Hi! I’m Dora and I’m looking for a new family to call my own.

APPLICATION PROCESS APPLIES FOR DORA
PLEASE COMPLETE THE BELOW APPLICATION FORM
https://forms.gle/m3t8s3mLZBAyYqei9

The application process can take up to 2 weeks so please allow this much time for us to contact you regarding whether you have been successful or not. If you have made it through the first round, we may contact you by phone for more information.

NOTE: You are unable to meet Dora until/unless you have been notified that you are a successful applicant. An adoption cannot be approved unless you are able to come to the shelter to meet Dora in person and bring any dogs you currently have with you.

What I need in my new home:
•Daily walks, trips to the park or beach, playtime in the backyard
•Further training with basic doggie manners
•To be allowed inside with my family
•I appeared scared of cats when meeting them at the shelter however once my confidence around them grows I might be more inquisitive. If going to a home with a cat they must be dog savvy, and we must be introduced slowly.
•I like both friendly male and female dogs
•Secure Fencing (6ft Colorbond or equivalent)
•Lots of toys and mental stimulation
•A diet of good quality dry food to help keep my teeth clean
•Lots of love and attention
•Being a social and playful pupper I would love to go to doggy daycare
•I have lots of energy, so an active family is necessary
• I am a clever, young, and active doggo - I would be great for dog training, trick training, agility etc.
•Doggy daycare and group socialization classes would be highly beneficial for me.
•I LOVE other dogs but I’m a very energetic and playful dog, so I need a doggy playmate who will match my energy levels and playfulness.
•SOCIALISATION is as important as training a puppy. Taking me to lots of different places, meeting lots of people (children, men, woman etc.) and meeting lots of dogs and other animals will ensure I grow into a social and well-adjusted dog.
•TRAINING TRAINING TRAINING. It's ESSENTIAL I receive training in all aspects of my life so I can be the best dog I can be when I'm older.
•Being a young puppy, I will adapt & learn easily, how I mature will only reflect you & my upbringing

Things that I don’t want in my new home:
•To be left alone in the backyard without any interaction
•Not to be allowed inside with my family
•Never to go on a walk or rides in the car

My best features:
•Very playful
•Wiggle butt
•Highly food motivated
•Gentle & placid
•I love attention and having snuggles with my humans
•Happy to hang out with other dogs
•Social butterfly
•I am clever and eager to learn so would love a family who will teach me some cool tricks.
•I love attention, hugs, kisses & head scratches
•Love to snooze on the couch
•I walk well on lead for a young doggo but having daily walks should help me improve my lead skills
•Exuberant & full of beans

Where I need to improve / Training required
•I will require full basic training as I've had no training experience yet
•I love my food & toys so using them as a positive reward should make my training easier.
•I need further training on my recall as I can ignore you if you are trying to call me back to you
•I can be a bit bouncy -training should stop this
•I can be strong on the lead - training and walking me in a halti or harness may stop this
