Meet Linguine!
Linguine's story didn't begin the way any puppy's should. At just five weeks old, she and her siblings were abandoned in a cardboard box in the middle of nowhere, absolutely riddled with fleas and dehydrated. A good samaritan found them and brought them to a clinic who rang us for help.
Fortunately, that awful day is now a distant memory! Thanks to lots of 'TLC' from OTC and the incredible dedication of her foster carer, Linguine has grown into a happy, confident little girl with a real zest for life. She has a great personality and her foster says she loves to play, wrestle and sleep in very 'unique' positions...
Linguine is affectionate and sweet, but she's also outgoing, playful and has a cheeky streak that's guaranteed to keep her future family on their toes! She's the sort of pup who likes to be involved in whatever is happening and isn't afraid to show off a little personality along the way. She's been growing up in a busy foster household, with different people and routines throughout the day, giving her a wonderful introduction to the hustle and bustle of the everyday family's life. Her foster carer has worked incredibly hard to give her the best possible foundations, and we're looking for a family who will continue that great work.
Linguine has medium to high energy levels and will be happiest with an active, involved family who can offer plenty of exercise, enrichment, playtime and adventures. She'll need ongoing training, guidance and consistency as she matures, along with a comfortable place to sleep inside at night. Linguine is ready to make up for lost time with an adopter who can make up for the cruelty she endured as a tiny pup with a lifetime of love, laughter and adventures!
Could Linguine be the missing piece of your family? If so, get your application in and let's see if you're a match!

To apply, you must complete the OTC Adoption Application. This form is an expression of interest only and is not a contract. The application takes approximately 15 minutes to complete.

We do not approve meet-and-greets without a completed and approved application. Applications must be completed in full; incomplete applications will not be followed up. Required photos of yard and fencing must be provided within 48 hours or the application will not proceed. Photos may be sent via our Facebook page or emailed to offthechaink9rescue@outlook.com.
Due to the volume of behind-the-scenes work, we are not always able to contact applicants whose application is not a suitable match for the pet they have applied for, however we do endeavour to do so where possible. You are welcome to request an update or outcome at any time via email or our facebook page inbox and we will respond as soon as we can.
