About Cinderella
Cinderella is a little lady who came into the care of the famous "Dog Lady of Yuendumu" in a remote community in the NT.
https://www.facebook.com/aussiedesertdogs
She came into care because there were too many dogs in the family's home who were worried for her safety.
She had been well cared for which was shown by being very particular about her food. Roast chicken is a favorite.
Cinderella determinedly found a spot each night on her carers bed, which she will expect in her forever home.
To stay away from the other dogs she would sit in a box on a high spot in the kitchen and wait for her breakfast.
So Cinderella is a little Queen.
Unfortunately, another dog recently bit Cinderella around her left eye.
There may be some long-term damage that little can repair but she does not appear to be in discomfort and is still a happy, cuddly little lady.
She is approx 5yrs old with skinny legs and a lot of fur.
We have absolutely no idea of her breed which applies to all the dogs we rehome.
She could be a mix of many breeds and therefore would not suit someone with allergies.
She has previously had puppies that were rehomed.
Cinderella has met cats in foster care of which she is not too interested.
She flew from Alice Springs to Sydney and is in foster care in Kingsford near UNSW
Cinderella is microchipped, vaccinated, parasite treated, and desexed.
As Cinderella has coped with many busy homes we are now looking for a quiet home for Cinderella.
Either a single person or a couple who are either retired or working at home permanently and don't have young children or other dogs
However, Cinderella needs a home where she will be treated like a dog and not a pocket pet
constantly picked up but allowed to learn to be comfortable on a lead having new adventures.
Adoption details
WHEN APPLYING PLEASE PROVIDE ANSWERS TO ALL OF THE QUESTIONS BELOW.
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.
From what date do you want to adopt?
We cannot hold dogs as space in foster care is needed for other dogs.
Thank you
