Pippi

Apr 27, 2012

Pippi is microchipped, vaccinated, wormed and will be desexed and available for $300 (incl GST)

Pippi is a very special dog looking for a very special family.

She has been through a lot in her life and now it’s time for her to find somewhere to relax and receive lots of attention, cuddles and love.

Pippi was found as a very timid underweight stray who had appeared to have recently had pups. During her time at Queanbeyan pound she started to gain a bit more confidence. Unfortunately just after she was fostered from the pound, she had to have emergency surgery to save her life as she had swallowed a corn cob which had ruptured her intestine. She almost didn’t make it but with some great care from the vets at Gables in Monash she managed to pull through and is almost completely recovered.

In spite of such a tough life so far, Pippi is an extremely affectionate and loving dog. She adores a pat and a cuddle and will reward you with vigorous wags and licks. She has had no training so far, but (despite still being convalescent) is very quickly learning her indoor manners and some basic commands. With each day her confidence grows, but she still remains a shy, sensitive girl and probably always will be. She has not shown any interest in the chickens in her foster home and apart from a few early growls when she was still recovering she has been happy to share everything but her bed with resident dog, Watson.

Pippi will need a family with lots of affection and time to give, and who will provide her with some clear but gentle boundaries. She loves being inside with her family and will happily doze on her bed as you eat dinner or watch TV. Pippi has so far been excellent with young children, but she is a big and strong dog who can be a bit of a boof head (literally). So she should only go to a family with older children who will treat her with respect. Because of her difficult life so far and the need to build her confidence while at the same time giving plenty of time to training, a family with previous experience with dogs will be needed. Pippi will be well worth the effort!

Pippi is a super special girl and she deserves a home where she can finally settle in, share her big capacity for love and enjoy a relaxed, happy and content life.

Snowy

Apr 2, 2012

Snowy is microchipped, desexed, vaccinated, wormed, and available for $300 (incl GST).

Snowy is a handsome young lad with a soft, glossy, black coat. He is loyal and loving and is very close to his family. Snowy is a happy, active boy who loves the company of his doggy friends and regularly enjoys a game with them. He also enjoys a game of fetch with his human family. Snowy is quite good on lead and can sit on command. He just loves to please and has a cute way of spinning his body in a circle so that he ends up sitting next to your leg, and then looks up so pleased with himself and keen for your pat. He loves nothing more than a loving pat and a good snuggle with you while you watch TV. He is cute then too, bending himself upside down and inside out squeezed up next to you, fast asleep with a smile on his face.

Snowy appears to have been roughly handled in his earlier life and is initially a little wary of strangers, but warms up quickly once he gets to know you. For this reason he would be best in a home without small children. He needs a home that has experience with dogs, is patient and will provide him with clear boundaries.

Snowy has just received his Beginners’ Certificate at Dog Club Obedience Class and this is just the beginning. Snowy currently sleeps quietly inside overnight and is crate trained (sleeps happily in his transportable wire crate). He needs to be allowed inside and to be a part of his family.

Snowy needs another confident, friendly, female dog for company and a secure yard with a high fence. He is currently on a farm and has settled in well. He is a sweet fellow who is very endearing, a lovely mate!

Morgan

Apr 1, 2012

Morgan is microchipped, desexed, vaccinated, wormed, and available for $300 (incl GST).

Morgan is a friendly girl who loves to snuggle and be close to her family. Her human family are her number one, she is very loyal and is more than happy to shower them with affection.

Morgan is very responsive and is so keen to please her family that she tries very hard to show you how clever she is. She sits on command and is quite good on lead. Morgan loves going to Dancing with Dogs which she is enjoying and showing much aptitude for. In fact Morgan shows great aptitude for many things.

She is so very quick to learn it is amazing. Morgan gets along well with the dogs in our household and is often found snuggling up with them.

Morgan had a difficult start to life where it appears that she has been very roughly handled. In the home environment you wouldn’t know that this has been the case, outside in new environments she can get nervous and unsure. We are working on this and taking her out in new situations to get her used to it. As she needs a confident, more experienced person to guide her through nervous periods we have placed her into our bronze category of dogs. This does not reflect on her nature, she is a sweet, adorable girl – she just needs a little more experienced owner to guide her.

It is important for Morgan that her new family will continue her training and socialisation to help her feel comfortable in many different situations.

Morgan is a delightful sweetheart who has lots of love to give!
