Flicka

Flicka is one of our special little "honorary chihuahuas". She is one of the sweetest, most gentle dogs you will ever meet. Flicka loves nothing more then nuzzling in for a cuddle. She loves to sleep under her foster carers bed, knowing she is close by.

Skeeter would be a great family dog, she is friendly with every person she meets and very social with other dogs. Cats don't bother her at all, and she's currently being fostered with a very large dog and some tiny ones who she is very gentle with! I believe Flicka has had a difficult past as she is very nervous. She needs an owner who is confident in helping an anxious dog regain trust and confidence. She is currently very fond of her crate and sleeps in it at night, inside near her foster family.

One of the questions I get asked more then any other is "Why do you have other breeds available for adoption when you are a chihuahua rescue?"

As we've become more established as a Qld dog rescue and built some strong relationships within the rescue world, I find myself becoming so discouraged and disheartened at how many mixed breed dogs are dying in pounds. We are a Chihuahua Rescue group and we have chihuahuas available for adoption and always will. But if there are other dogs who have no other options, and we have foster carers available, we will take on other breeds.

Flicka came to us from the Warwick pound thanks to our friends in Pound Paws. She had no other options. She was due to be euthanized, and none of the breed-appropriate rescue groups had room for her, so we took her into care.
