Belle

Hello! All you Dachshund Lovers!! My name is Belle.

I am a sweet & somewhat timid little lady when meeting people for the first time. I am an indoor girl who loves to chase flies, catch the morning sun and snuggle under blankets as I feel the cool weather more than most. I am great with most cats and small dogs, but I am very scared of bigger dogs. Children under 12 are not for me.

I do suffer from an skin allergy to grass which is being treated by a sensitive skin dog wash. I may need steroids in the future. I do like to sit outside with my humans but will cry the house down if I am left outside.

Being home alone or with a dog friendly cat doesn’t bother me as my foster mum and dad work fulltime. I enjoy car rides and little walks as long as you bath me when we get home. I am truly just the sweetest little lady and if you take the time to know me you will not be disappointed.

My ideal ‘furever family’ would be a retired couple who have all the time to shower me with love and would like a snuggle buddy in their bed. The home would have a safe place for me to hide when the grandchildren, family & friends come to visit. I am not antisocial just really scared of new people.

Are you the ‘Furever Family’ I am looking for?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.
