About Minnie
You won’t know you needed a chihuahua in your life till you meet this little legend!
Minnie is a just shy 5 year old chihuahua and weighs in at 3.1kgs
Minnie is a tiny bundle of love, ready to snuggle her way into your heart.
She’s a sweet, gentle, and affectionate little Chihuahua who lives for cuddles and quality time with her favorite humans.
Minnie has had her all vet work completed since coming into care and now she's ready for her furever home.
Like a lot of chihuahua's she can be nervous when meeting new people, but once confident Minnie becomes a confident little girl in her home, who is happy to be carried around and likes to be treated like a little princess that she can be.
Minnie is currently with other dogs of all sizes and ages (and temperaments) and whilst has no problems with them or would be very happy being an only dog or with one other small breed dog who is also happy to do their own thing at times.
Minnie is toilet trained and will happily use a doggy door or if door left open will happily take herself out to do ladies business when needed.
Minnie would also be a awesome apartment furkid as running around outside is not her thing.
Minnie does love to accompany her humans on adventures and go for small walks - she loves to be with her humans. Minnie walks well on a lead, especially when following other small dogs. Or would happily be carried in a bag or a pram - she is a princess after all!
Minnie is a very quiet little lady who will only voice her opinion in a small bark if you are ignoring her and she wants to be picked up and carried.
Minnie currenlty lives with a 10 year old boy and absolutely loves that he picks her up and cuddles her and snuggles with her on the bed whilst watching tv. She would happily with kids but as she likes to be carried we recommend 10 and over simply for safety when carrying her.
Her ideal home would be where she can be inside as much as she likes but still have access to outside for her lady business. Minnie would not cope as a dog expected to spend long periods outside.
Minnie's idea of sunbaking is in front of a heater turned on, but don't try and put clothes / jackets on Minnie she is not a fan!!
Minnie does like to sleep on the bed snuggled into a soft blanket (not a diva at all) and will happily sleep the night away (and if allowed the day!)
Minnie is not tested with cats - but most would be bigger then her so she would probably ignore.
Are you looking for a princess to come into your life ?

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 don't take calls on adoption enquiries - an application must be completed

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 - each bio will state if available for adoption - please check before applying.
