About Elizabeth and Malcolm
These adorable siblings were found as tiny pups with their mum under a house in a very remote part of the NT.
Fortunately, the "Dog Lady of Yuendumu" was able to take the pups and their mum into her care.

They received the best of care and now they are about 12 wks old they are looking for their forever homes.
There are 3 sisters (two adopted) who are all very similar and their brother is white and brown and a little bigger.
Mum is a medium-sized nice natured dog but we have no idea who dad is.
They have been in care with lots of other dogs and might? have had met a couple of cats while in care.
We have absolutely no idea what mix of breeds they may be which applies to all the dogs we rehome.
By the size of their paws, we are guessing smaller kelpie size????
They are desexed, microchipped, vaccinated and parasite treated.
The pups flew from Alice Springs to Sydney and are in foster care in Kingsford near the Uni of NSW
PLEASE NOT a new tick-borne disease arrived in Australia last year called Ehrlichiosis. These pups have come from an area of Australia where there have been cases of this disease.
As a precaution, these pups have been on a course of antibiotics
They must remain on tick treatment e.g. Bravecto or Nexguard for life a

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
