About Shadow ~ 5mo Border Collie X(Rev Apps 25.6.21)
Shadow is a loving and affectionate 5 month old kelpie x border collie. He is a beautiful, happy, healthy boy who loves affection and attention.
Shadow loves to interact and be social with his foster family and likes to follow them around to see what they are doing – he really lives up to his name! He loves to explore his environment and is always ready to play. After he has burnt off some steam, he loves a good snuggle on the lounge. He is a very affectionate boy.
Shadow is a very smart boy who is responding well to training. He is toilet trained with just the occasional accident. He sleeps through the night without needing to go out. He sits and shakes before meals and loves to chase a ball. He responds well to both food and attention.
Shadow is going to be a medium-sized dog and full of energy so his forever home will need to be equipped to handle the energy level of a working breed and understand that stimulation is extremely important to keep this boy from getting into too much mischief. He will need a family who are committed to his ongoing training.
Shadow is very friendly with other dogs and would be happy with a fur sibling, however he would be okay as an only dog if there was someone home most of the time. He is not tested with cats or pocket pets. Shadow is currently sleeping inside at night and playing outside during the day, he must always be allowed inside his new home. Shadow needs a yard with 6ft fencing and no gaps that a puppy could squeeze through.
As Shadow is not yet desexed, he is only available for adoption to Newcastle, Lake Macquarie, Central coast and Port Stephens as he will need to be returned to our vets for desexing when he is approximately 5 months old. Unfortunately this means we will not allow interstate or out of area adoption.
For more information or to meet Shadow, please contact Sarah at sarahsrescues@gmail.com . Shadow is in Bonnells Bay, NSW (south of Newcastle). You can also fill out the adoption questionnaire here https://tinyurl.com/drnadopt
Shadow's adoption fee is $600 each, which cover desexing, vaccination, microchipping, flea and worming treatments.
