Karl is looking for a family to take him on adventures and to see the sights and smells of every day living. Whilst Karl is a kelpie and he is active, he does have a wonderful off switch that he happily uses himself. Always taking himself off for a nap when needed. He can be a little nippy so not recommended for really small children, but this behaviour is also easily redirected back into play by giving him an appropriate chew toy or meeting that need with some tug-o-war. Karl is overall just a cool little fella looking for an active family that won’t make him into a backyard ornament. Good with robust kids, cats, dogs. Karl is desexed, 1st vaccinated and microchipped. His adoption fee is $750 and he is located in Wynarka. Please apply for Karl via the Savourlife website using the following link https://www.savour-life.com.au/adopt-a-dog/search-now/view/155793 A big thank you to SavourLife who are generously offering a FREE bag of SavourLife, all-natural, Australian-made dog food to anyone adopting. *All dogs start out on a 14-day trial period.
