About Zippy
Well it's time for Mr Zippy to find he's forever home.
He's a loving dog. He currently lives with other small dogs, however he prefers the company of the girl dog, and he would prefer someone who’s home a lot of the time.
Zippy is very loving and is shy when you first meet him, but once he is familiar with the family he will love all of you. He can sit and will stay until you give him a treat and dinner. He loves to chase a stick but does not bring it back.
He pull a little on the lead at the beginning of the walk due to excitement, but will calm down and walks well with the other dogs. He does guard his dinner, so may need to be fed separately, but he’s fine around treats.
Would be suited with kids over 10 years old as he hasn’t been introduced to any younger children. He’s not a fussy eater, he loves his food. He also loves to give kisses and loves to cuddle on the lounge and in the bed.
Medical notes
6-year-old Zippy is desexed and microchipped. He is up-to-date with vaccinations as well as flea, tick, intestinal worm and heartworm prevention.
Zippy has had extensive dental work done, with several extractions and we recommend that he have a regular dental check at the vet.
He has mild patella luxation in his right hind leg, but shows no signs of lameness or discomfort and is therefore not a candidate for surgery at this stage, however he may need this in the future.
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.
