About River
Handsome River is a 5-year-old black and tan Border Collie x Kelpie male. He is incredibly affectionate and loves to spend his days getting cuddles and pats or following his humans around while they go about their business.
River is well-mannered in the house and is happy to chill out by your feet or on your lap if allowed. He is toilet trained and sleeps happily all night in his crate. River recalls well and knows sit and to wait for your okay before eating. He has been learning to walk on a loose leash, and is quickly getting the hang of it, but will need continued practice. River is also still finding the outside world a little bit new and exciting and will need a family who will take the time to gain his trust and continue to work with him to build his confidence. His favourite things to play with are his soft stuffed toys and he likes having one in bed to sleep with at night.
River gets along well with other dogs, big and small. He is more interested in his people than other animals though so he wouldn't mind having his next owners all to himself either. He is well-mannered with new dogs and will wait until they're comfortable before initiating play.
River is a very friendly and loveable guy so would suit a home where his humans are home more than not or able to take him on lots of adventures with them. River's new family must understand that as a working breed dog he will need daily mental and physical stimulation and someone who is willing to continue his training and socialisation and include him in their day-to-day lives.
If you’re looking for a loving companion who wants to be your new shadow, please email your application in now!
Lots of licks and kisses, River xx
River is located in QLD...
Adoption details
To apply to adopt a dog from Dogs4Jobs, you must firstly complete our adoptions application form in full at http://dogs4jobs.com.au/adoption-form/.
You can also write out your answers and email them to dogs@dogs4jobs.com.au
*Please note, due to the high volume of applications received, we will not respond to Petrescue chat messages, or enquiries to adopt a dog. You must complete our adoptions form to be considered for the dog or pup, and we will respond to this form via our email.
We will then request to complete a yard check, or for you to send in photos of your yard showing the fencing, space, shelter and any hazards etc, to confirm it is safe and secure, as well as adequate space for a working breed dog.
Following this, we will then put you in touch with the dog/s foster carer/s that you are interested in, to chat further over the phone, about whether the dog is a good fit for your family, and vice versa. We are searching for the perfect match for each dog and their needs. A meet and greet can be arranged if both parties wish to proceed, and we also offer interstate adoption on all of our dogs.
