Turbo

Turbo is a beautiful, calm boy who is searching for the love and care he truly deserves.

He can be shy to start, but he is very friendly once he learns to trust you. He isn’t overly affectionate at this stage, but he certainly enjoys human company. He is building his confidence slowly and steadily and is forming closer bonds with our staff each day.

He hasn’t demonstrated much of a playful side in the shelter, but as he settles into a quieter and less stressful environment, we anticipate that he will continue to blossom. He is a clever boy and will sit and shake hands like a true gentleman! He has been a little fussy with his food while in our care, but he loves chicken, and this is the quickest way to his heart!

Turbo would be happy to be the only dog in his home, however he has shown that he is dog social in certain settings. He isn’t fond of overly energetic and bouncy dogs and wouldn’t enjoy visiting a dog park – however he is quite happy to go on walks with other respectful and calm dogs where he can say hello on his own terms but still be given his own space.

He would be best suited to a home with kids over the age of 12, or in an adult only home.

He has spent the majority of his life in a breeding facility, so he is still learning how to navigate all the new experiences he is having in the shelter. He is looking for a calm and patient home who will help him integrate at his own pace, as it will be his first true experience in a home environment. With time and TLC, we are sure he is going to love being a cherished furry family member!

Turbo needs to have a dental procedure which will require him to come back to our vet clinic to have completed later on in Jan, so his new home will need to be located within a reasonable travel distance of our clinic in Keysborough.
