Luke Male staffy x Desexed: Yes Vaccinated: Yes c5 Worm/heartworm/flea/tick treated: Yes Microchipped: Yes Adoption fee: $195 DOB: approx 4yr old Location: Ipswich Q Hi everyone! My name is Luke. I was rescued from a council pound; my owners had to move towns and didn't take me with. Thankfully, my poundies helped me and my other poundmate Lari, get to safety with OTC! I have been an absolute pleasure to care for since coming to OTC. My prior family definitely took great care of me as I seem very at home on a couch snuggled up watching telly. I am no stranger to belly rubs and toys, and am just a really easy going dog. I currently live as a single dog, however I do get along with other dogs well. I haven't yet been tested with cats. I travel well in the car, and just sit quietly watching. At the vet, I let them do what they need to do and don't mind being poked and prodded. My current carer works part time hours, so I am used to being home alone at times. I have met kids and was lovely with them. My ideal home will let me sleep inside at night, has a 5ft+ fence to keep me safe, and will take me out 3 or 4 times a week for adventures/exercise. I would like to live with other dogs, but am ok on my own as long as you will let me be a part of the family. I am fully grown and 23kg. I know sit, lay, and shake, and am learning inside/outside. If you're looking for a loving, snuggly, happy boy, I'm the one you need. Apply to meet me today; I won't last long!

Breed: wolfhound x DOB 10/01/2019 Desexed: Yes Vaccinated: Yes Microchipped: Yes Worm/tick/flea treated: Yes Location: Brisbane Adoption fee $595 Hey everyone! My name is Kane, from Hawaiian origin meaning "warrior". Why? Because I fought my way from bad health and abandonment and have come out on top, a healthy and happy boy. My owner abandoned me in the pound, and we don't know why. I am a really well mannered, loving boy - I guess the disposable culture we have these days meant I was disposable too? I was a bit malnourished and dirty, so much so that the hair on my face fell out!! I ran out of time in the council pound and should have been put to sleep- but they pulled strings to keep me - I was far too well mannered to be put down!! OTC finally had a space for me and collected me and all my poundie friends. What a happy day it was when we all landed to safety in Qld! Once OTC came for me, I learned what love and care was like. I am gentle and eager to please, and lapped up every second of the love. The hair on my face grew back, and I got to a healthy weight. How sad that at just 6 months old I was in this condition - but I never let it get me down!! I am super dog friendly, and good with kids. I'm super clumsy and funny; I like to use my paws to play, and often 'do the Lion King' with other dogs, aka standing on my back legs, pawing and awooooing with them. I am so fun and funny to watch! I am brave at the vet, and great in the car. I just sit there and watch the world fly by. I am currently sleeping either outside on the verandah on a dog hammock with the others, or if I want to I sleep in the loungeroom. My toilet training is going great! I chew those cheap stuffed beds, so definitely need just a hammock bed and blanket- I seem more comfortable on them anyway. My current carers both work full time and I just hang out in the yard with the other dogs. I live behind a 4ft fence which seems to keep me in just fine, so my ideal home has either 4ft or higher. I have lived with a small breed dog, large breed dogs, cats and ducks. I get along great with all of them, but the cats hated me haha they're so funny and I just want to sniff them!! I love rope toys, bouncey balls and squeaky toys. I know sit, wait and shake, and am a bit scared of thinks like mops and brooms... I will bail and hang out in the yard until you are finished with those scary things! I would fit easily into most homes. I just need someone with a decent fence, who can take me out a few times a week to see the world, and has another dog friend for company while you're away. I am almost fully grown and only 25kg... I am a med-large boy with long hair like a wolfhound and the same goofy, adoring temperament. I eat a normal puppy food (currently Blackhawk Puppy, around $5/kg) and it is keeping me healthy and happy. We aren't sure what exact breed I am, but it really doesn't matter! One vet said maybe arab, one said collie... not that it means anything. I am almost fully grown and have proven myself to be a beautiful and gentle dog, and that's what matters. I can't wait to find my happy ending. If you think that's with you - please message my rescue, Off The Chain K9 Rescue Qld now!!

