Hi, I'm Emerald, I am shy but I am enjoying what life brings every day. I take time to get to know you and I often watch on from a distance until I am ready to take the next step. I will follow you. I will watch where you are walking and I will come along for the walk.I am warming to the idea of human contact everyday and am building confidence.
I am enjoying the play with the others and my tail out wagging has made my human very happy. I catch her watching me every now and then and I come over to say hi.
I’m not as cuddly as everyone would like (if you pick up me and give me a cuddle, I will stay and enjoy it but I will not seek you out for one (well, not at this stage).
I enjoy my food (chicken is amazing). I will only call out if it is important I am 90% toilet trained. Whilst I am shy and nervous around new things and people, when I need to go to the toilet I will take myself outside..
I can go through the doggy door (slowly), mastered the stairs beside the lounge and the 6 stairs into the house.
I LOVE to play with my brother and my foster mums fur baby. We have a great time. I might be tiny (2.9 kg) but I will hold my own in a game. I like to play with soft toys and will often “store” them for later in a pile only I can get too.
Some of my coat might be missing but my hair is growing back. My skin is improving every day.
I am told I am a little superstar and loved by everyone who meets me
Medical notes
Emerald came from a home with a lot of other dogs, all of the dogs have been suffering very badly with flea allergy dermatitis and as a result have some patches of fur missing (mainly on the back, legs and tail), this will grow back with time.
She has been treated with Nexgard and regular baths in a good quality shampoo. Any new owner will need to ensure he stays on a strict monthly flea treatment (Nexgard preferred) and has regular bathing (every 2 weeks) in Aloveen Shampoo and Conditioner for optimum coat health.
Emerald has had the following vetwork completed:
~ Desexed
~ Vaccinated
~ Microchipped
~ All-Wormed
~ Flea Treated
~ Heartworm Tested & Treated
Adoption details
** PLEASE NOTE: WE DO NOT HOLD ANY DOGS SO PLEASE ONLY APPLY IF YOU ARE READY TO ADOPT NOW. **
It is important that your home meets the criteria below:
* Dogs must sleep inside at night, not only do we like our dogs to be included in the family, this ensures they are kept safe from toads, snakes as well as the weather etc.
* If renting, your landlord or Body Corporate MUST approve prior to filling out this application (If this is not done we may need to move to the next application).
* Your home must have secure fencing.
* All dogs & cats in the home must be desexed and fully vaccinated.
* Children must be supervised at all times with the new pet.
* Puppy school/obedience training is a must if adopting a dog under 12 months of age.
If you are not willing to meet the criteria above, your application may be rejected.
~ ADOPTION PROCESS ~
1. Please take the time to read the dog's detailed profile thoroughly.
2. An Adoption application MUST be filled out prior to the meet and greet with the animal.
3. If successful, our adoptions co-ordinator will be in touch within 24-48 hours, if you have not received a response in this time, please check your junk folder.
4. The foster carer will then call you within 24-48 hours to set up a meet & greet, this is also the perfect time to ask any detailed information about the dog and if they are going to be a good match for you and your family.
5. The ‘Meet & Greet' - you travel to where the dog is. All potential adopters are given 6 DAYS to meet the dog. If the adopter has not met the dog in this period, then we will assume you are no longer interested. If you have a current dog and the dog you are enquiring about is over 4 months of age they must meet to ensure compatibility. Your pet must be fully vaccinated to be able to meet with our dogs in care. We strongly recommend all members of the family attend.
6. The dog MUST not be taken on the day unless PRIOR ARRANGEMENTS have been made e.g. travelling more than 5 hrs round trip. In this case we need a minimum of 3 days notice. The adoption agreement and payment must be made before collection of the dog.
7. The adopter has 24 hours to email admin@luckypaws.com.au to advise if they wish to proceed with the adoption or not. We rely on our foster carers for feedback on how the meet & greet went so each carer will advise us after the meet & greet.
8. Once you email our Adoptions Co-ordinator, we will then email you the adoption paperwork to finalise, this needs to be completed within 4-7 days depending if the dog is a puppy or adult. PLEASE CHECK YOUR JUNK FOLDER. The dog can only be officially adopted and taken home once the paperwork and adoption fee has been received, we will notify the foster carer and adopter when the dog is ready to go to their new home. The adopter has 4 days to collect the dog after the payment has been received.
9. A 10-day trial period commences once the animal has been collected from the foster carer. During the trial period, should the dog become ill, you must notify Lucky Paws via email at admin@luckypaws.com.au immediately. If the dog requires a vet visit Lucky Paws will ONLY cover vet treatment which has been authorised by a Lucky Paws admin at our partnered vet clinics. We will NOT reimburse you if you choose to go to your own vet or haven’t got approval.
10. The Adoption is finalised after 14 - 28 days and paperwork is sent via email after this period. Please note this can take up to 4 weeks pending on the microchip paperwork. If you need vaccination certificates for puppy school in the meantime, please email us.
Sorry we can’t take calls, as our rescue is run entirely by volunteers, but we endeavour to respond to your email within 24 - 48 hours. Your patience is greatly appreciated.
