About Peggy - 6 Week Old Cattle Dog X (Trial)
Meet Peggy, a 6 week old cattle cross pup and yes, she really is too cute.
Peggy and her siblings were dumped at a country pound in a washing basket at only two weeks without their mother. Since then they have been lovingly raised and bottle fed by one of our amazing foster carers. Now Peggy is ready to find her forever family. Could this be you?
Peggy is a happy go lucky puppy who's inquisitive, playful and loving personality will keep you entertained for hours.
Peggy loves nothing more than following you around and exploring all the new sights, smells and sounds. She also loves having a rumble with her sister and playing with her toys.
While Peggy is a super adorable ball of fluff, who loves to snuggle up to you and fall asleep in your lap, she will grow into an active dog who will need ongoing physical exercise and mental stimulation. She will require consistent daily exercise with an active family that loves getting out and about with their furbaby.
She is currently living with three small male dogs over the age of ten and her sister Luna who is also up for adoption.
Peggy also lives with two small humans who are seven and eight who she adores and constantly follows around.
Peggy would benefit from having a social doggie companion that is used to puppies and who she could learn from. She could however happily adjust to being an only dog if her humans were around more often than not and showered her with attention.
Peggy deserves a fun-loving family who is home and allows her inside. In return she will fill your house with love.
Peggy is currently learning how to be the bestest dog. Trying her hardest at basic commands, toilet training, using the doggy door, sleeping in her crate and walking on a lead.
Peggy is a fast learner but like all puppies, she will benefit from puppy school and needs a family who is willing to commit to consistent training, regular exercise, socialisation, mental stimulation and opportunities for games, walks, and lots of play.
It is anticipated that Peggy will be medium in size once fully grown. She will be available to go to her new home from 8 weeks old on the 12 June 2023.
Peggy's overview
- Needs a family committed to ongoing puppy training, socialisation, exercise, play and lots of walks.

Peggy's adoption fee is $700 which includes her desexing when she is old enough. It also includes her first two vaccinations. She has been treated for fleas and worms, and is microchipped.
Peggy is in foster care in New Lambton Heights, NSW. Since she is not yet desexed, she is only available for adoption to the Lower Hunter region (Newcastle, Lake Macquarie, Port Stephens, Maitland and Cessnock) plus Central Coast and Sydney. She'll need to be returned to one of our approved vets for desexing when she's 5 to 6 months old.
To apply to meet Peggy please fill out our Adoption Questionnaire https://tinyurl.com/drnadopt. If you have any questions, you can send an email to joanne2tearle@gmail.com
PLEASE NOTE: When applying for our dogs and puppies, please ensure to list the name NOT just the reference number or the microchip number as this will delay your application reaching the correct foster carer.
