About McFly
š”š¶AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTIONš¶š”
Name: McFly
Gender: Male
Microchip: 956000010799958
Breed: Staffordshire bull terrier mix
Age: 3 years 1 months
Size: Medium
Weight: 20kg
DOB: 18/10/2018
Energy Level: Moderate
Location: Altona North Vic
Not Available for Interstate Adoption
PER: RE100115
Requirements:
1. A place to play with a ball where there is reduced risk of interacting with other dogs (big back yard or spacious local park to keep at a distance);
2. Training is a must! He is learning quickly and his manners have improved so very much in his time with us. More training is a must to make McFly the best dog he can be.
3. McFly is probably best suited to a single dog home (he really needs all of the attention) - but he has been really good with the 2 dogs he has been living with, and enjoys their company when the humans are out. So his potential new fur siblings will need to be extremely relaxed and non reactive.
4. McFly would be suited to a home where someone is home 90% of the time. He has been left at home for short periods with other dogs and all is fine, but he does cry when either of the foster parents leave.
5. McFly would not be suitable for a home with small children, he is too clumsy.
McFly is looking for his best friend. Are you going to be his best friend?
McFly is a a big silly boy who just wants to be with you. During the day, he is happy sitting near you sleeping or just generally relaxing, having your back.
McFly loves to go out and about with you. He is fine in the car but needs to be restrained because he does need to check that you are doing the driving thing correctly.
We love to chase our ball and the returning of the ball is getting better. You can always tell when McFly is tired as he shares the bringing back the ball responsibility with the thrower (you get a bit of a walk :D). He would love to chase a ball a couple of times a day for 15 mins each. That would be his ideal day!
Due to an incident earlier in his life, McFly needs to be introduced to other dogs very carefully and only after aforementioned ball chasing has entirely tuckered him out. More training and socialisation will get him used to meeting other dogs, along with the foster parents continuously trailing various methods to introduce him to other friendly puppers.
McFly also lives with 3 chickens and other than being initially interested in what they are, he has not shown much interest in them at all, and lets they walk around unharried. Similar in terms of very limited interactions with the cats in his area.
McFly is a big happy boy that really just wants to be your shadow. He has not been destructive and has got on really well with the foster carer's own dogs (It's a competition for returning the ball).
McFly has sooooo much love to give and just needs someone who can be there for him and teach him about the world.
Final comment: McFly is the shadow you have been looking for to keep you company and provide all that unconditional love. He provides so much reward for your efforts. He is a great mixture of bubbly fun and smoochy cuddles.
