About Shadow
SHADOW is a very cuddly and affectionate black & white pup, born on or around 10 August 2021. He is one of a litter of six, which we've called The Nature Litter.
An Aussie boy through and through, Shadow is predominantly kelpie with dollops of border collie and stumpy tail cattle dog. As a nod to his stumpy tail heritage, he has a naturally short tail, about 5 cms long. It's very cute!
Like all kelpies, Shadow is super sweet, highly intelligent, alert and very trainable. When he first arrived in care, he was a little subdued, as you can see from the photos, but now that he's settled in, he's a typical active and playful puppy.
Kelpies can make great family pets, loyal companions and excellent watchdogs. They have an exceptionally high IQ and may get into mischief if left to their own devices. They require plenty of exercise, and will become bored if stuck in a backyard for lengthy periods without stimulation or company.
The secret to bringing the best out in a kelpie mix is to keep him occupied and well loved.
A kelpie's greatest joy is the love and attention of an active owner or family, while his greatest disappointment is inactivity and lack of attention.
Kelpies are eager to please and extremely loyal. Wherever their humans are, that's where they'll be too - whether that's out in a boat, in the back of a car, going for a walk, training for agility competitions or herding, or just watching television in the evening.
To be happy and content, Shadow will need plenty of vigorous daily exercise and play. Secure fencing is a must.
If you are interested in meeting Shadow and can offer him a suitable, safe and loving forever home, PLEASE COMPLETE THE ONLINE ADOPTION APPLICATION at https://southerndownsark.com.au/apply-to-adopt/ and one of our volunteers will be in touch.
Shadow's adoption fee is $595 and at the point of adoption he will be desexed, vaccinated and microchipped.
Applicants must be prepared to travel to Warwick, Queensland to meet Shadow.
