GRETCHEN'S CHOICES [Australian Kelpies]

Canberra Pound (Symonston, ACT)
 
I'm a Golden Oldie
Yard 31
Breed: Australian Kelpie
Gender: Male
Age: 8-10 years
NEEDS ADOPTION COMMITMENT BY 5:00PM, TUESDAY, 16/3
Due Date: Wednesday, 17 March 2010
Temperament Notes:
In the cage this old boy was quiet and stood at the door and then turned around and stood in front of handler. Outside the cage in the "stand and ignore" exercise, he stood at the end of the lead quietly. In the "withdrawal of affection" test, he accepted the pats and then went back to the end of the lead. He was happy to be handled all over. The "guide and place" exercise wasn't carried out because of his front legs being bowed and he appears to have some bad arthritis in his hips. In the "stranger danger" test he is so quiet and sad that he didn't react at all. In the "child" (doll) test he showed no interest. In the dog-to-dog introduction he was soft and gentle when meeting other dogs. He was too uncomfortable to have the choker chain correction test performed. He would suit a home where he could just curl up and enjoy and twilight years. He's a gorgeous old man who doesn't deserve to die in a pound, he needs some TLC and comfort.

Breed: Australian Kelpie Cross
Gender: Male
Name: "Danny"
Age: 12 months
Desexed: YES
Shelter Notes: Danny is a smart and athletic dog with a nice, friendly personality. He has a cooperative nature and is highly motivated by food reward based training. Being a young dog, he will require training to help him continue to grow into a well mannered dog. Canine companionship is not essential for Danny if he gets plenty of attention from his humans, and is included as one of the family. Danny will be a rewarding addition to a family with older children.
