Hi everyone
Old 15-02-2008

Hi everyone,

I am a researcher from Adelaide (The University of South Australia) studying dingoes. If anyone wishes to share any information, ideas, photos on dingoes, or has a question, then I would be happy to help!

Cheers!

Home for a great little Dingo
Old 03-04-2008

Hi Dingo Boy

I am looking for a suitable home for my 7 month old desexed Dingo. I am in Darwin but will be able to travel if need be. Roy is a lively little man who is very well socialised with other dogs. He will need to live in a place where he is with other dogs that is secure, fun and safe. He is a great thong stealer, lizard and frog eater and tiny little hole digger. He stops doing whatever mischive he is up to when I firmly say "Ah Ah". He needs to live with someone who has alot of time

I need to re-home him ASAP as my living conditions have changed. He currently lives with 4 x Mastiff X's on 2.5 acres which is surrounded by 7ft cyclone fencing.

If anyone has any ideas of a suitable new home please let me know!

Brad is away on Fraser Island at the moment. WOnder why

it may be hard for you to find a new home for a desexed dingo, have you tried contacting the Dingo Discovery Centre?

Rehousing dingo
Old 03-04-2008

Hi,

Yeah I am on Fraser Island at the moment (thanks Ben), but occassionally get internet access.

Its a shame that your circumstances have changed and you cannot continue to look after your dingo. Lyn at the dingo discovery centre (just google) would be a great person to speak with about rehousing ideas, but as Roy is desexed she wouldnt be able to keep him with her dingoes.

Just note that it is certainly not ideal for a dingo to be moved away from their 'territory' and owners who are bonded with them. it can be very stressful

I wish you all the best in finding a new home for Roy, but make sure you are certain that it will be suitable for him, else it may be best for him if other options are explored.

Im sorry i dont know of anywhere/anyone who could take him (i wish i could), but if you are sure he is pure, then you might want to try private wildlife parks. seeing as though he is socialised and desexed (and if pure), would be a great addition to their collection. there is a thread that i started asking about parks which hold dingoes around Australia, that might be a good place to start.

Best of Luck

We actually have a spot for a socialised dingo down here (Brad, ours both PTS, old age caught up with them). Desexed doesn't matter but we really can only take dingos that can go on lead as we are a small park and want to use them for visitor talks and have them easy to manage. Let me know if you are interested and we can talk more.
