About Wobbly William
William is full of life, cheeky, loves to play with his foster pals, eat, sleep and snuggle.
At some point during his short life, he has suffered some kind of neurological issue which means he is sometimes wobbly on his back legs and holds his head in an odd way.
Hence he is called Wobbly William. He is in great condition and able to keep up with the strongest of pups but he won't be attending university.
The vets don't know why or how he acquired these issues and it is doesn't hold William back but his new family will need to accept him as he is
He is approx 4mths old and will be a medium-sized dog of unknown breed. We NEVER know the breed of the dogs we rehome.
William came into the care of the "Famous dog Lady of Yuendumu" in a very remote part of the NT and is now looking for his forever home.

If you have another dog they might find William annoying because he loves to play a lot.
William has met the foster cats and is so far more interested in their food.
He flew from Alice Springs to Sydney with some foster pals and is now in foster care in Kingsford near the Uni of NSW.
He is desexed, vaccinated, microchipped and parasite treated.
PLEASE NOTE a new tick-borne disease arrived in Australia last year called Ehrlichiosis which is common around the world including Europe and America.
William has come from an area of Australia where there have been cases of this disease.
As a precaution, William has had a course of antibiotics and must remain on tick treatment e.g. Bravecto for life.

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?

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
