About Chilli
👑 Meet Chilli – The Little Princess Who's Ready for Her Happily Ever After 👑
After spending her early years as a breeding girl, beautiful Chilli is finally ready for the life she's always deserved—a life filled with soft beds, warm blankets, loving humans, gentle walks and endless cuddles.
At 3 years and 8 months old, this gorgeous Dachshund weighs approximately 10kg and is the sweetest little soul you'll ever meet. Chilli is a true princess at heart who is now looking for a forever family that will cherish her, spoil her with love, and make her feel like the centre of their world.
🩷 A Gentle Little Lady
Chilli has a calm, relaxed nature and is happiest when she's close to her people. Once she's had her daily stroll, she's more than content to spend the rest of the day curled up beside you on the couch, wrapped snugly in a blanket while you watch TV.
Walk time is one of her favourite parts of the day, and she'll happily stroll 1–2km on lead before heading home for what she believes is the most important part of life... cuddles!
🛏️ Professional Blanket Burrower
If there's a soft blanket, comfy dog bed, couch or human bed nearby, you'll almost certainly find Chilli there. She adores being warm, cosy and as close to her family as possible.
She sleeps cuddled up with her doggy friends but would be just as happy snuggled beside her humans every night. After all, she's waited a long time to experience what being a loved family member feels like.
🧸 Toys, Tummies & Tiny Dachshund Joy
Chilli has the sweetest little personality. She loves collecting her favourite toy each day and proudly carries it around the house as if she's showing everyone her prized possession. She won't necessarily want you to throw it—she simply enjoys having it close by.
In the evenings you'll usually find her curled up on someone's lap or rolling onto her back with those irresistible puppy-dog eyes, politely requesting a belly rub. She truly thrives on affection and simply wants to be included in whatever her family is doing.
🐾 Living With Chilli
Chilli is toilet trained and happily uses a doggy door, although she may have the occasional accident indoors during wet weather. She isn't crate trained but settles beautifully when she has the comfort of her family nearby.
She can become vocal if left alone for long periods, so she'd love a home where someone is around more often than not. She's still learning that being alone isn't scary, and with patience, consistency and plenty of enrichment toys, she's continuing to build confidence.
She can also become a little nervous when people stand up suddenly or when there's lots of loud noise or fast movement around her, so she'd be happiest in a quieter household where life is calm and predictable.
🐶 Friends & Family
Chilli enjoys the company of other small dogs and loves having a cuddle buddy. She'll happily play with them but is also perfectly content being the only dog, provided her humans have plenty of love and attention to give. She's much more of a people girl than anything else.
Because she can become overwhelmed by loud noises and busy environments, we feel she'd be best suited to a home with older children or teenagers who understand how to be gentle and respectful around a sensitive little dog.
She has not been tested with cats or other small animals.
💕 The Home Chilli Dreams About
More than anything, Chilli is searching for the family she has never truly had.
She deserves mornings spent stretching out in a warm dog bed, afternoons enjoying leisurely walks, evenings curled up on the couch beside her favourite people, and nights sleeping peacefully knowing she's finally safe, loved and home forever.
If you've been looking for a loyal little shadow with a heart full of love, Chilli may just be the princess you've been waiting for.
She doesn't ask for much—just a comfortable bed, plenty of cuddles, gentle patience, and a family who will adore her for the rest of her life.
Could your home be the happily ever after this beautiful little girl has been waiting for? ❤️

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.
