Hi my name is Cloud, I am an amazing, big, gentle giant. My foster parents say that I am a very good boy. I love to chase the ball and I am trying to learn to give the ball back. I love a good game of tug of war! I am happy outside, but happy to be inside with my humans as well. I have basic obedience (sit, down, no). I am learning that the word "Yes" means a food reward and I will look straight at you for a treat when you say it.
I am learning to not rush through the door and learning to "wait", sometimes I get so excited to be coming inside with my humans that I forget, but I will keep practising. My foster parents have taught me that my crate is a safe place and I sleep in there all night without waking up, sometimes I will even go in there on my own. I am good with my foster cat siblings, but they are dog savvy and Don't run away from me, I might chase them if they run. Speaking of chasing, I love to chase my human foster siblings, they are 8 and 10 and my foster mum says that I am the best boy because I don't jump on them!
I am great with other dogs but will probably be better with a calm female dog because I just want to play all day.
I am learning to walk right next to my foster parents on a slip lead and I am doing so good. My foster parents tried to walk me on a normal collar, but I don't know how strong I am and I pulled them, but when I am on the slip lead I walk so well and get treats.
I am a big boy, but the sweetest kindest dog who just loves to be around all humans and I love to make them happy.
I love a bath at the dog wash, but I don't like the hose very much, it scares me!
My foster parents laugh at my funny personality and when I lay in funny positions and make funny faces. I am also very talkative, I love to backchat when I am happy or upset or just when I don't get my own way.
I am looking forward to meeting my new parents who will be patient and kind and love me forever.

* Your home must have secure fencing.
* All dogs & cats in the home must be desexed and fully vaccinated.

~ ADOPTION PROCESS ~
1. Please take the time to read the dog's detailed profile thoroughly.
2. An Adoption application MUST be filled out prior to the meet and greet with the animal.
3. If successful, our adoptions co-ordinator will be in touch within 24-48 hours, if you have not received a response in this time, please check your junk folder.
4. The foster carer will then call you within 24-48 hours to set up a meet & greet, this is also the perfect time to ask any detailed information about the dog and if they are going to be a good match for you and your family.
5. The ‘Meet & Greet' - you travel to where the dog is. All potential adopters are given 6 DAYS to meet the dog. If the adopter has not met the dog in this period, then we will assume you are no longer interested. If you have a current dog and the dog you are enquiring about is over 4 months of age they must meet to ensure compatibility. Your pet must be fully vaccinated to be able to meet with our dogs in care. We strongly recommend all members of the family attend.
6. The dog MUST not be taken on the day unless PRIOR ARRANGEMENTS have been made e.g. travelling more than 5 hrs round trip. In this case we need a minimum of 3 days notice. The adoption agreement and payment must be made before collection of the dog.
7. The adopter has 24 hours to email admin@luckypaws.com.au to advise if they wish to proceed with the adoption or not. We rely on our foster carers for feedback on how the meet & greet went so each carer will advise us after the meet & greet.
8. Once you email our Adoptions Co-ordinator, we will then email you the adoption paperwork to finalise, this needs to be completed within 4-7 days depending if the dog is a puppy or adult. PLEASE CHECK YOUR JUNK FOLDER. The dog can only be officially adopted and taken home once the paperwork and adoption fee has been received, we will notify the foster carer and adopter when the dog is ready to go to their new home. The adopter has 4 days to collect the dog after the payment has been received.
9. A 10-day trial period commences once the animal has been collected from the foster carer. During the trial period, should the dog become ill, you must notify Lucky Paws via email at admin@luckypaws.com.au immediately. If the dog requires a vet visit Lucky Paws will ONLY cover vet treatment which has been authorised by a Lucky Paws admin at our partnered vet clinics. We will NOT reimburse you if you choose to go to your own vet or haven’t got approval.
10. The Adoption is finalised after 14 - 28 days and paperwork is sent via email after this period. Please note this can take up to 4 weeks pending on the microchip paperwork. If you need vaccination certificates for puppy school in the meantime, please email us.
Sorry we can’t take calls, as our rescue is run entirely by volunteers, but we endeavour to respond to your email within 24 - 48 hours. Your patience is greatly appreciated.
This pet has been adopted and found love with its new family.
