Pluto - 11 Yr Old Kelpie/whippet Cross In Sydney

[Her Majesty Dogmad]

My vet has asked if I can help poor old Pluto. He's 11 yrs old desexed and in good health. He's 16 kilos and quite "lanky".

His owner has gone into a nursing home and the family can't take him. He's in boarding kennels until 5th August at this stage.

He's good with other dogs, has met children OK, is not a fence jumper and is quite mellow.

Couldn't find out if he's an inside or outside dog. The owner was very elderly and probably didn't walk him so we don't know about the lead behaviour.

If anyone is interested, I'm happy to go to the kennels he's at this weekend and see if I can assess him further.

I'm happy to offer housetraining help if needed.

Next vacc is due in 2013.

Bet he's a lovely old boy :)

Wow, he looks like a Dingo!

I'm sure you'll find him a home, dear boy.

Looks like an indoors dog to me, lounging on an armchair!!

Fingers crossed for beautiful Pluto!

I've changed the photo of Pluto because the first one was very deceptive. From some body shots I have, he looks like he's possibly a Whippet cross which would explain his slim stature.

It seems the family are now in a hurry to tidy things up, Pluto included.
