About Auntie Annie
Auntie Annie is so called because she is very patient with puppies including playing with them. So she is not yet ready for the old dogs home.
Annie came into the care of Gloria, the famous "Dog Lady of Yuendumu" in the NT a long time ago

As a young mum Annie brought 2 of her pups to a work place in the community so the people called Gloria who came and collected the puppies and the next day another pup was delivered and collected.
On the third day Annie stayed with her 4th puppy but Gloria said I won't take you home with me yet in case you have any more puppies to bring to me. But the next day no more puppies so Annie went home with Gloria.
Annie was frightened of all humans other than Gloria so she would hide. Her puppies got homes and all the young and confident dogs would go of to the cities to find their forever homes.
So Annie stayed but now it is her turn to find some where special for her retirement. We estimate she is 9 - 10yrs old and in good health.
She likes to come to her new foster carer at her own time. She was good when the vet poked and prodded and coped surprising well when given a bath.
Annie has no idea what a lead is and is quite content to find a bed on the ground and make herself comfortable, not pushing for a spot on the sofa.
She obviously enjoyed the food with Gloria as she could do with loosing a few kilos.
Annie might be suitable for someone who works full time or someone working from home but she would find a busy family over whelming.
As she is not used to walking on a lead and is a chunky girl she may be too strong for someone elderly.
All Camp dogs are such a mix of breeds, each one being unique. So don't bother asking what breed we think Annie is because we don't know. You'll be able to play the guess what breed my camp dog is game, for the rest of her life.
Annie flew from Alice Springs to Sydney with the puppy Christina and is in foster care in Kingsford near the Uni of NSW.
She is de sexed, vaccinated and parasite treated.
PLEASE NOTE
Even though Annie is in good health, she has come from an area where there have been a lot of cases of Ehrlichiosis so as a precaution, Annie is on a course of antibiotics and is negative for the virus.

5. How will you cope with all these issues if you have children (how old are your children?)?
6. A dog is not just for the children so why do the parents want the puppy and how will you provide the constant supervision and boundaries needed?
