The only similarity between this playful pup and an Orca (killer whale) is their monochromatic appearance.

Orca is a sweet snuggle bug. She presents as a timid girl, and requires patience and encouragement when first meeting new people. Orca sorts humans as either stranger or best friend, but once you gain her trust she’ll become your shadow.

Living with two foster fur-sisters, Orca has quickly learnt that the old cattle dog is to be looked at but not touched. Choose the other pooch for playing tug of war, chase and World Wrestling training.

Orca is highly motivated by food, and eager to please. She has a lot of potential to be unlocked by the person/family that will put in the training time. Having led a sheltered life, unfamiliar settings and experiences are not easy for her.

With a food incentive to enter her crate, Orca settles without fuss for the night.

Happy to help in the garden, watch you do housework, or let you choose the nightly movie, Orca is the ideal best friend. She’s here waiting to meet you.

Orca is $350 to adopt and comes desexed, microchipped, C5 vaccinated and given flea, tick and worm preventatives.
