Socks ~ Bull Arab X Puppy(On Trial 14/1/22)

Socks is a beautiful and affectionate Bull Arab X Puppy who will grow to be quite big!. His age was estimated at approx 10 weeks old on 1st Jan 2022. He is currently in care with his sister and until recently was in a litter of 5 healthy pups.

Socks has settled in quickly to his foster home, instantly sleeping through the night in his crate or kennel. He already knows how to sit for treats, usually makes it to the grass for toilet training and is happily sharing space alongside his sister for meals. He is quickly learning to fetch and how to walk on a loose lead. He loves chewing his squeaky toys and enjoys running and rumbling around with his sister. He would likely benefit from a family with an older tolerant / calm dog for company and to show him how to be the best behaved boy he can be.

All puppies have sharp little teeth, and this pup (combined with his adult size) will be best suited to older or dog savvy children, respectful of the dog’s need for quiet safe spaces. Consistent training will be needed to redirect his bites and energy to his toys. A new family would need to show a strong commitment to ongoing training and socialisation with other dogs.

Someone home most of the day is essential in the early days of his training and settling in. Socks will need to be welcome inside with his people to be part of the family. He is learning quickly to not jump up on beds or lounges.

Please do not apply if you: 1. Live in an apartment or townhouse with no back yard. 2. Have small or no fences (rural fencing not considered secure enough for this dog) 3. All family members are away most of the day. 4. Have not considered that a puppy is a 10-15 year commitment and a new family member.

We always recommend puppy training classes to give your new family member the best start in life. All puppies will need plenty of affection, exercise, and training to ensure proper boundaries and routines are established. This will ensure that you get the best family member/friend possible.

As these puppies are not yet desexed, they are only available for adoption in Newcastle and surrounds as they will need to be returned to our local vet for desexing when 5-6 months old. They are not available for interstate or long distance adoption.

Socks is currently in foster care in Newcastle NSW. His adoption fee is $700 which includes all up to date vet work, ie vaccination, microchipping, flea / worming treatments and desexing.
