About Rasta
HAVE A HEART - please consider a special needs dog.
Rasta is a sweetheart, there are very few other words needed to describe this little man. He is gentle, sensitive, quiet and affectionate. Any family would be lucky to adopt this little man - he is easy going and goes with the flow.
So far, everyone who has shown interest in Rasta has decided not to adopt him because he has a heart murmur. This is heartbreaking for the CRQ team as we know that Rasta has so much love to give and he is well worth the inconvenience of having to give him medication with his breakfast and dinner.
All Rasta wants is someone to love him. He is good with other dogs, gentle and sweet with other cats, and would be an excellent family dog as he is patient and loving to people of all ages, including children.

Medical notes
Rastus has a heart murmur, and currently on medication that will improve his quality of life. Our wonderful friends at Boehringer have donated a YEARS worth of heart medication for Rasta, we are so thankful for them!
Rasta also came to us with luxating patellas, which were causing him pain and discomfort in his hind legs. We have repaired the most severe patella, and since then he has been getting around just fine! It has made a huge difference to his quality of life.
Rastus is vaccinated, microchipped and desexed. He has been tested for heartworm and started on heartworm and flea prevention. He has been regularly wormed and fed on Royal Canin food whilst in our care.
Adoption details
If you are interested in adopting one of our dogs, please email chihuahuarescueqld@gmail.com for an Adoption Application. From there, we will be in contact with you within 48 hours to talk further about your application and if successful, to arrange a meet and greet.
Prior to adoption, all dogs will need to have a meet and greet with their family, and a house check will be done. All adoptions are subject to a two week trial to ensure your new friend fits in well with your household.
We have many dogs that are in foster care and are not yet ready to be listed for a variety of reasons. If you have a good idea of what you are looking for in your new dog please email us at chihuahuarescueqld@gmail.com and let us help you match a dog to your needs.
