About Locky
Locky is a sweetheart that loves nothing more than to be close to his person. Always on your lap or beside you on the couch. He is a cuddle bug with a spicy side that comes forth now and again - a typical chihuahua! But he does communicate with you if he’s not happy about something…
He loves playing with his toy and will carry it around the house. He will even fetch it when you ask him where it is.
He loves going on car rides and walking on leash. He is toilet trained but will need more help using the doggy door. Locky is good with small dogs and older kids, but not tested with cats. He has impeccable dinner time manners and enjoys his food.
Medical notes
Five year-old Locky is desexed and microchipped. He is up-to-date with vaccinations as well as flea, tick, intestinal worm and heartworm prevention.
Locky recently had a dental and had several extractions. He will need to have regular dental checks in the future. He also has grade 1 luxating patellas but they don’t bother him at all and he doesn’t need surgery. He would benefit from starting on a joint support supplement to help as he ages.
He has had a full health check including bloods and he is otherwise a healthy young boy.
Adoption details
Chihuahua Rescue QLD Inc. is not a first to apply rescue group.We re-home our dogs based on the best possible family we can find them.
The first step to adopting a dog from us is to fill out an expression of interest form.
We encourage you to provide as much detail as possible about your family and your home as this helps us make sure we match you with the most suitable dog.
This form can be found at the following address: http://www.emailmeform.com/builder/form/Kczrs885x4lq3N9u4mQhca
Due to the large volume of inquiries we are unable to respond to all applications. If you are considered suitable for the dog you have applied for you will be contacted witihin one week of applying.
Please note: we do not organise any meet and greet without a completed expression of interest form.
Our adoption process involves:
1) Completing online application form - only shortlisted applicants will be contacted.
2) Arranging a meet and greet with the dogs foster carer, after which we ask you to take 24 hours to make a decision about whether you want to adopt this dog
3) A brief home visit and yard check from one of our volunteers
4) Adoption trial spanning four weeks.
We ask that you pay the dogs adoption fee at the beginning of the adoption trial, however this will be refunded if for any reason the dog is not working out in your home within the four week period. We offer a four week adoption trial to make sure that you have plenty of time for your new dog to settle into your home and so we can offer you full support during this period and beyond.
We offer a free health check with our vets at Browns Plains, Jindalee or Kedron vet clinic after you’ve adopted your dog and every dog in our care is up to date with all vet work.
