How long does it take for a dog to bond with new owners?

Many sources cite a “3-3-3 rule” for dogs who move into a new home: three days of disorientation, three weeks to settle in, and three months to feel secure and bonded and “be themselves.” But while this general idea has merit—a dog will need time and space to get comfortable—there's no telling how long it'll take for ...21 Apr 2023

ARLO – MALTESE

$1990

Arlo’s date of birth is 26/2/2016.  His present weight is just over 7kg.

Arlo is an extremely healthy, active and happy dog who enjoys lots of cuddles and attention. He will be happy to sit in your lap while you read, listen to music or watch TV. He will also be very happy to engage in other activities with you.

The Maltese is a hypoallergenic companion breed from the Mediterranean island of Malta.

This breed is playful and affectionate, requiring occasional exercise to keep them healthy and happy.

Maltese dogs are very intelligent, gentle and very eager to please.

Arlo has been in a group setting so he knows how to socialise with other dogs. He has not been to public parks as he has his own private park and playmates that he lives with. As long as he has love and attention, he will learn the rest.

He has not been around children but it wouldn’t take him long to get used to them if they were introduced slowly.

Arlo has been a stud dog for the last 7 years and he has sired some beautiful puppies. Given he has been un-desexed and male he is more likely to mark territory. A complimentary belly band will accompany Arlo so you don’t need to worry when he is indoors.

He will be de-sexed and have another teeth clean before leaving us for his new home.

If you think you can give this lovely dog a beautiful life and receive loads of affection from him, contact Rose on 0403112431 for further information.

ENGLISH COCKER SPANIEL FOR REHOMING

Meet Scout. She is a 9 month old English Cocker Spaniel who is full of the joys of life.

She is a friendly, very intelligent and a super affectionate puppy and will make devoted family dog. She loves to run and play and  absolutely loves the water.

English Cocker Spaniels are  very adaptable to many environments, making them easy to travel with.  They make a perfect companion for a considerate child or an adventurous adult. This is a friendly dog, whether to children, other dogs and pets.

Scout's Story

Scout has been DNA tested and is all clear for the genetic diseases tested for by Orivet for the Cocker Spaniels but unfortunately she has developed a medial luxating patella. A luxating patella is a knee cap that 'pops out' or moves out of its normal location.

This is what the vet had to say. " After discussion with our surgeon, his recommendation is to wait for surgical repair until the growth plates have closed, which is likely to be after 12 months. Surgical repair is also recommended when lameness becomes consistent rather than intermittent or to prevent arthritis in future."

Given Scout's condition, she will not be bred from.

We are looking for a kind person who would be prepared to take Scout on as their own and be advised by the vets as to whether to manage the condition with appropriate exercise or have the surgery for which there is an excellent prognosis and post operatively, the recovery the recovery period is usually very rapid.

If you would like to know more about Scout and think you would like to take her on as your own and give her the care she needs and a wonderful life please contact me on 0403112431.
