Raphael

Hello! dog lovers, my name is Raphael, & I am a ‘Princely Obedient Gentleman’!

My carers call me Raff Raff. When called I come immediately, as one never knows what special treat could be waiting for me. Despite being very handsome & princely young man I am not a vain or jealous doggie. My best feature being my never-ending smile.

I am great with children, cats, other dogs & perhaps most important I am house trained. My manners are impeccable. I will not enter the home unless invited and will always come when called. I’m a good guard dog and I don’t bark unnecessarily.

My favorite things are cuddling up on your lap, going on car rides & having a full pamper session. Being bathed and groomed is so, so relaxing. I don’t stress when left at home, but my big eyes and smile on your return are all you need to know that I missed you.

My only flaw is that I am a little social butterfly. Wanting to be chatty with all who pass by [human or animal] has led to my being a bit of an escaped artist. So, it is imperative for my safety that you have very good fencing.

Most importantly, with me all the hard work is done. I am obedient, housetrained & friendly to all.
All thats left for you is to take a little time out of your day to meet me. I promise you will not be disappointed and your heart is guaranteed to melt at first sight.

If you think you are my ‘furever home’, please apply to adopt me!MEET & GREET
We encourage all adopters to meet their new addition before committing to adoption. This gives you a chance to see if the animal might be a good fit, and if a dog, to also introduce them to your other animals. Just like we don't expect all humans to get along, we expect the same for animals.

ADOPTION AGREEMENT
At CQASI our animals future is paramount and we want to see them put into their forever homes. Every detail on our agreement is used to ensure your home is suitable for a new addition, that you agree to the terms and conditions and we also use some of the info for owner transfer after the adoption trial period (mentioned further down)

HOME/YARD CHECK
All our cats are indoor/outdoor enclosure only so all house checks are done when your feline friend is being dropped off to join your household. If the barking variety is what you are looking at adding to your home then one of our volunteers will contact you to arrange a day/time for a yard check. This is to check your fencing is suitable, see where your new canine will be sleeping and just get a general feel for the home they will be going to. All our adoptions tend to be local, but we have connections all over QLD so are more than happy to consider all serious adoption enquiries. A house/yard check will be done if we can get a local member (if adoption enquiry is not Rockhampton based) to assist.

ADOPTION FEE
Adoption fee is to be paid prior to collecting your new family member. The adoption fee is used to cover the vet work your new addition received. This includes - but is not limited to Desexing, vaccination/s, microchipping, parasite treatment/prevention (heart worm testing for dogs only).

TWO WEEK TRIAL
All our animals have a two week trial period. This gives your new addition time to settle into your family life and to give you a chance to ensure they are exactly what you want. If they are not settling in then we will arrange to take them back into care and you will be refunded the adoption fee. If after the two weeks they are exactly what you wanted then we will send you all their paperwork including sterilisation certificate, vaccination certificate and microchip transfer form.

Our aim is a beautiful goodbye into their new home. We treat any potential adoption with the upmost care as the animals safety and welfare is our number one concern.
