About Shorty
Hi my name is Shorty.
I’m a 9 month old fully vaccinated, desexed and parasite treated female from the N.T.
I’ve had quite a journey so far and I’m only 9 months old!
I started life in a remote West Arnhem Land community.
I was taken in by some school teachers who cared for me and my brothers.
They then moved to Alice springs via various other remote communities.
They loved me dearly but have now decided to put me into the care of the dog lady of Yuendumu.
She has now decided I’m ready to be adopted by a new lucky someone.
I’m a gentle older puppy.
I love other dogs and people and I don’t bark. I’m toilet trained and now have all my adult teeth so I’ve stopped teething.
I’ve done a bit of training but could use a puppy school to formalise what I already know.
I’ve come from a place that has been exposed to ecanis so I’ve had a precautionary treatment of antibiotics.
You could get me tested just to make sure I don’t have it or just monitor me for any symptoms should they occur.
I’m available to meet in Coburg once I fly down and have been to the vet.
Sometime in the next couple of weeks.
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?
11. How will you cope with behavior issues should they arise?
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
