PLEASE NOTE: Dog Rescue Newcastle provide individual listings specific to each foster dog that comes through our doors. Each listing outlines the specific requirements, and home that we are looking for.

Dog Rescue Newcastle reserve the right to not reply to unsuitable applicants and will not tolerate bullying, intimidation or harassment of our volunteers.

Meet Phantom, a gorgeous 9 week old boxer x staffy puppy. Phantom is a big puppy with a beautiful gentle nature. He is a happy, healthy boy who is growing and learning very quickly. He is very playful and loves a good wrestle with his brother. He is an energetic boy who loves to go out and play with his much bigger foster brothers.

He loves exploring in the garden, snuffling in the grass and playing with his little brother. He currently enjoys multiple naps during the day and will find a comfy spot anywhere to rest his eyes.

Phantom is a fast learner and has learnt very quickly to sit and wait for his food. Being a pup he can be a little jumpy and mouthy, and therefore would be best suited to a family with children over 10 years old.

Phantom will grow into a big dog (look at the size of those paws!), so please consider your circumstances both now and in the long term and do some research on what is involved in caring for, living with and training large dogs prior to submitting an application.

Phantom would love to have another adult dog for company who he can learn from, or will need a family with someone home more often than not.

Phantom loves his outside environment so please NO apartments or courtyard applications as he will be a larger dog so will need plenty of space. He will need good 5-6 foot fencing with no small gaps. NO Rural fencing will be considered.

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.

Phantom needs to be welcomed inside when people are home, and to sleep inside at least until fully grown. He will be a wonderful family dog but may not be suitable for children under 10 years of age.

As Phantom is not yet desexed, he is only available for adoption to Newcastle, Lake Macquarie, Central Coast and Port Stephens because he will need to be returned to a local vet for desexing when he is approximately 5/6 months old. Please NO out of area applications.
