Bingo

Bingo the Dingo!!!

Yes, that’s right – the DNA results have finally come in, and we have confirmed that little Bingo is indeed 62% Dingo! Other breeds in her ancestry are Staffy, Shetland Sheepdog and wait for it…. Chihuahua! Little Bingo is certainly one in a million, and she is searching for a very special and very specific home.

Her forever home MUST HAVE EXPERIENCE WITH DINGO HYBRID DOGS. This is non-negotiable! Dingo hybrid dogs are not typical dogs – they require a lot more training, enrichment, and a lifestyle that will keep her brain and body active to keep her out of trouble and prevent the development of serious behavioural issues during adolescence and adulthood.

She is an absolutely beautiful girl with a very sweet temperament. She can be slightly timid when meeting new people, and requires slow and respectful introductions. She is not a fan of densely populated and noisy places as this can be very overwhelming for her. Her ideal home would have a large (SECURE) yard to play in, but Bingo does not want to be an strictly outside dog. She is a sweet girl who bonds closely with people, and wants a home where she will be treated like a family member.

Bingo has shown some fear around young children, so would best suit an adult only home or a home with teenagers/grown up children who know how to respect her space.

She is a very smart girl who is very food motivated. She is steadily improving with her loose-lead walking training but will need to continue on with this in her forever home. She can sometimes be a little stubborn and will decide to sit or lie down when she doesn’t want to go somewhere, but encouraging her with a treat will help do the trick!

She absolutely loves her mental-enrichment toys, and it is very important she is fed with puzzle toys that will keep her mind active, she especially loves the ‘kong wobbler’!

She has tested very positively with other dogs in the shelter big and small, and she would benefit greatly from having a doggy friend of a similar size and energy level in her forever home. She previously lived with a border collie, so a working breed dog with high energy and who is well socialised and has good doggy manners would be a great match for her.

Puppy school will be inlcuded in the adoption fee.

Please note that we will not be considering homes that do not have experience with Dingo-hybrid dogs.
