About Dolly
Hello, my name is Dolly and I'm looking for my forever humans.
I am a gorgeous 8 month and 2 week old Maltese x Shih Tzu who has come into care due to a personal reason from my owner
I came into care a little nervous and unsure of other dogs, I was only used to one other............ well now my foster mum has said somehow she doesn't think I will go back into the 'box' I came in - my confidence levels are high and I'm such a happy girl.
I love to play and love to be with my humans.
I currently live in a home where one of my humans works from home and the other goes to work, I love having my foster mum home and even love it more when my foster dad comes home and gives me a cuddle.
I'm a small white fluffy dog so of course i would love a home where someone is home working, not needing to work, stay home parent, shift worker etc etc.
I currently weigh 4.1kgs
I am currently living with lots of other dogs (big and small) and once I get over being nervous around them I love it!!! I love to play and wrestle and play chase, tug of wars is fun and just basically hanging out with my fur siblings and loving life.
I also do love to snuggle up with them thru the day when it's nap time.
I love my food and treats
I have lived with kids and had no issues with them - I mean more attention for me!
I am untested with a cat but my foster mum says she thinks I will simply want to make friends with them
I have a favorite toy that I love to play with, its from Kmart called a Multi Squeak Bear - my foster mum has stocked up on a couple of these as my foster siblings and I did a tug of war the other day and it didn't quite hold up to the game, I was pretty sad so she got me a few more..... but I will be happily with different toys as well as I love playing with them.
I love to have a run around out in the yard with my foster siblings
I have just started working on lead work I am a typical pup who can tangle myself within a minute but I will do it with a smile on my face and a twinkle in my eye!
I do also enjoy a good snooze preferably on my humans bed. I sleep with my humans on their bed and would love to continue that.
I will take myself out to the toilet if the door is open but I have been known to make mistakes occasionally when the door was shut - I can use a doggy door and my foster mum asks that i please not try and go thru it at 100klms per hour but others do soooooooooo you know.............
My ideal home would be where I can be inside as much as I want and have access outside for lady business and some play and sunbaking. I would not enjoy being a dog that would be expected to spend hours outside by myself.
I would also love a home with another small breed dog who wants to play and be my friend.
I do have a coat that requires regular grooming so please make sure that you do remember that it’s a life time of grooming.
I am looking for that forever home that will love me and I can love you – are you that home?

Adoption details
Paw Prints Canine Rescue is a non for profit dog rescue located in Southeast Queensland.
All our dogs leave our care with full vet work (up-to-date vaccinated, microchipped, desexed, heart worm and intestinal wormed and flea treated).
Please note - They will not leave for their new homes until they are 12 weeks of age and have been desexed, micro-chipped and vaccinated up to date.
Please note - we are not a pound or have kennels - all our dogs stay in foster carers homes and therefore dogs are not able to be simply viewed - only approved applicants will meet the dogs.
Please Note: We do not hold any animals so please only apply if you are ready to adopt now
Please note - We don't take calls on adoption enquiries - an application must be completed
We can also be found at https://www.facebook.com/pawprintscanine/
Complete the following adoption enquiry link
https://goo.gl/forms/PqpkCcE89ikDR2Lw1
Once an adoption enquiry is completed our admin team will assess the application and if successful we will arrange for a meet and greet to be completed. We may also request photos of your yard for consideration of your application. Please note that we will do no more than 3 meet and greets per dog.
Approved applicants will be contacted to arrange a time for a meet & greet via email. You must bring your current dog along to the meeting if you are meeting another dog/puppy, this is to ensure they get along before commencing adoption - proof of your dogs up-to-date vaccination is required before any meet and greet is arranged.
Our adoption fee must be cleared in our bank account before any animal is available for pick up. Please note we bank with ANZ - any other bank may take 48 hours to process the monies.
Paw Prints Canine Rescue has a 10 day trial period – this basically means that if for any reason the adoption does not work out and the dog needs to be returned to us, the adoption fee minus an admin fee (minimum is $250) will be returned to the adoptees via bank transfer within 7 working days.
Please note that if an interstate adoption needs to be returned or regional adoption all transport cost with be paid by the adopter.
Please also note while this can be a very exciting time for everyone, it can also be an overwhelming time for dogs and we ask that you do try and allow your new family member to settle in their new home and adjust
INTERSTATE ADOPTIONS **
Any transport costs are to be paid by the adopting family, however we can assist you in helping with transport to airports etc.
** Please note some of our dogs are not available for interstate adoption
AFTER THE TRIAL PERIOD
After the 10 day trial period is completed Paw Prints Canine will send out all relevant paperwork for your new furbaby via email including the transfer of microchip form.
