About Cloud
Hi my name is Cloud, a handsome cream kelpie with a whole lot of love to give and legs like a super model.
I spent the first two years of my life on a farm in outback Queensland and missed out on a lot of handling and socialising. So new situations and new people can overwhelm me, but once I feel comfortable my true snuggle bug personality comes out and I want to be right up in your grill giving cuddles and kisses.
I am a fast learner and I aim to please my people, especially if it will earn me a pat or a treat. I am very gentle and have learnt to sit, wait for my dinner and my recall is improving every day. As I can get frightened in overwhelming situations I will need someone who is patient and will keep me on leash or a long line in new situations incase I get a fright and want to run and hide. I have also done some sheep herding and would love to continue to do this, although my sensitive nature would require someone very patient if I was to be a full time worker
I am in care with other dogs and love to play and wrestle, although dominant male dogs can be a bit overwhelming for me. As I came into care severely under weight, I can be a bit protective of my food around other dogs as I get worried I might end up going without again but I am improving every single day and I never ever growl at my humans around food.
I would suit a family with another female dog and a family that has experience with dogs to continue me in the right path. As I can get a bit frightened of loud noises or erratic behaviour I would ideally suit a family with adults or older kids so I can continue to grow in confidence.
If you pick me I will supply you with endless puppy dog love as I truly am such a loving and gentle boy.

Adoption details
To apply to adopt a dog from Dogs4Jobs, you must firstly complete our adoptions application form in full at http://dogs4jobs.com.au/adoption-form/.
You can also write out your answers and email them to dogs@dogs4jobs.com.au
*Please note, due to the high volume of applications received, we will not respond to Petrescue chat messages, or enquiries to adopt a dog. You must complete our adoptions form to be considered for the dog or pup, and we will respond to this form via our email.
We will then request to complete a yard check, or for you to send in photos of your yard showing the fencing, space, shelter and any hazards etc, to confirm it is safe and secure, as well as adequate space for a working breed dog.
Following this, we will then put you in touch with the dog/s foster carer/s that you are interested in, to chat further over the phone, about whether the dog is a good fit for your family, and vice versa. We are searching for the perfect match for each dog and their needs. A meet and greet can be arranged if both parties wish to proceed, and we also offer interstate adoption on all of our dogs.
This pet has been adopted and found love with its new family.
