About Floofie
🐾💕 FLOOFIE – YOUR LITTLE SHADOW & PROFESSIONAL SNUGGLE BEAR! 💕🐾
Meet Floofie, a gorgeous little Shih Tzu with a heart as big as her love for cuddles! At just 1 year and 7 months old and weighing a petite 6.9kg, this little girl is proof that the best things really do come in small, fluffy packages. 🥰
Floofie came into our care through a private surrender, through absolutely no fault of her own. Now she's ready to find the special family who will love her as much as she loves them.
And trust us, that's A LOT of love!
💕 A little bit about Floofie
If you're looking for a companion who will follow you around the house, supervise absolutely everything you do and make sure you never sit on the couch alone again, Floofie might just be your girl!
She's an absolute snuggle bear who believes personal space is rather overrated. Sitting beside you is lovely, but sitting ON you is even better! The closer she can get, the happier she is.
She's a naturally affectionate, friendly and gentle little soul who seems to make friends wherever she goes. Whether meeting new people, enjoying a cuddle or simply being part of the family's everyday activities, Floofie is happiest when she's with her humans.
But don't let her love of lounging fool you! This little lady also enjoys getting out and about. She loves her daily adventures, exploring all the interesting smells and enjoying a little wander around the neighbourhood. Around 15–30 minutes of walking is just her style before she's ready to head home for a snack and a well-deserved nap.
🐶 Life with Floofie
Floofie has a lovely balance of playful energy and relaxed couch-potato moments. She's generally a quiet girl, although she'll occasionally let you know if something interesting is happening outside.
She's comfortable around children aged 4 years and over and enjoys the company of other dogs. She's particularly familiar with smaller dogs but is happy to meet larger dogs with appropriate introductions.
She would absolutely love a friendly doggy companion, but this isn't essential. She could also be perfectly happy as an only dog, provided her family has plenty of time, love and attention to give.
She's toilet trained to use puppy pee pads indoors, and access to outside and her lead walking is coming along nicely. She's a curious little explorer, so expect the occasional left turn, right turn and everything in between!
Cats are currently an unknown, and because Floofie has a cheeky interest in chasing birds, care would be needed around small animals.
And did we mention she's food motivated? Carrots and apple are firm favourites, so if you're looking for a way to win her heart, a tasty little snack might be a good place to start! 🥕🍎
❤️ Her perfect forever home
Floofie isn't asking for a mansion, endless adventures or a family who can run a marathon with her.
She simply wants a home where she's included, loved and never short of affection.
A family who enjoys having a little companion following them around, someone to share the couch with and a fluffy friend to make every day that little bit sweeter would be perfect.
She will need regular brushing and professional grooming to keep her beautiful Shih Tzu coat looking and feeling its best.
Floofie is still young, with plenty of life and little adventures ahead of her. She's ready to leave her past behind and start the next chapter with a family who will cherish her.
So, if you have room on your couch, space on your lap and a little extra love in your heart, Floofie would absolutely love to meet you!
Be warned though… you may never go to the bathroom alone again, and your couch space will officially become her couch space! 😂💕
🐾 Floofie is ready to find her happily ever after. Could that be with you? 🐾

Adoption details
Paw Prints Canine Rescue is a non for profit dog rescue located in Southeast Queensland.
All our dogs leave our care with full vet work (up-to-date vaccinated, microchipped, desexed, heart worm and intestinal wormed and flea treated).
Please note - They will not leave for their new homes until they are 12 weeks of age and have been desexed, micro-chipped and vaccinated up to date.
Please note - we are not a pound or have kennels - all our dogs stay in foster carers homes and therefore dogs are not able to be simply viewed - only approved applicants will meet the dogs.

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.
AFTER THE TRIAL PERIOD
After the 10 day trial period is completed Paw Prints Canine will send out all relevant paperwork for your new furbaby via email including the transfer of microchip form.