Stacey Female Mastiff x DOB 02/05/2019 Vaccinated: Yes C5 Microchipped: Yes Desexed: Yes Worm, tick, flea, heartworm up to date: Yes Adoption fee: $495 Location: Toowoomba 4350 Hi everyone! My name is Macey, my sister Stacey and I came into care after our breeder couldn't sell us and finally asked for some help rehoming us responsibly. Are we one heck of a success story or WHAT! While we are very friendly and gentle girls, we were absolutely terrified. At 5 months of age, we had never left our breeder's yard, never been in a car, never met other humans besides our family, never been inside, never been to a vet... so as you can imagine, everything was absolutely terrifying to us!! We were so scared we shut down and couldn't walk, and had to be carried inside... The first two days in care, we hid and shook mostly. Thankfully my carers were patient and coaxed us with treats and snuggle time. I was very brave at the vet, and let them do what they had to do. After they checked me out, and found I was a very healthy and lovely girl, I was split from my sister. We were relying on each other too much see, and it was time for us to stand on our own four paws. Without my sister to rely on, my confidence is growing by the day! While I do seek reassurance from my carer and prefer to have a safe space to return to if needed, I don't have the same soul-crippling fear I once had. I have at all times been gentle and trusting, and have a world of opportunity in front of me. I mostly prefer a calm and predictable environment as things such as unexpected noises or unfamiliar surroundings can make me a little nervous but I am being introduced to new things by my carer all the time in a safe and positive way. I am a lover of pats and cuddles, and will follow my carers as they potter around the yard. I never knew what the word “play” meant before I came into care but my two canine foster siblings have taken me under their guiding paws and have been teaching me to play fetch. Sometimes I struggle with the concept of picking up and object but I’m happy to join in on the fun of running. So far I have learned sit, on your bed, out, and stay but I am a keen learner who would love to continue training. At night I sleep outside under the patio, with the other dogs. We have our own beds out there. I enjoy being inside when I’m allowed and will sometimes sneak inside if the door isn’t locked. I seem to be pretty naturally house trained, so as long as you're willing to continue to teach me, I should be ok as an inside dog too! My current fence is 6ft though I would most likely be ok with shorter fences as I have don’t seem to have no desire to escape my safe place. So what do you think? Could you love me? I know I could love you... please apply to meet me asap!!

Lari - female Catahoula x Desexed: Yes DOB: 03/04/2017est Vaccinated: Yes to a c5 standard Microchipped: Yes Worm/heartworm treated: Yes Flea/tick treated: Yes Location: Toowoomba 4350 Adoption fee: $495 Hi, my name is Lari. I'm so glad you have stumbled across my profile. Let me tell you a little about myself... I was rescued by Off The Chain from death row in a council pound. I was unbelievably thin, and had bad fleas- I was literally skin and bone. We don't know what kind of monster owned me, or why they dumped me, but it's the best thing that ever happened to me! Since coming into care I have really flourished. My carers had to feed me 4 small meals a day so that I didn't get sick from refeeding. Despite all this, I am a gentle, sweet girl. I have no sign of food aggression, but as with all dogs, my carers don't leave bowls and bones out. I also will have no long term affects from my neglect!! I have amazing luck and am never looking back. I am gaining more confidence as time goes on. I do still get scared at times and just need positive reinforcement. Things like, loud noises, or the clicking of the professional camera, can make me a bit edgy but if you just tell me it's ok, I come round quickly. I trust and love my humans. I currently sleep outside on the patio at night, and am learning new things everyday. I live with 2 other adult female dogs- one of them is Elastica, another large breed and starved dog rescued by OTC (so don't worry if in my photos you see a really thin black and white dog- she is safe and recovering with us!). The other is a staffy x who my carers adopted...and ALL 3 of us came from the same pound in regional Qld. How crazy is that! We get along great and often sunbake together. I love having doggy friends and will definitely need one in my new furever home. I know basic commands and LOVE learning. I live with a young family and love them to pieces. Their 8yo son is so much fun to play with, and so is my little 5yo human friend as well. I travel well in the car, and am easy to handle at the vet clinic and during baths. I currently live behind 6ft fencing, and would need that fencing or some sort of electronic system, in my new home also. I enjoy going to the park or for walks 3x a week. I have not met cats or livestock. If you're looking for a golden-eyed, gentle and friendly girl who will repay your love with constant friendship and loyalty- I am your girl. Please if I sound like a good fit for your family contact my rescue today. I am ready for my new life. Love, L x

Female Breed: Arab x Mastiff D.O.B: 15/11/2018 Location: Toowoomba Desexed: Yes Vaccinations: Up to date Microchipped: Yes Flea/Tick/Worm: Up to date Adoption Fee: $395 Hi, my name is Bonnie! I am new to OTC and would love to find a new family to call mine! Here is a little bit about me! I know commands like sit, wait, inside, outside, shake, and bed. I like food, walks, toys, tug o war, bones, LOVE the dog park and driving in the car. I love to sunbake and roll in the grass. I currently sleep inside at night on my bed, and am well behaved inside. I am regularly home alone as my fosters work, and I go fine. My foster says I do funny things like sit on their feet, roll around when I'm super excited and makes a little high pitch squeal when I'm realllly excited! I am a gentle, goofy girl. Cute things I do include sleeping with my paw over my nose and curling up in a little ball. I get along great with other dogs, but haven't met cats yet. I lived with several other dogs before moving to my current foster home and loved them all. My ideal owner would be someone who can take me out 4 times a week for walks or park trips. Someone who will let me inside as part of the family or who will hang with me on the deck or in the yard. If you have another dog, awesome! If not, that's ok too. I would be ok to sleep inside or outside at night. I am an easy going, gentle girl who really deserves a loving family. If that's you, please contact my rescue asap. I can't wait to find my furever home!
