STANLEY – FOSTER CARER OR FOSTER TO ADOPT HOME NEEDED Name: Stanley Age: 12 months Location: Adelaide Stanley is a sweet, energetic young boy with a big personality. He is playful, boisterous and full of energy, and he is looking for an active home that can give him plenty to do. Stanley absolutely loves attention and can be quite clingy with his people. He enjoys being involved in whatever you are doing and will happily soak up as much love and attention as you are willing to give him. He loves getting out and about, playing and burning off some of that young-dog energy. Stanley enjoys treats, although he isn't particularly food motivated. He already knows sit and drop, and his foster carer is currently working on his recall. He is still learning his lead manners and will benefit from someone willing to continue his training. Stanley is toilet trained, but he is not currently crate trained. He is also a big chewer and will happily chew just about anything given the opportunity, so plenty of appropriate toys, enrichment and stimulation will be important. Stanley can be selective with other dogs, so any resident dog would need to be carefully matched with appropriate introductions. He has been okay around cats. He hasn't lived with children, although he has been friendly towards children and people he meets while out on walks. Stanley would be best suited to an active family or individual who has the time to continue his training, provide plenty of exercise and enrichment, and include him as part of their everyday life. He is still a young dog with plenty to learn, but with consistency, boundaries and someone willing to put the time into him, Stanley has the potential to become a wonderful companion. FOSTERING & FOSTER TO ADOPT There is no fee to foster Stanley or to enter our Foster to Adopt program. If you decide Stanley is the right match for your family and wish to proceed with adoption, the normal adoption fee will then apply.
If Stanley isn't quite the right fit, these dogs are close matches.
