About Donnie
Donnie will be available from 15/02/23
All About Me and My Unique Personality:
Introducing Donnie!
Despite Donnie's rough start to life, he is an incredibly sweet, affectionate and playful boy. Donnie loves spending time with people, playing with his toys and exploring his surroundings.
During the week, Donnie has been traveling, with his foster carer, to work where he has been spending his time as the office puppy. When he is in the office, he will usually move between his beds and play with his toys or interact with staff to con them into giving him treats and snuggles. When in the car, Donnie sits in his carrier and will either lay down, nap or chew on a toy; he is excellently behaved in the car. He is okay to be left alone once he is familiar with his surroundings and will often occupy himself with his toys. Donnie has regular toilet breaks and will follow staff outside to do his business. He has been doing excellent with his toilet training, with only small accidents here and there.
Donnie L O V E S to play with his toys! He can be quite vocal when playing with his toys and is always down for a game of tug-o-war. Given Donnie is only a puppy, he will need plenty of toys he can chew on and plenty of mentally stimulating toys.
During the night, Donnie has been sleeping in the laundry where he has a small crate set up. He has free access in and out of his crate and will often choose to sleep in there of a night. He will sometimes sleep on a light mat in the laundry under the fan when it becomes a little too warm. He is regularly taken out for toilet breaks throughout the night and is usually quick to settle back into sleep. He loves snuggling with his foster carer and loves a sneaky early morning cuddle in bed before work. When he is allowed into the bedroom, early in the morning, he will generally settle quickly and will sleep along side you for a few hours before getting up to tackle the day.
My Ideal Home:
Donnie will require a home where his new family are able to continue on with his socialisation and training. He will benefit from plenty of stimulation, another doggy friend to play with and a family who are willing to accept him as one of their own.
What is Known About My Background:
Donnie was found by some construction workers after he wandered into their worksite. When he was found, he was tiny, riddled with fleas and had a massive worm burden. Despite best efforts, none of Donnie's other litter mates or family could be located. Thankfully, the construction workers who found him, took him to the local vets where he was checked over and then handed over to the local Council where he was then released to Hunter Animal Rescue under duty of care.
How Do I Interact with Kids, Dogs, Cats and Other Pets:
Kids - Would suit a home with calm children.
Dogs - Would suit a home with a dog/s of a similar size. Donnie has met and freely interacted with many different dogs (Boxer x Bulldog, JRT x Cavalier, Mastiff, Staffy's) however he does become a little unsure/intimidated by large, boisterous dogs. He does enjoy interacting with dogs once he has warmed up
Cats - Would suit a home with an existing cat/s. Donnie has interacted with a few cats/kittens and is very curious and playful when provoked.
Other - Donnie has not met any other animal/s.
