About Hugh
I’m Hugh... although you probably know me already if you follow CRQ on Facebook - I’m a bit of a superstar and a huge hit with the ladies, just like my predecessor Hugh Hefner!
I’m an 8 year old chihuahua although I seem very mature for my age, and you may think I’m older than my years suggest but I’ve just chalked up a lot of life experience, that’s all.
If you’re looking for an athletic sort of dog to take for big walks and runs around the park, I’m not really your man, i much more prefer to potter around the house, snuggle and nap. I am friendly though and I love a good cuddle.
I live with a bunch of small dogs - but I’m really small myself at 2 kgs, so small kids aren’t my thing. I prefer there to be no cats in my foreverhome - just dont like them.
I also like to do some sneaky wee’s around the house so if you adore your carpet, I might not be suitable for your household.
I’d really like someone who’s around a lot to snuggle with and watch me nap, and maybe another quiet small dog or two for company. I’m happy to go out and have coffee dates and visit your friends with you, just quiet things.
So hey ladies, and/or gents, if you think I’m your man, send in an app! But hey, let’s not go and break the internet now ok....
(Please read my medical notes below before applying - I need regular check ups and blood tests for my hypothyroidism)
Medical notes
8 year old Hugh has hypothyroidism which is being well controlled with one Levothyroxine 50mcg tablet twice daily. This medication is from a regular chemist and isn’t expensive - around $30 for 200 tablets. He will need to have a blood test approximately every 6 months to make sure his thyroid levels are ok.
He has some arthritis so we recommend he continues taking a joint supplement such as Osteocare to help support his joints. He has also responded well to Metacam when he has seemed a bit painful in the past.
He has recently been desexed and had a dental with one extraction. He is microchipped and up to date with his C5 vaccination, as well as flea, tick, heart worm and intestinal worm prevention.
Adoption details
Chihuahua Rescue QLD Inc. is not a first to apply rescue group.We re-home our dogs based on the best possible family we can find them.
The first step to adopting a dog from us is to fill out an expression of interest form.
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 Browns Plains, Jindalee or Kedron vet clinic after you’ve adopted your dog and every dog in our care is up to date with all vet work.
