too BUT if there is something fun to do or someone to hoon around with, I am ALL IN! I don't always know when to stop, so my new home needs to provide me with firm boundaries so I don't get over excited and silly.
Aside from running around and having fun, I also love to roll in anything that smells 'good' (if ya know what I mean!) I am a bit of a larrikin and would be best suited to a farm/acreage where my antics won't offend anyone! Although fun is my middle name, I also love a cuddle and smooching up to whoever is available - I'm not picky! I would love a doggy playmate in my new home but they will need to be able to tolerate my boisterous play. I am dog social and get along well with all my foster siblings, big and small. I am also well behaved around livestock although I have not met any cats.
I have been learning my human manners while in foster care – I am learning that the kitchen counter is not a free for all and I will sit like a prince to get a pat. I know to sit, wait for my food and only eat when I am told it’s ok. I sleep quietly in my crate all night and I will happily lay at foster mums feet while she works. I know to do my business outside and I am working on my lead manners. My new home will need to continue my training to suit their lifestyle so I can be the best boy I can be.
I am excited to find my forever home. A family with older kids and plenty of space, or someone who will be my best mate and take me everywhere would suit me best as long as they understand the mental and physical stimulation needs of my breed and are committed to my ongoing training. I need a home with an older doggy sibling who is confident and will be able to tolerate my outgoing and playful nature. Most of all I’d like a family who will love me and include me in their lives.

Love and licks,
