About Taco
Hi my name is Taco and I am 7, I think I am a pretty handsome gent if I may say so myself, when I was rescued by Chihuahua Rescue QLD I was a timid boy and a bit fearful, but my foster family made me feel very welcome and I settled in with them well after a few days.
I am currently living in the city in a unit and my foster family say I am a very good boy, I am fully housetrained and would not dream of going inside, I would suit many homes but I don’t want a home with children please, sudden movements scare me and I don’t want to be put in that situation. I would be fine with a working family as I don’t mind waiting at home for you. As long as I am indoors of course.
I enjoy walks and seeing the sights and I absolutely love the sofa, and snuggles. I do have a heart murmur but it doesn’t require medication yet, but I could need it in the future. I might be a bit shy when I first meet you, I am like that with strangers, but give me some time and I will be your best friend in no time, I would be quite happy as an only pet, then I get all the attention, but if you have a chill dog like me I might be just fine with that. I could also live with a cat, as I pretty much ignore them.
So if all that sounds good, please read my medical notes then fill out an Expression of Interest further down the page, I would love to meet you.
Medical notes
All Chihuahua Rescue Queensland dogs have been fully health checked by our vets. We offer a free post-adoption health check with Greencross Vets at Chermside, Jindalee, Browns Plains or Kawana Waters hospitals. This gives you the opportunity to talk directly to the vet about any questions you may have. We provide all veterinary records for each dog, including copies of blood tests, any relevant X-rays and medical notes.
All Chihuahua Rescue Queensland dogs are desexed, vaccinated and microchipped. We test all our dogs for heartworm and treat them with regular parasite prevention.
MEDICAL NOTES
Taco has a heart murmur that does not currently require any medication but he could in the future, he also has Grade 2 luxating patellas that cause him no issues and he did not require surgery, he benefits from joint supplements.

Please note: we do not organise any meet and greet without a completed expression of interest form.
Our adoption process involves:
