Hi! I'm Macadamia!

I came to WAG with all my puppies, and I've been a hard working mom up until they were ready to be adopted. I am such a good mom, but I'm very ready for a home of my own where I get all the attention and love I deserve. 

I came from roaming the streets, so not much is known about my past. I seem to not mind the other dogs at the shelter, but I havn't made any close friends yet. I've been too busy feeding ten babies to make any bffs. I am now in a loving foster home where I am learning new things every day and loving getting all the attention and cuddles I could ask for!

I can be a bit nervous of new people, so slow introductions and lots of treats are key but I’m getting brave and and more eager to say hello. I’ve become comfortable with harness/leashes on walks and well behaved when I strut my stuff. I’ve had good interactions with other dogs of all sizes when on walks. I’m alert, observant and love to sniff and explore. I enjoy adventures in nature, am happy to chill at home and will follow you around the house to supervise. If you have time for a play session, even better 🙂

I'm quite food motivated which will help with my future training. I was thin when I arrived but I am putting some weight on again. Feeding 10 babies was hard work, I also suffered from mastitis, but I have thankfully healed up now and am ready to be spayed in the near future. WAG promised me that I only have to be a teen mom once and can focus on being a puppy myself now.

Most things inside are new to me and although I'm delighted to be warm and fed, I had to get used to basic things like stairs (which were scary but are now super easy) and loud kitchen sounds or vacuum noises don’t even bother me anymore. I rarely ever bark inside the house (not even at the vacuum!) and will only very occasionally sing to you if I need something. I’ve discovered dog beds and love to nap along with being a rock star sleeping through the night.

Getting into the car and going for car rides is still something I’m getting comfortable with. I’m young, a fast learner, brave and smart so as long as you take things at my pace, I will keep mastering home life. PS I am also patient and cooperative for things like putting my harness on or getting brushed… I try to be helpful 🙂 .

I am looking for a home who is commited to helping me gain confidence. Training classes with a WAG approved trainer would also need to be part of the plan! I can't wait to find a cozy bed to cuddle up on, and someone who will take me for all the awesome adventures I deserve!
