Spot
Kelpie/Heading dog cross. 18.2kg.
DOB 3/23. Fostered Ashburton.
Spot needed somewhere to go within a few days. His owners were moving farms.
He had been spending a lot of his time in a kennel/run. He was let out a few times a day. He’d never been to a vet. We were very happy when a suitable foster home offered to help him.
Spot has come a long way in the 3 months that he has been in care.
He is slowly becoming interested in toys but would much rather follow you on a walk or snuggle at your feet. Slowly getting used to visiting the vet clinic.
Used to and good with cows and other dogs. Needs a sheep/cat free home. He wanted to chase and play with the chickens – they would need a safe enclosure and further training/supervision of Spot would be required.
He doesn’t roam outside of the yard when his carer is home and settles in his kennel/run when no one is at home.
Spot can be shy and sensitive if a voice is raised. He needs a quiet, kind, patient knowledgeable home that has a good understanding of dog body language. Someone keen to continue his confidence building and training – using force free methods and not putting him under pressure.
He will respond with endless cuddles and entertain with his funny little quirks.
House trained and sleeps inside. Has previously lived with young children, but we think that older ones would be best.
