About Digger (adoption pending)
Darling old Digger found himself homeless this year after his elderly owner passed away. He is a low maintenance well mannered old boy just looking for a loving home to enjoy his senior years.
As with a lot of older dogs, Digger is deaf and does have a few health issues but these are all now managed with medication.
He has a heart murmur as well as cushings disease, which means he will require medication for both for the rest of his life.
This lovely old gent has proven to be the ideal houseguest. He quietly goes about his business without annoying anyone. He is not bothered by other animals or small children as long as they give him space and let him have his daily snooze.
If you are looking for a chilled out companion to spend your days at home with then Digger is your man.
Medical notes
Digger was diagnosed with a heart murmur, but this is now being managed with daily medication. Even though he will require this medication for the rest of his life, it does not deter him from living a full life.
He was also diagnosed with Cushings Disease, for which daily medication is a necessity. Since starting this medication he has shown a new lease of life.
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

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.
