Adoption information
I've been adopted!
About Sam (was Monet)
Meet our gorgeous Monet masterpiece!
Monet is a timid boy who has not had much exposure to the outside world and is finding all these changes just a little overwhelming.
To set Monet up for success he will need a quiet adult (maybe teens) home where he has another canine companion to learn the ropes from (this is a must!).
An owner knowledgeable of the ridgeback traits would also be beneficial.
Monet will need time to settle in at home first before he starts to venture out with you to quieter areas where he can slowly build his confidence with the big wide world.
A large, secure yard is a must for this boy.
As he settles in Monet will need plenty of toys and mental enrichment to minimise any puppy mischief he may get into.
Monet hasn't had the positive experiences a pup should have and will need slow, positive introductions to the world.
Do you have the quiet environment, time and patience to help this sweet boy learn to navigate the world around him?
Please call our friendly staff on 5978 9001 to learn more.
