About Riggs - Kelpie Dingo Mix
Hi my name is Riggs, I'm a quiet, gentle boy who loves ear scratches, long walks and other dogs.
I've lived with kids in the past and would make a great addition to an active family with lots of love to give. Kids over 10 would be best though as I am an energetic, boisterous boy and love to jump and run and wouldn't want to bowl over your little ones.
I'm great with most other dogs, but like to be introduced first and can be a bit overwhelmed in busy places like dog parks. I'd prefer bush walks or perhaps a splash at the beach where I can sniff and explore! My new home could have a dog friend for me (medium or large), or if you're home a lot I'd also be fine as an only dog.
I'm house-trained and happy sleeping indoors or outside in a warm kennel.
I'm good in the car and the shelter volunteers say I'm a real gentleman and walk super well on a lead, I also know how to sit if you have a treat for me.
I do sometimes like to chase small animals, so a home without livestock cats, birds or small animals (who I might mistake for a snack) is a must as well as secure 1.8m fences that are not climbable (made of palings or colourbond).
Riggs is a dingo kelpie mix and needs secure 1.8m fencing OR a dog enclosure.

Dingo Adoption:
1. Send an email inquiry with your name and contact details outlining your current living situation, pets and family members and anything else you think might be relevant, particularly what your house and yard are like. Remember our dingoes typically require an enclosure or modified fencing.
2. We will email you back adoption information and an application form to fill out and return to us.
3. If your application is approved- Come along to meet us and our dingoes at our Goulburn shelter or their foster carers' home and let us find the right furry family member for you. We can also come to you. We are happy to meet new prospective owners anywhere in NSW or the ACT.
4. Before you can pick up your new dingo you will also need to under a house/yard check and pay your adoption fee. No animals are rehomed unless their adoption fee is paid in full and a yard check has been completed.
