Sakura - 8 Week Old Border Collie X

Sakura is an affectionate, calm, smart pup who adores cuddling up with her brother and human.

She lives with her brother Sanji and fur foster sister. When she was only six weeks old, she learned to use the dog door right after she came into care. Her brother Sanji is a curious boy, and Sakura wants to follow him whenever he goes on an adventure. Sakura sleeps well in her crate throughout the night. She is currently undergoing toilet training and is doing her best to go outside and do her business. Sakura is now all set to explore her forever home with her new family.

Sakura is a very healthy little puppy who has been raised in a home environment. She has been very well socialised with other puppies and adult dogs (small and large) and gets along well with them all. She's met lots of people and is friendly and affectionate with them.

Sakura will grow up to be a medium/large dog. We always recommend puppy-training classes to give your new family member the best start in life. All dogs and puppies need plenty of affection, exercise, and training.

It would be a big plus if you have a friendly adult dog as a teacher, companion and playmate for Sakura. If you don't have another dog to keep her company, then there needs to be someone in the household that doesn't work full time.

Sakura needs to be welcome inside when people are home, and to sleep inside at least until fully grown. She will be a wonderful family dog and is suitable for children 8 years and older. You need good fencing with no small gaps. She can't go to rural fencing (eg: mesh or wire).

Sakura's sibling Sanji is also available for adoption.

Sakura's adoption fee is $700 which includes her desexing when she is old enough. It also includes her first two vaccinations. She has been treated for fleas and worms, and is microchipped.

Sakura is in foster care in Lemon Tree Passage, NSW. Since she is not yet desexed, she is only available for adoption to the Lower Hunter region (Newcastle, Lake Macquarie, Port Stephens, Maitland and Cessnock) plus Central Coast and Sydney. She'll need to be returned to one of our approved vets for desexing when she's 5 to 6 months old.
