About Pumpkin
Introducing PUMPKIN, one of 10 absolutely adorable Border Collie mix puppies from the Island Litter.
They were born on 19 April 2022 to their lovely mum, Morgan, a young tan and white, short-haired border collie with amber eyes. Morgan's photo forms part of Pumpkin's profile. We think dad was a border collie mix, too.
Pumpkin is a very snuggly, playful and affectionate girl, as you can probably tell from the photos, which were taken at the vet clinic on the day of her first vaccination. She was cuddling up to her doting foster mum 'cos the vet clinic can be a bit scary for a little pup.
Border Collies can make great family pets, loyal companions and excellent watchdogs. They are clever, even-tempered and eager to please, making them a good choice for a family pet. They get along well with children and other pets, particularly when introduced from an early age.
The secret to bringing the best out in a border collie is to keep her occupied and well loved.
A BC's greatest joy is the love and attention of an active owner or family, while her greatest disappointment is inactivity and lack of attention.
BCs are extremely loyal dogs and love their humans. Wherever their family is, that's where they want to be too - whether that's out in a boat, in the back of a car, going for a walk, training for agility competitions or herding, or just watching television in the evening.
To be happy and content, Pumpkin will need plenty of vigorous daily exercise, mental stimulation and play. As always, secure fencing is a must.
Preference will be given to homes where someone is around most of the time and/or there is another compatible dog for Pumpkin to play with. Previous breed experience will be highly regarded.
If you are interested in meeting this lovely pup and can offer her a suitable, safe and loving forever home, PLEASE COMPLETE THE ONLINE ADOPTION APPLICATION at https://southerndownsark.com.au/apply-to-adopt/ and one of our volunteers will be in touch.
Pumpkin's adoption fee is $795. She has had one vaccination and is microchipped. Her adoption fee includes desexing when age appropriate.
She will be available for rehoming from 14 June 2022.
Pumpkin is available for interstate adoption, but all applicants must be prepared to travel to Warwick, Q. personally to meet her.
