Meet Macaroni! Macaroni is on the hunt for a mac-nificent home where he can finally discover all the comforts of family life. This handsome Kelpie is full of love, enthusiasm and personality, and he's looking for people who are ready to invest in his future so he can become the best version of himself. Macaroni is incredibly people-oriented and thrives on human connection. He loves attention, seeks out interaction and happily leans into pats from his favourite people. He's highly food motivated, making training both rewarding and enjoyable, and while toys don't hold much appeal, a tasty treat will have his full attention. He'll do best with adopters who understand the breed's need for mental stimulation, ongoing training and meaningful outlets for their energy. Kelpies thrive when given a job to do, and Macaroni will be no exception. Macaroni is still learning the basics of home life and is not yet house-trained. His new family will need to be committed to continuing his training and helping him develop good manners. He is not suited to a home with other dogs or cats and will need owners who are prepared to continue his training journey. A secure yard is essential, and apartment living isn't for him. Macaroni would much prefer a quieter home in the outer suburbs or regional areas where he can enjoy a calmer lifestyle away from the hustle and bustle of the inner city. With the right guidance, understanding and commitment, Macaroni has a lot of love to give. Could you be the cheese to this Macaroni and help him write the next chapter of his story?
If Macaroni isn't quite the right fit, these dogs are close matches.
