Pound Pooches

 

Boss

Hi, my name's Boss. I am a Blue Meryl X Fox Terrier. I am a un-neutered male about 14 months old. I have spent my life on a farm and am a very intelligent young man. My dad is re-homing me as he feels I am being wasted by spending so much time being left at home, as he does such long hours. I am a loving boy, and may be suitable for agility training or as a handy dog on a lifestyle block or farm. But I would also be quite happy to be a 'man's' dog in a ute or truck...or a good companion for a farm boy... Genuine enquiries only.

Professional's view:
Boss is not in the pound; he will be held by his owners until the right home is found.

Adoption costs:
Registration: 70.00
Microchipping: 0.00
Desexing: 0.00
Sale of Dog: 50.00



Luka (fostered out)

Hi, my name is Luka. I was due to be destroyed as I had been in the pound for three weeks and no-one wanted me. Then along came Sarah Hesketh, my new foster mum. She saw the potential in me and had the patience to teach me the things my previous owner hadn't. I am now a very well-behaved young lady that is going to be a gun dog.

Professional's view:
Once again we have a beautiful dog that has had the right training and will make a great companion. Luka has a new mum and dad awaiting her, thanks to Sarah! Come and visit our other dogs that need homes.

I am still in my puppy stage but I love kids, going for walks and would love to be on a lifestyle block or a farm, but if a townie wants me ... hey come and see me - but make sure you have high fences!
