About Happy
Happy has a potential adopter meeting her soon. Happy is a sweet elderly girl. Her name matches her personality as she is as easygoing and good natured as any dog you'll ever meet. All Happy wants is companionship. She lives happily with other dogs and cats, and is most content with her human by her side. Happy doesn't suffer any seperation anxiety, but she really does enjoy being close to those she loves. Since she is now in her twilight years, we just want to find her a loving home who will spend time with her and make her last year's wonderful.
Happy loves to trot around outside, she lived most of her life as a backyard dog and has a real love for lying in the sun. But she's spent enough time shut away from her family and now its essential she's allowed to be inside and close to those who love her.
Happy loves lying on the couch and having a head rub. But she'll also happily accompany you on an afternoon walk and she finds great joy in sniffing out new things in new places.
Happy has the loveliest long legs and the prettiest face. She's gentle, loving and an all-round delightful old dog.
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 X-rays 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.
Happy has come to us with many health issues, but we have worked through these and she's doing better than ever.
Happy had mammary tumours when she came into care. These have been removed and she has been desexed. The tumours were tested and came back as benign which we are delighted by.
Happy had terrible dental disease including a fistula that went through to an abcess on her cheek. Her rotten teeth have been extracted, her infection treated and her mouth cleaned up. She did have to have some stitches to close the fistula, so these can be seen externally on her cheek and also there were more placed inside her mouth. Be assured she's healing and we do not expect any further issues here.
Happy also has very weepy eyes. These have been tested and no abnormalities found. Our vets flushed her tear ducts and there was lots of gunk flushed out. Again, we do not expect any ongoing problems here.
Finally, Happy has luxating patellas. Due to her age and the number of surgeries she's recently undergone, we have opted not to put her through patella surgery.
Whilst Happy is an old girl with a past of having her medical care neglected, we have now addressed each issue thoroughly and we hope that the worst is over. Now Happy needs a lovely retirement home.
