Hi, I’m Lola – your best friend in the making! I may be little, but my name carries a lot of meaning. I was rescued on ANZAC Day after being abandoned in the bush with my siblings. We were too young to survive on our own, but thanks to some kind campers and Off The Chain K9 Rescue Qld, we were saved just in time.
Because of the day we were rescued, I am named in honour of a true lifesaver—Lola, a rescue dog who became a Defence Community Assistance Dog. She was trained by inmates as part of a rehabilitation program, and went on to support a Navy Veteran living with PTSD. Her gentle, loyal presence helped him through his darkest days—and he says she genuinely saved his life. I’m proud to carry her name and hope I can bring just as much joy and comfort to someone of my own.
Now, I’m living in a warm and loving foster home, getting ready for my next adventure: finding my forever family.
I’m an energetic little pup with a big heart and an even bigger zest for life. I love to play, explore, and keep busy—and I’d absolutely thrive in a home with another friendly dog who can be my partner in fun and show me the ropes! I currently live with other dogs who I get along well with, and at night I sleep in a crate. I can be a bit anxious if left alone in the crate at night, but that is something that we can work on together.
Right now, I’m in my teenage phase, which means I’m full of energy, curiosity, and yes—a little bit cheeky! I love to chew (it helps me learn and soothe my growing teeth), and I’m constantly looking for things to investigate or play with. I’m smart, so I need a home that will keep me mentally stimulated with toys, training games, and regular enrichment. I’ll do best with someone who understands that puppies need time, patience, and positive guidance to become their best selves.
The vet believes I’m partially deaf—I can hear higher-pitched and louder sounds, but I don’t always respond to quieter noises. The good news is, this doesn’t slow me down at all! Dogs naturally rely on their eyes and noses more than their ears, and I’m a great visual learner. You can help me thrive by using hand signals, routine, and positive reinforcement. There are even vibrating collars (not shock collars!) that can be used kindly to get my attention if needed. With clear, consistent communication, I’ll learn just as quickly as any other pup—maybe faster, since I love food and praise!
I’m working hard on my toilet training, learning all about inside-outside life, and basic commands. I’d love a home with space to run, a secure yard, and a family who’ll include me in their daily adventures. I’m still young, so having someone to help guide me as I grow would be perfect.
If you’re looking for a smart, sweet pup who’s ready to learn and love with all her heart—I’d love to meet you. 💛
My perfect home looks like…
🐾 A playful, confident doggy sibling to keep me company and show me the ropes
🐾 A secure backyard where I can stretch my legs, explore, and burn off energy
🐾 A family who understands puppyhood—chewing, zoomies, and all!
🐾 Someone who will keep my clever brain busy with training, enrichment, and fun challenges
🐾 A calm, consistent routine with visual cues and hand signals to help me thrive with my partial hearing
🐾 Lots of love, patience, and positive vibes while I grow into the amazing dog I’m meant to be 💛
If you're looking for a sweet, smart girl with loads of potential and a big heart, I’d love to meet you!

- The rescue pet's dietary requirements eg large breed vs medium breed, age
- Enrichment, exercise and training needs of pet you are applying for

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.
