About Lilly
Lilly is a beautiful, quirky little girl who just loves to be with her person. She is completely devoted to those she knows and loves and would benefit from being adopted by someone who is home most of the time. Lilly would be happy being an only dog, however if there is another dog in the household it would be best to be a calm fur sibling who can help teach her how to enjoy the life of a dog.
Lilly finds the world a big scary place, and she is on medication for her anxiety. She is being treated by a Veterinary Behaviour Specialist from VSS. Lilly finds walks overwhelming and so we have been advised by the Behaviourist that Lilly is better off being a homebody. She enjoys being inside and playing with her toys, and she loves exploring the garden. We would not recommend apartment living as she so enjoys being out in the sunshine and lying on the grass.
Lilly responds well to her name, is learning how to play and trying really hard with basic commands. Car trips have been quite stressful for Lilly but we have been working on frequent calm car rides to overcome this.
Lilly finds small children scary, however she lives with two respectful early teenagers and she loves spending time with them. They are always gentle with her and let her come to them on her own terms. She finds new dogs very scary and barks at them, and unfortunately she is not suitable for a home with cats. We have not been able to get her past her reactive response to cats and she barks at cats and chases them.
Despite all her little quirks Lilly really is a sweetheart who will give so much love and devotion to her furever person. Are you that person?
Medical notes
Lilly was an unclaimed stray who came into our care with a quirky head tilt and a habit of trotting in anti-clockwise circles. She was first treated for a damaged ear drum then sent for a CT Scan to see what was going on in her head. Whilst there was a small amount of fluid evident on her brain our Vets are confident she is not in any pain and there will be no ongoing health issues or treatment required.
All Chihuahua Rescue Queensland dogs have been fully health checked by our vets. We offer a free post-adoption health check with Greencross Vets at Chermside, Jindalee, Browns Plains or Indooroopilly hospitals. This gives you the opportunity to talk directly to the vet about any questions you may have. We provide all veterinary records for each dog, including copies of blood tests, any relevant xrays and medical notes.
All Chihuahua Rescue Queensland dogs are desexed, vaccinated and microchipped. We test all our dogs for heart worm and treat them with regular parasite prevention.
Adoption details
Chihuahua Rescue QLD Inc. is not a first to apply rescue group.We re-home our dogs based on the best possible family we can find them.
The first step to adopting a dog from us is to fill out an expression of interest form.
We encourage you to provide as much detail as possible about your family and your home as this helps us make sure we match you with the most suitable dog.
This form can be found at the following address: http://www.emailmeform.com/builder/form/Kczrs885x4lq3N9u4mQhca
Due to the large volume of inquiries we are unable to respond to all applications. If you are considered suitable for the dog you have applied for you will be contacted witihin one week of applying.
Please note: we do not organise any meet and greet without a completed expression of interest form.
Our adoption process involves:
1) Completing online application form - only shortlisted applicants will be contacted.
2) Arranging a meet and greet with the dogs foster carer, after which we ask you to take 24 hours to make a decision about whether you want to adopt this dog
3) A brief home visit and yard check from one of our volunteers
4) Adoption trial spanning four weeks.
We ask that you pay the dogs adoption fee at the beginning of the adoption trial, however this will be refunded if for any reason the dog is not working out in your home within the four week period. We offer a four week adoption trial to make sure that you have plenty of time for your new dog to settle into your home and so we can offer you full support during this period and beyond.
We offer a free health check with our vets at Indooroopilly, Browns Plains, Jindalee or Chermside vet clinic after you’ve adopted your dog and every dog in our care is up to date with all vet work.
