About Walter
Hi, My name is Walter and my foster mum says I'm just too cute
I am a 11 week old Chihuahua who came into care with my brother Walter thru a private surrender by the owner.
The rescue has made sure that we have had all our vet work completed so we are ready for our furever homes!
I currently weigh 2.1kgs
So a few practical things to get out of the way before we discuss more
1. Yes our bios are the same really – because we are all 11 week old pups still forming our personalities and cheekiness
2. Yes you can apply to meet my brother as well but you just need to make sure you put both our names on the application – just know that only one of us can be adopted per family so there is no littermate issues
3. We leave care at 12 weeks of age
The rescue has taken such good care of me and my brother and they say that we are loving little boys who while can be a bit nervous meeting new people once we are comfy watch our world as we are ready to live, love and play!
I love to have a cuddle with my human and would very happily spend hours being cuddled.
Walter and I play some times gently, sometimes rough and either my mum or my foster mum has to step in and remind us we are babies and to stop trying to audition for WWE.
The rescue has a rule of no siblings going together (littermate syndrome) I am definitely wanting a home where there is another dog to snuggle and play with. Ps they are also really good helping my socialization and I can follow them to get the ropes on what a ‘big dog’ does.
I have been learning to sit when I have my dinner and my foster mum says I’m getting there slowly... but you know I have siblings and something could be yummier in their bowl - food is a huge motivator to help us learn.
I currently live with all size dogs and ages (and temperaments) my foster mum says that I am definitely dog socialized, oh yeah and kid socialized too.
I am 90% toilet trained but I am still only 11 weeks old so you know, accidents may happen.
Currently my foster mum works from home a few days a week and the rest we spend our day having access inside and out playing to our hearts are content while she works – we do love being able to curl up in her office and have a snooze.
And when she's gone we play and play and play and then crash to sleep! We have even learned to be crated at night while we sleep but if you wanted us on your bed we would not complain.
Our foster mum was very proud that we learnt how to use the back door so quickly – hell yeah it meant at our bedtime we could run outside and keep playing with the other dogs – she just shakes her head now and says okay when you’re tired you will crash and I’ll come sort you out (sometimes we sleep with the bigger dogs for a bit but then we go into our crates happily).
I am not cat tested but I’m also really young so this is something that should be easily taught to me (don’t chase)
I love to have a play outside in the grass (wet as well) and then come in and have a good cuddle

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

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.
