About Zara
🐾💜 Hello there, I'm Zara 💜🐾
If you’re looking for the bestest friend you could ever find… I might just be your girl! 🐾💜
I absolutely LOVE being part of whatever my people and doggo friends are doing. Whether you’re doing chores, relaxing on the couch or wandering around the house, I’m happiest right there with you. If you’re busy, I’ll switch to following my “big sister” around instead - I love watching her, copying what she does and having a good rough-and-tumble with the other dogs!
I’m a clever girl who’s eager to please, although I can have a little bossy streak with my doggo friends and sometimes need a reminder about my manners. 😅 I’ve met cats too and mostly pay them no mind. I follow their cues and have already worked out that they’re definitely the bosses!
New things can be a bit scary for me at first. Even looking outside at night had me spooked until I realised everything was okay! The lead has been another big challenge - it scared me stiff at first, but with patience and encouragement I’m making progress. 💜
My crate was a completely different story! I quickly decided it was my safe little space and happily take myself in when I need to - or when I know dinner is coming! 😂
At heart, I’m a relaxed, happy and affectionate girl who just wants some wonderful friends to share my life with. Give me a little patience while I learn about the big wide world, and I promise I’ll be one very loyal best friend in return. 💜🐾

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.
