About Penny
Penny is simply all puppy, full of life, affectionate, cuddly and interested in everything.
Someone working in a very remote community in the far nth of SA knew of the work of Gloria the famous "Dog Lady of Yuendumu" in the NT. So she asked for our help to find a home for a puppy she had found.
So Penny has already travelled from SA to Alice Springs in the NT from where she took a flight to Sydney to find her forever home.
Penny is super cute and has been in care with dogs of all ages. She has met one of the foster cats and is keen to play, the cat isn't .
All Camp dogs are such a mix of breeds, each one being unique. So don't bother asking what breed we think she 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.
We estimate she is about 3 - 4 mths old and will be be on the smaller side of medium
She is in care in Kingsford near the Uni of NSW
She is de sexed, vaccinated, chipped and parasite treated.
PLEASE NOTE
Even though Penny is in excellent health, she has come from an area where there have been a lot of cases of Ehrlichiosis. Her test was negative and she is also receiving a course of antibiotics as a precaution.

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?
