About Duchess
Hi, I'm Dutchess and I'm looking for a new family to call my own.
AS PER SERVICE NSW GUIDELINES, SHOALHAVEN CITY COUNCIL WILL ONLY ADOPTIONS TO RESIDENTS IN OUR LGA WHILE LOCKDOWNS ARE IN PLACE
APPLICATION PROCESS APPLIES FOR DUCHESS
PLEASE COMPLETE THE BELOW APPLICATION FORM
https://forms.gle/9foVMZyxSwckiu5q7
NOTE: You are unable to meet Duchess until/unless you have been notified that you are a successful applicant. An adoption cannot be approved unless you are able to come to the shelter to meet Duchess in person and bring any dogs you currently have with you.
What I need in my new home:
• Daily walks, trips to the park or beach, playtime in the backyard
• A doggy playmate would be great if not then lots of socialisation
• Further training with basic doggie manners
• To be allowed inside with my family
• I have lots of energy so an active family is a must
• Secure Fencing (6ft Colorbond or equivalent)
• Lots of toys and mental stimulation
• A diet of good quality dry food to help keep my teeth clean
• Lots of love and attention
• No young children as when I am excited, I get very bouncy and mouthy, older children who will be involved with my training should be ok.
• Being a social and playful pupper I would love to go to doggy daycare
Things that I don't want in my new home:
• Cats, rabbits, guinea pigs & livestock
• To be left alone in the backyard without any interaction
• Not to be allowed inside with my family
• Never to go on a walk or rides in the car
• Small children due to being mouthy & bounce
My best features:
• LOVE people
• Very playful
• Housetrained
• I love attention and having snuggles with my humans
• Wiggle butt
Where I need to improve / Training required
• I can be strong on the lead - training and walking me in a halti or harness may stop this.
• I will require full basic training as I've had no training experience yet
• I am known to be a digger, so I will require a very secure yard where I won’t have the opportunity to dig out.
