Kelso is the NRAS Pet of the Week. Photo supplied.

Kelso the kelpie pup is Northern Rivers Animal Services’ pet of the week.

Social, curious, clever and cute, Kelso is a delightful 2-month-old pup blessed with looks and personality.

His brother Karl has just been adopted, so he’s hoping it will be his turn next.

NRAS says the kelpie breed is renowned for their intelligence, drive and stamina, so when Karl grows up, he will need plenty of mental and physical exercise to see him thrive and reach his full potential.

He will be a mid-sized dog when fully grown with a short, low maintenance cream coat and chocolate nose. Ready to find his forever home and embark on a life of adventures and new friends, Karl is waiting for you!

All animals in NRAS’ care are vet checked, flea & worm treated, vaccinated, microchipped and desexed prior to their adoption.

For further information contact the NRAS Shelter Office on 6681 1860 or email: [email protected]

Download an adoption questionnaire or find out more from the website.

For four decades The Echo has printed the stories some people loved, some people hated, and some pretended not to read. If you want us to keep telling the truth, the real truth, not the sugar-coated version. We’ll need your support to keep the presses rolling.

If you are a local business owner help us and in turn we help you. All The Echo asks for is advertising, not a free ride. It is every advert in The Echo and on www.echo.net.au, which creates the space for all the stories and coverage of community events, happenings and concerns.

If you are a reader you can become a sponsor of The Echo. Your support keeps the us independent.

Even a small one-off or regular donation from you will help keep the echo’s independent voice alive and strong.
