About Christopher
Christopher is a lovely boy, affectionate, cuddly and playful
He is approx 6mths old and came into the care of the famous dog lady of Yuendumu in a remote part of the NT 350km from Alice Springs. His family probably had too many dogs so Steve has now flown from Alice Springs to Sydney to find his forever home.

He is in care with other dogs and knows which ones want to play and which to stay away from.
He hasn't yet met the foster cats but most young puppies get put in their place by an older experienced cat.
Christopher is now ready for a home to take him to puppy school and any other further training.
He has never yet been left alone so he will need to be eased into this like any puppy.
He currently weighs 10kg approx. and doesn't have large paws so we estimate he will be on the smaller side of medium, slim build perhaps 15kg??
All Camp dogs are such a mix of breeds, each one being unique. So don't bother asking what breed we think he 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.
Christopher is micro chipped, vaccinated, de sexed and parasite treated.
He is in foster care in Kingsford near the Uni of NSW.
PLEASE NOTE
Christopher is in excellent health. However, as he has come from an area of Australia where there have been cases of Ehrlichiosis,( a brown tick borne disease introduced to Australia in 2020), he is receiving a precautionary course of antibiotics and is has been tested.

Adoption details
WHEN APPLYING PLEASE PROVIDE ANSWERS TO ALL OF THE QUESTIONS BELOW.
1. Have you had a dog before is so, when, size, and age? (not if you have looked after someone else's dog)
2. Who makes up your home, how old are they, what is their relationship to the applicant, and are they all ready to come to a meet and greet if this is offered?
3 Most dogs, puppies, and young cannot be left alone for long hrs e.g more than 4hrs at a time. How will you deal with this issue?
4 If you want a puppy how will you deal with the work involved i.e. toilet training, chewing, mouthing - those sharp teeth - jumping up, going to puppy classes?
5. How will you cope with all these issues if you have children (how old are your children?)?
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?
7 Have you considered that a dog or a puppy cannot immediately be taken to a dog park or cafe and need to slowly understand all the new sights, sounds, people, dogs, etc of their new environment?
8 If necessary how will you seek additional one on one training for you and your dog?
9 Where will the dog sleep at night?
10 How will you provide for any veterinary costs?

12 If you rent have you obtained written approval for a dog?
13 If you own an apartment have you obtained written approval from the body corporate?
14 We cannot provide any more information about the eventual size or breed of the dog. Have you considered this?
15 If you are offered a meet and greet and it is felt by all that the dog or pup is a good fit for your family, we expect you to be ready to take the dog home/adopt at the time.
From what date do you want to adopt?
We cannot hold dogs as space in foster care is needed for other dogs.
Thank you
