About Charlie Chips
Meet little Mr Charlie Chips. He is such a sweet boy, well mannered and quiet, yet also full of fun.
Charlie has learned to sit for his meal, to reliably respond when called and to let his carer know when he needs to go outside.
At night Charlie loves nothing more than to curl up on your knee or to lie beside you on the couch, he is still learning not to "crowd" his humans, but that will come as he is a fast learner.
Charlie is best suited to a family with older children/teenagers as he is not used to the boisterous play of littlies. Charlie will also need a family where someone is home much of the time and where he has a four legged playmate.
So, if you are looking for a very sweet young man, who is fun loving but also a lap warmer, then Charlie Chips is your man.
Medical notes
Charlie has been desexed, vaccinated and micro chipped. He is up to date with flea and worm control.
Adoption details
Once the animal is advertised candidates for adoption are requested to fill in a form.
The adoption questionnaire form asks where the animal will sleep, details of people and other animals in the home, training and exercise plans etc. We use this form as part of our screening process.
If we like what we read and the animal’s individual needs are met we then conduct an informal phone interview.
Then the potential adopter meets the animal at the carers home or the carer may choose to take the animal to the adopter’s home to do a house and yard inspection.
If the adopter meets the animal at the carer’s home a house/yard inspection is done after the meet.
When the yard inspection is done we are able to further evaluate the suitability of the candidate to adopt.
If we are satisfied that the animals needs will be met by the adopter and that they are a good match for one another then a trial period may begin.
We have legally binding pre-adoption forms which allow us to remove the animal from the home if all other solutions to issues have failed.
We have a good support base which adopters can utilise if needed, such as a professional trainer, a behaviourist, vets and a groomer.
Homeless Hounds offers support to our adopters for the life of the animal. It is policy that each adopter is aware that if the ever need help or to rehome the animal then HH wants to facilitate that.
Our procedures are based on advice from "model" and well established rescue groups and trial and error.
This pet has been adopted and found love with its new family.
