About Lemmy
APPS CLOSE FRIDAY 7th 6pm...
Lemmy has asked her foster mum to write this, as she is nervous & shy. Lemmy has just come in to care & the reason she has entered our lovely establishment is that her owner is needed to look after her kids in Sydney due to illness. She had only just rescued Lemmy about 4 weeks ago, before finding out that she needs to relocate for awhile… she was devastated to have to make this decision, but her owner did her research, not wanting to hand her over to anyone, knowing Lemmy is a special kind of Beagle… we don’t mean the window licking special kind either. Now, where Lemmy was before, is a sad, sad 😢 place to be… as it caused her to be TOO busy breeding to be able to live any sort of life, this is why she is super sensitive, super shy with everyone & everything & needing to learn about EVERYTHING that life has to offer 💔 Lemmy is the sweetest, little Lemon Beagle girl.. who is 6 years young & once she gets to know you, her tail is constantly wagging & her smile is always bright! Lemmy’s profile is based on her owner’s knowledge of only having her for the past 4 weeks, & the little time she has been in foster care with me. We have no knowledge of her past except that she hasn’t lived a full Beagly life, due to being used for breeding & has had approx 6 litters. 🙄 This precious pup loves to wander around her surroundings, she loves to sunbake & roll around in the garden. She is toilet & house trained, still learning that couches/beds/dog beds/anything that isn’t a blanket on the floor is ok to step on, climb up on, lay on, you get the picture… the poor thing (as you can see in the photos) appears to be only used to the blanket on the floor. We are doing our best to teach her that our couches & beds are her couches & beds...🛋🛏 we are getting there, & she is slowly beginning to trust her new foster environment. 🤗 We were told that she gets a little nervy in the car, but we haven’t seen this. I think, like everything, she just hasn’t experienced it enough… she sits beautifully in the backseat with her seatbelt on. We will be helping this by doing loads of fun trips to everywhere.. parks, dog parks, Bunnings, the beach & friends houses… showing her that car rides are fun! 🚗 Lemmy is learning manners, learning to socialise & play with my beagles, she has no idea about toys or playing… she is great to walk on lead, loves to get out and about - there is no typical beagle naughty traits as she sadly never got the chance to be.. so, no extra digging, no escaping, no destructive behaviour, no excessive barking & no aggression at all. Food - typical beagle, but no aggression etc. actually it’s the opposite, if you stand or go too close to where she is eating she backs away & won’t eat! Is loving positive praise, soft voices, slow movements, calm environments, positive attention, is responding well to love, snuggles, cuddles, pats - anything spoiling! We believe whole heartedly, that Lemmy hasn’t seen any kindness, spoiling, love or anything positive… just seen as a business transaction🤯💰Lemmy is nervous & will back away when meeting hoomans big and small, any sort of furry & really anything & everything…😬 to be honest, it appears her human, furry & everything interaction was never positive as she certainly doesn’t trust easily.. especially males, this is changing with soothing voices, positivity everywhere & loads of kindness, love & spoiling 🤗😍. She is the MOST precious, sweetest & happiest of all Beagles. Once she has settled, learns to trust you, & is comfortable in her FUREVER home.. she is going to be loyal, loving & I am putting money on that there may be some cheekiness to come out!Lemmy didn’t want me to tell you, but I explained to her..most humans & even some dogs do it. Lemmy snores, a little, mostly at night.. but as I also expressed to her, nothing to be embarrassed about. At least it isn’t as loud as her foster daddy, & we laughed & laughed & laughed!
Adoption details
All of our Beagles & crosses will be vet checked & vetted prior to adoption. They'll be desexed, vaccinated, Heartworm tested, and preventatives started, Flea/worm & tick preventatives up to date, & any other medical needs completed/controlled with medication. We place a post on Facebook & on the website advertising each dog giving their full description and requirements. BRQ accepts applications until a date provided to our supporters This is always mentioned on Facebook, our website and our emails when applications are sent this way. The committee reads each one, choosing the best 1, 2, or 3 applications (depending the number of applications we receive) that suit each individual dog’s needs, personalities and developmental/health.
The Coordinator will organise the meet & greets between the foster parent who has the hound in care & the successful applicants (at times the Foster Coordinator will also attend). These take place in mutually agreed dog parks. We will ask that all family members & any other hounds you have already accompany you on the meet & greet. For families who are interstate or in regional QLD, meet/greets, yard/fence checks will be completed by one of our foster carers in the area, via Skype, or we may ask you to provide photos/videos of your fences, yard & house/yard where your Beagle/Hound will be allowed & spend most of its time. If the family is needing transport via plane or other means, this will be a case by case discussion between committee and adopting family, and all fees covered by the adopting family. BRQ can assist you to obtain a quote for this (Just know that all modes of transport will be scheduled based on the weather. For example, if the temperature is high that day, flights will be early morning or night).
If successful with the meet & greet, the coordinator will organise to do the yard & fence checks. This is done to check that the fences & yard are both safe & is secure enough that no Beagle can escape. Any potential problems that may need fixing can be brought to the attention of the potential adopting family. No trial weekend will take place until problems have been fixed. The foster coordinator choose & contact the most suitable family for the particular dog they are applying for based on the meet/greet & yard/fence check & the needs of the dog. Whilst we allow the foster family to say goodbye to their foster dog, we ask for the adoption fee to be deposited and cleared in our bank account before any animal is released. We do not take cash payments, we give out our bank details & depending on who you bank with can take up to 48 hours to be processed. Trial period of up to 12 days is then organised, this time helps both you, your family, the foster dog and other pets become familiar with each other & see if it all works between you all. Whilst on trial, the coordinator will call a few times during, & you are quite welcome to send us messages or call to ask questions or if there are any concerns etc. Please know you are covered by the trial period, if anything happens or there are issues, we ask to be contacted immediately. We can arrange vet care or any other requirements during this time. We can also help with training tips or strategies to assist your new family member to settle in their new home, also with dietary & behavioural training during this time.
If after the trial ends you have decided to continue with the adoption of your Beagle/Hound or cross, we will send you out your adoption pack. The pack includes De-sexing certificate or proof of de-sexing paperwork, Microchip ownership change over, Vaccination certificates. Adoption certificate, Adoption Information, Receipt of payment, Worming, Heartworm and Flea/Tick dates. With puppies, you receive a puppy pack. Life time guarantee of advice, training & support. If for any reason the trial doesn’t work & the dog is returned to BRQ, the adopting family is refunded the fee minus an admin fee of $50.
