Meet Chelsea

Hi all, I'm Chelsea. I was a puppy when given to my human for companionship, however my human will be moving to a Nursing Home next month so I'm on the lookout for a home that will look after me. I am a very healthy 9kg 9 year old placid girl. I'm not used to visitors so will bark for awhile but I'm okay once I'm used to them.

I do have a few kilos to lose before my beach body is exposed and I'm hoping my new owner can take me for plenty of adventures to burn off my curvaceous waist. I had not been walked on a lead for a few years, however the carer who picked me up walked me for a block or so and I did famously. I saw a dog but didn't react then I saw another one and wanted to go the other way because it barked at me.

I am developing cataracts but who doesn't at my age? I am allergic to flea bites so a monthly flea tablet is needed to keep my sensitive skin at bay. I can be left alone for short period of time but as you can appreciate, I was with my human all the time so life is strange to me at present and I'll need time to adjust.

As you can see, I'm a bit like Marilyn Munroe so will need a groom soon, however I have never been to a groomer, however I have been shaved twice by my Vet. I tolerate a bath. I love belly rubs and will sit on your lap. I love to play with my toy and like to be chased as I will not bring it back to you. **I have a meet and greet on 6th July**

I travelled well in the car for an hour, had a break then travelled well again for another 20 minutes until I got to my carer at Wollongong. Thanks for taking the time to get to know me. Should you wish to meet me, please contact my carer and we can arrange a meeting. Mid-week would suit best as my carer works every 2nd weekend.
