Off The Chain K9 Rescue Qld

About

'You don't have to be an activist to make a difference.'

Based in South East Queensland, we rescue dogs from pound death in Queensland and New South Wales. We also take in the many dumped and unwanted dogs and puppies in the area and do try to help where we can, with owner-surrenders.

We also run a 'last litter' deal. If people have irresponsibly bred and want our help, we will take the entire litter in and desex their mother for free. This stops the cycle and helps to save the litter from being given away 'to good home only' without full vet work being done.

If you would like to get on board you can find us at www.facebook.com/offthechaink9. We are always seeking volunteers, admins and fosters, as well as help with emergency vet bills, and goods.

Adoption details

Before applying, please consider and finalise the following:
- Real estate approval
- Fence requirements
- Outside shelter areas
- Other resident pets fully vaccinated and preferably desexed
- The rescue pet's dietary requirements eg large breed vs medium breed, age

Once you are ready to adopt, please complete the OTC Adoption Application questionnaire below. This is not a contract or agreement of any kind, just an expression of interest in the animal. We will not authorise meets unless this has been completed and only approved applicants may meet the animal. Once you are approved and have submitted all relevant information, we will organise for you to meet the pet at your home, or in a public place. If you have other pets they must be at the meet. You may be required to travel to the pet; we infrequently have admins available to drive extensive distance and it also says a lot if someone is able yet unwilling to come to the animal they have applied for. If for example you cannot drive, feel free to talk with us about possibility of travel to you.

At the meet if you and the pet get along you have the option of either taking the pet on the spot (in exchange for signed contract and the full adoption fee paid upfront) or placing the pet on hold for up to 2 days with a $100 non-refundable holding deposit. This deposit is then taken off the original adoption fee should you proceed with the adoption. Should you place a hold, we will not proceed other applicants until you have removed your hold or adopted the animal.

*PLEASE NOTE we do not hold pets without a non-refundable holding deposit of $100. If you are unwilling to put a deposit on the pet, we will continue to advertise and speak with other potential adopters, so you may miss out. We have had to make the deposit is non refundable to avoid time-wasters. The $100 holding deposit is then subtracted from the outstanding adoption fee, which is to be paid at collection of the pet. Eg if full adoption fee is $450, and you place a $100 holding fee on the animal- the day you collect the pet you will sign an adoption contract and pay the remaining $350 fee of which $50 is non-refundable.

All animals are adopted out with vaccinations up to date; if for example you are adopting a young animal it may not have had a full protocol yet due to age- so any vaccinations due from date of adoption are the ethical and financial responsibility of the adopter. During the trial period, should the pet become ill, you must present it to the OTC-approved vet clinic in your area and OTC will cover any treatment needed.

So. Ready to roll? Then fill out the attached short form, and we will be in contact to successful applicants asap. Feel free to follow us up via Facebook page inbox.

Nala

Mastiff Mix Dog

Gentle giant

Hi, my name is Nala. I have recently come into care with OTC after being saved from the pound with my son Bam Bam. I am thriving in care and really enjoying all of the attention I am getting. As you can see from my photos I LOVE car rides, but not as much as I love sleeping. I really enjoy the time I get to spend with my humans and just adore them. I am really looking forward to spending the rest of my days with my forever family. I am a low maintenance, well mannered lady and will make someone very happy one day. If you are interested please message my rescue today. N x

Jessie

Wolfhound Dog

Looking for love

Hiya, I'm Jessie! I am a loving girl who adores learning and cuddles. I am crate trained so at bed time all my foster family have to say is "crate" and I walk into my crate and curl up and sleep through the night. My favourite toy is an Aussie ball. I love pushing it around the yard and do zoomies. I know my basic commands but am keen to learn lots more! If you think I would be a good fit into your family please contact my rescue today! J x

Kiki

Wolfhound Mix Dog

Looking for love

Hi! I am Kiki! I am an energetic, friendly and cuddly pup. I am loyal and protective but has moments where I needs some encouragement meeting new people. I love kids but it is recommended that they be a bit older as I am teething and in general a playful, excitable puppy. My perfect home would be a consistent home with rules as I am strong willed and will need firm but gentle guidance in order to be the best dog I can be. I am described by my foster as loveable and sweet and will easily steal your heart. If you are interested in me please contact my rescue today! K x

Arj

Great Dane x Staghound Mix Dog

Gentle and loving

Arj - male Dane mix, medium size Location: Toowoomba, QLD Age: 7 months (DOB 01/11/18) Adoption fee: $595 Desexed: Yes Vaccinated: Yes Microchipped: Yes Wormed: Yes Heartworm treated: Yes Hiya, the name is Arj. I came in from a rural pound after my owner abandoned me there. I am lucky enough to have went to a great pound that actively helps rehome dogs like me into rescues! Since coming into care I have been nothing but exceptional. Despite my estimated breed mix, I am small - I am almost fully grown, and only knee height! I am 19kg. I am a well mannered, happy go lucky guy. I love life and all who are around me - both human and fur friends. I have a lot of love to give and am really looking forward to what lies ahead with my future family. I currently live with a young family and get along great with their small child. I have also met toddlers and will quietly lay with them and am very conscious to not bump. I love other dogs, and sleep outside at night in a kennel. I know not to come inside (unfortunately my carer's landlord is very strict dogs outside only!) and even when my carer is walking through, I know now to come in. I am used to a full time working dad, and part time working mum and am happy being at home just with the other dog/s. I have been at home when there was a big BBQ on and I managed the noise and excitement very well, and remembered my manners. I currently live behind six foot fencing, so we aren't sure how I would go with shorter fencing. I love to go for car rides, and have even been in the back of a ute (with a safe harness!) which was a lot of fun. I know how to sit, wait, shake, 'uh-uh' if something I am doing is naughty, and I also know to sit and wait for food without being asked. I don't have any known phobias/fears, I am a very happy and curious but confident boy. My perfect home has another dog, a good fence and can walk me or take me out a few times a week for a run. I love to sniff and roll and play. If you think I would fit into your family well please contact my rescue today and lets meet! A x

Tess

American Staffordshire Bull Terrier Mix Dog

Child and dog friendly

Hey everyone! My name is Tess. Despite how happy and healthy I look now, I haven't always been loved. A while ago I lived with people who didn't want to feed me or care for me, and I was in terrible condition. Thankfully, I found my way to some beautiful people who fed me up and got me a place with OTC. Once in care, I had vaccinations, desex, microchip etc done. I am perfectly healthy and a happy little nugget of a dog. I currently live with a young child and two puppies (not my pups, just foster siblings). I am gentle and loving with all. I sleep outside on a deck, but am also well house trained so could easily be an inside dog if you wish. I love rope toys, and things like Kongs and puzzle toys that make me think. I don't mind car rides, and have no known phobias or fears. I am amazingly patient and gentle with children, and a great dog for letting you know there is someone in the yard/at the door. I am not aggressive but will definitely sound the alarm... great for anyone who wants someone to watch their back! If you want to skip the puppy phase but still have fun and someone who's crazily happy and enthusiastic, that's me. I haven't yet been tested with cats, so please don't try to make me live with any unless you are an experienced handler. I am used to 6ft fencing so hopefully my new home has similar. I am only a small chunk, just below knee height, and stocky. I am estimated to be born in December 2018 so should not grow much more at all.
