About Zoey
Zoey was living with an elderly lady in a remote indigenous community in the NT who loved her dearly.
Unfortunately, Zoey was attacked by other unruly dogs in the family so it was decided it was best for Zoey to find a home outside of the community.
So Zoey went into the care of the famous "Dog Lady of Yuendumu"

Zoey is approx 4yrs old and we have no idea of her breed. She is a very small dog.
Zoey is very affectionate and likes people but she needs a home where she will be treated like a dog and not a baby.
This includes not being picked up all the time which may aggravate her anxiety so she is not suitable for a home with children.
Zoey needs to be an only dog and have a home that will invest in professional training.
She is fine with the dogs in her foster home but she has responded defensively to other dogs visiting.
Zoey needs to learn to walk on the lead and her toileting is unpredictable which needs patience.
Zoey has never been alone so cannot be left alone for long hours. She needs to be gently eased into spending time alone.
Zoey flew from Alice Springs to Sydney and is in foster care in Kingsford near the Uni of NSW.
Zoey is microchipped, vaccinated, and parasite treated
PLEASE NOTE.
Zoey has come from an area of the NT where there have been cases of Ehrlichiosis a tickborne disease introduced to Australia last year. (This is a reportable disease)
Zoey's blood test indicated that she has been in contact with the disease.
She has had a course of antibiotics as prevention and is in very good health.
Because Ehrlichiosis is a reportable disease the District vets of the Dept of Primary Industries will want to contact Zoey's new owners, to, in particular, make sure she remains on Tick Prevention.

Adoption details
WHEN APPLYING PLEASE PROVIDE ANSWERS TO ALL OF THE QUESTIONS BELOW OR WE CANNOT CONSIDER YOUR INQUIRY.
THANK YOU
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
