ADOPT

Hi, I’m Foxy Lady, a tan-coloured kelpie cross aged about two years. I’m kind of shy and will need someone with patience to help me learn to be more outgoing. You can take me anywhere with you, but I’ll be unhappy if I must go for long periods without your company. I might jump up at you occasionally at first, but with some work on my training, I’ll learn that I don’t need to do that to get your attention. Once I feel comfortable with you, I will flourish in a family environment and will be a loving and loyal companion. Human time is my favourite time — if you’re looking for a full-time friend, pick me! To adopt Foxy Lady will cost $260. This includes being vaccinated, micro chipped, desexed and up to date worming and flea treatments. Council registration is additional. A property
