About Arthur
Arthur is a gorgeous little puppy with a sweet and loving temperament. He is able to make his own fun with his toys, running around exploring, and playing with the other dogs. He travels well in the car, and adapts quickly to new environments. He is generally friendly to people of all ages, but can be alarmed by new people occasionally. In these instances he just needs reassurance, pats and treats to settle and make friends. In his foster home he has also met horses, cows and alpacas which he found quite alarming initially, but has now adapted to and co-exists peacefully with the farm animals. He is popular with other dogs who will play with him and cuddle up with him, which he loves.
Arthur comes from a remote community in the NT, where he was taken in as an eight week puppy by a worker in the town. She cared for him until he was able to fly to SA and come into foster care, and is so excited that he is now going to find his forever home. We all think he is a very deserving little pup - just so easy to care for and cooperative and cuddly.
Arthur needs a home with plenty of stimulation. He just loves the family environment, loves his walks, but also is a relaxed little boy. We can see that he is going to grow up into a great family dog, but at the same time, he does need to be carefully exposed to new environments and helped to develop, and a person or persons who will put the time and effort into growing him up into his best self.
Medical notes
Arthur had an eye injury as a very small puppy and has lost the sight in his left eye. It looks a different from his right eye but causes him no problems.
Because Arthur comes from the Northern Territory, he has been tested for Erlichea (E. Canus). He is clinically well with no symptoms. Results are pending, but he has been commenced on treatment which involves a month of twice daily antibiotics. This treatment can be discontinued if his results are returned negative.
