Thumper

Hi! I'm Thumper and I'm looking for a new family to call my own.

APPLICATION PROCESS APPLIES FOR Thumper
PLEASE COMPLETE THE BELOW APPLICATION FORM
https://forms.gle/wYmvo4Lm7uNJLqLc8

NOTE: You are unable to meet Thumper until/unless you have been notified that you are a successful applicant. An adoption cannot be approved unless you are able to come to the shelter to meet Thumper in person and bring any dogs you currently have with you.

What I need in my new home:
• Daily walks, trips to the park or beach, playtime in the backyard
• Further training with basic doggie manners
• To be allowed inside with my family
• I LOVE both friendly male and female dogs
• Secure Fencing (6ft Colorbond or equivalent is a MUST)
• Lots of toys and mental stimulation
• A diet of good quality dry food to help keep my teeth clean
• Lots of love and attention
• No young children as when I'm excited I get very bouncy and mouthy, older children who will be involved with my training should be ok.
• Being a social and playful pupper I would love to go to doggy daycare
• I have lots of energy so an active family is a must
• I have a high prey drive so I can't go to a home that already has cats, rabbits/guinea pigs or chickens/ducks as I will chase them
• A doggie companion is a MUST to keep me company when my family isn't home or a family that is home all the time. I suffer from separation anxiety which results in me trying to find company.

Things that I don't want in my new home:
• To be left alone in the backyard without any interaction
• Not to be allowed inside with my family
• Never to go on a walk or rides in the car
Small children due to being mouthy & bouncy - Older children who will be involved with my training should be ok.
• Cats or small animals as I find them fun to chase

My best features:
• Very playful
• Wiggle butt
• I appear housetrained
• Highly food motivated
• I can sit, shake hands.
• I have had some basic obedience training and am a generally well-mannered dog
• I love attention and having snuggles with my humans
• Happy to hang out with other friendly dogs
• Social butterfly
• I am clever and eager to learn so would love a family who will teach me some cool tricks.
• I love attention, hugs, kisses & head scratches
• Exuberant & full of beans

Where I need to improve / Training required
• I can be a bit bouncy -training should stop this
• I can be strong on the lead - training and walking me in a halti or harness may stop this
• I may show signs of anxiety when I'm left alone in the backyard. Leaving me some enrichment toys/treats may help this.
