Frankie

Hi, I’m Frankie – your future running buddy, water splasher, and crate-loving cuddle queen!

I’m a gorgeous Rhodesian Ridgeback, and I have a lot to say — sometimes in little moans and groans that get louder if you pretend you can’t hear me. It’s my way of making sure you know when I need something… or someone. You see, I’m happiest when I always know where you are.

At night, I slip into my crate with no fuss — it’s my cozy safe place where I sleep soundly. But during the day? Well, that’s when my inner athlete comes out! I’d suit someone active or a home where I can stretch my legs and run at full speed. Watching me zoom is a joy in itself.

I love playing with other dogs — the more games, the better — and I’m a big fan of water. Beware: my drink breaks usually end up with me giving myself a paw wash and a cheeky splash to the face!

I’m good on a lead and will get even better with more practice. Most importantly, I’m ready for a home with someone who understands that I’ve had a past, and is patient enough to help me blossom into the best version of myself.

So… do you have a spot for me in your heart? I promise life will be a lot more fun with me in it.MEET & GREET
We encourage all adopters to meet their new addition before committing to adoption. This gives you a chance to see if the animal might be a good fit, and if a dog, to also introduce them to your other animals. Just like we don't expect all humans to get along, we expect the same for animals.

ADOPTION AGREEMENT
At CQASI our animals future is paramount and we want to see them put into their forever homes. Every detail on our agreement is used to ensure your home is suitable for a new addition, that you agree to the terms and conditions and we also use some of the info for owner transfer after the adoption trial period (mentioned further down)

HOME/YARD CHECK
All our cats are indoor/outdoor enclosure only so all house checks are done when your feline friend is being dropped off to join your household. If the barking variety is what you are looking at adding to your home then one of our volunteers will contact you to arrange a day/time for a yard check. This is to check your fencing is suitable, see where your new canine will be sleeping and just get a general feel for the home they will be going to. All our adoptions tend to be local, but we have connections all over QLD so are more than happy to consider all serious adoption enquiries. A house/yard check will be done if we can get a local member (if adoption enquiry is not Rockhampton based) to assist.

ADOPTION FEE
Adoption fee is to be paid prior to collecting your new family member. The adoption fee is used to cover the vet work your new addition received. This includes - but is not limited to Desexing, vaccination/s, microchipping, parasite treatment/prevention (heart worm testing for dogs only).

TWO WEEK TRIAL
All our animals have a two week trial period. This gives your new addition time to settle into your family life and to give you a chance to ensure they are exactly what you want. If they are not settling in then we will arrange to take them back into care and you will be refunded the adoption fee. If after the two weeks they are exactly what you wanted then we will send you all their paperwork including sterilisation certificate, vaccination certificate and microchip transfer form.

Our aim is a beautiful goodbye into their new home. We treat any potential adoption with the upmost care as the animals safety and welfare is our number one concern.
