About Newton
FOSTER TO ADOPT
Newton is such an adorable, cheeky little man. Our staff totally adore him! This pup will certainly keep you on your toes, and he is looking for an experienced home who are confident with training and socialising dogs, as Newton has a very big, beautiful and boisterous personality.
Newton had unfortunately not received much training in the first few months of his life, so he does have some silly behaviours like jumping and mouthing that need to be worked on. He is a naturally very good boy and wants so desperately to do the right thing!
He is a very sweet and loving boy. Once he knows and trusts you, he is a very human-oriented dog and loves to be near his people, but it takes time to build a strong bond with him. Newton will need a caring and patient family that understand he will need time to settle into a new routine. If he is to live with kids, they will need to be dog savvy and understand that puppies explore the world with their mouths and paws, and the grown-ups will need to set boundaries early.
He is quite confident when meeting other furry friends and would benefit from having a tolerant and well-socialised doggy playmate in his new home. Just like any puppy, he plays quite rough and will need some gentle and consistent corrections from a doggy playmate to help him learn boundaries. He could potentially be an only dog, as long as his owners are committed to guiding him into becoming the best doggy he can be and have lots of family and friends with dog-friendly dogs so he has plenty of socialisation.
Newton has been socialised with kitties in his foster home, and he could live with a kitty in his new home as long as his owners took the time to appropriately introduce them. He might be silly with them to begin with, but he doesn’t mean any harm!
