About Archie
Hi, I’m Archie a 5 years and 6 months old Chihuahua and I really am the most adorable and cuddly boy for those I deem worthy!
Archie has come into care thru a private surrender
Archie has become very accustomed to living in the home and being pampered.
Archie is a lovely sedate little boy who would prefer to lie on a couch and watch others play rather than participate.
The rescue has said I'm a typical Chihuahua who likes who I like and don't like who I don't like but if you give me a chance and a home where I can settle and get used to the change but once I'm comfy (can take a couple of days) I will find my favorite person in the home and follow them around and get cuddles and you will see such a happy content boy.
I am 3.6kgs and stand about 20cms high (from my shoulder to my paws)
I am currently in foster care with some other fur siblings and while I tolerate all shapes and sizes my favorite friend is another Chihuahua so that would be pretty cool if you had a Chihuahua too or I would be very happy being an only child
I love spending my time either sitting on your lap or just following you around – yep two really different things but that is how I roll.
I am happy to be left home alone (or with a sibling) while you're out and about doing things or work part time etc but I would miss you if you were gone 8+ hours a day.
While you're at work earning the money or buying the food for me, I'm happy to either wander about the house (inside and out), or sleep on the couch or the bed - I'll just chill and wait for you.
I do love a good ride and love to be high enough that I can see out the window.
I am learning to walk on a lead but it's very baby steps on that one - however I'm happy to be carried or even a stroller while you walk!
I am not cat tested
I do sleep in my foster mum's bed and would very much like to continue doing that.
I also love sleeping on the couch and soft fluffy dog beds.
I would prefer a home with kids over the age of 13 - just younger kids make me nervous and unsure.
I have a lovely fluffy coat that does require regularly grooming or at least a good bath and brush often!
The rescue did send me to the vet and they said something about me being desexed (oh yeah and a dental scale and polish).

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.
