About Sammy
Hello, my name is Sammy.
I’m a 1 year old dog from Yuendumu. I came into the care of the dog lady of Yuendumu a while ago.
I’ve been desexed, vaccinated microchipped and parasite treated so I’m now ready to go to my forever home. I am on a precautionary course of antibiotics because I come from a place where they have ecanis.
I’m a settled little guy. I’m learning lots since I’ve come down from the desert. I’m
Learning to go on a lead and have been enjoying my walks in the green grass of Melbourne. I’ve enjoyed meeting the kids at my foster home during the school holidays.
I think I’d be more suited to older children. I love cuddling up on peoples laps which is cute because I’m not a tiny dog. I’m fully grown and only weigh about 10 kg.
Puppy classes would certainly help me formalise what I already know and structure that learning. I’m quite well socialised but I will need encouragement when out meeting new situations.
If you’d like to meet me I’m in Coburg north.
We have a two week trial period so that if something doesn’t work out in that time then you just return me and get your adoption fee back.
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
