Hi friends! My name is Oliver. My siblings and I were dumped on a footpath but fate brought us to the right place- and now I am looking for my happy furever after!
My foster carer has worked hard to help me gain weight and begin to overcome my fear of humans. I get along with other dogs and my human sibling who is a 7yr old child. I'm an energetic pup who's still working on my house training, but I'm eager to please and pick things up quickly. I am used to a part-time work household. I currently spend most of my time outside as it's where I am most comfortable. I am slowly adjusting to coming inside, but with so many Aussie rentals not allowing inside animals, I may suit someone who can only have an outside dog, as that's what I'm most used to anyway. You'd just need to ensure I had adequate shelter in the heat, cold, rain and mozzies- and of course, spend time with me outside. I’m not a lawn ornament!
Though I’m a happy and playful pup now, my past hasn’t been easy. I came into care after being starved and mistreated, which has left me a little unsure of new people at first. But with the care and patience of my foster family, I’m learning to trust again. I warm up quickly once I feel safe and loved. Because of what I've been through, I need an adopter who is patient, confident, and willing to help me continue building my trust in humans. With the right love and understanding, I know I’ll thrive in a home that gives me the time and care I need to feel secure. Another dog in the home would also be great for companionship and reassurance.
I would love to go on adventures with you 3-4 times a week—running, sniffing, rolling around, and going for daily walks or runs! Myself and my siblings are a mixed breed; I’m a Staffy x for sure, quite small yet, and so I’ll likely grow to be a medium-large size, probably around 22-25kg.
I’d do best in a yard with a 5ft fence or higher, just to make sure I’m not tempted to wander as I grow. So far, I haven’t made any attempts to leave the yard however. As a young dog, those early weeks of adoption will be key for getting my routine and training down!
If you're ready to offer me that patient, loving home, I promise I’ll reward you with loyalty and affection, and lots of snuggles. If you’ve read this far, there’s a reason- maybe I’m the one for you! Apply to adopt me now, and let’s start our adventure together!
Ps- unsure about my name? Well, feel free to change it if you adopt me (most dogs learn new names fast)

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
- Enrichment, exercise and training needs of pet you are applying for
- If you have not read our adoption process below in full, please do not apply until you have.
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. We will not contact you if you do not complete the form in full AND provided the required photos of yard/fencing within 48hrs. Photos may be sent to our facebook page, or email offthechaink9rescue@outlook.com
DOG ADOPTION APPLICATION: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/OTCadoptionapp
If you apply to adopt but require us to hold the pet more than 3 days before meeting, we will ask you for 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. This holding deposit will be subtracted from the adoption fee should you adopt the animal on hold for you.
Ready to roll? Then fill out the application form, and we will be in contact to successful applicants asap. Feel free to follow us up via Facebook page inbox. (www.facebook.com/offthechaink9)

NEED TRANSPORT?
1. Apply to adopt per the above process.
2. Get quotes and select your desired transporter. We recommend Aeropets, Jetpets, and Dogtainers. Contact us for weights, height etc where needed. We also recommend Pet Waggin pet transport who can assist with road transport.
3. Message or email us to say you have applied and that you will require transport. Tell us which company and a potential departure date from that pet's nearest airport or meet point.
4. If your application is successful, we will lock in a date with you, coordinate any required 'fit to fly' certifications, a food delivery to your home, and appropriate training to make your new pet as comfortable on transport as possible.
5. All adoption contracts, adoption fees, and photo ID must be submitted to us via email before animal boards transport.
We will take into consideration the pet's ability to travel safely and comfortably before agreeing to send them on transport, and expect a high level of care from whatever company is engaged to move the animal.
