About Chloe
Chloe was surrendered as a Chihuahua x Fox Terrier and she weighs about 6kg.
She's a lovely girl, who is shy when she meets new people but incredibly loyal and licky once she knows and trusts you. She has lots of fantastic Terrier traits and lots of energy, playfulness and curiosity. She loves to explore the garden, play with her foster brother Scooter and lie in the sun.
Chloe does chase cats so would do best in a home without resident kitties. In saying this, she isn't aggressive and is making huge progress with her foster mum training her not to chase the cats, so if her new family were willing to work on this habit she may be able to live with cats. We are working hard on desensitising them to cats and learning that felines are friends!
Chloe is two, amd she enjoys going for walks. Although she's an active young girl, she is super cuddly and enjoys snuggling on the couch. She's eager to please and is responding great to positive, reward based training. Chloe sleeps in a cosy crate in her foster home which she loves.
Overall, Chloe is young and healthy, however she came into care with a condition called Cherry Eye. This is a prolapsed third eye lid. She has had surgery on her right eye however the vet determined that her left eye does not require surgery at this point. The prolapse is very tiny and only appears when she is stressed and causes no irritation so the vet does not recommend surgery. If it worsened it later life it may require a minor surgery to correct, however is currently not a problem.
Chloe has lived with children in the past however we would recommend older children due to Chloe's timid nature in new situations.
She definitely needs to go to a home with a doggy companion.
Medical notes
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 heartworm and treat them with regular parasite prevention.
Chloe has bilateral Cherry Eye. She has had surgery on her right eye which was the most severe. The left eye has occasional Cherry Eye - when she's stressed or has allergies it appears. Our vet has advised that since it is so small and only occasionally pops out, surgery is not currently required. It is possible it may become more severe as she ages and may require surgery in the future.
