Hey everyone, my name is Poppet!
I was surrendered to OTC by a kind lady who found me roaming and scared on a busy street. I was very underweight, covered in fleas, and had no collar or microchip. She tried to find my owners for weeks but nobody responded to the ads, so she decided it was best for my future if I got some help from the team at Off The Chain K9 Rescue Qld.
I am a sweet, happy pup with a bright personality. My carer has taught me basic commands and I love to learn. I love other dogs and am very playful with them- the lady that found me had a greyhound and a cattle dog mix, who I loved to play and snuggle with. Now, I live in foster care as the only dog, and with 2 cats. I am good with my cats, but am still learning not to chase them in excitement.
I sleep in a crate at night, and can go through the night without waking my carer up. I would love for my new owner to continue my crate training as it gives me a safe, secure place to call my own. I stay outside during the day while my carer is at work, and am fine keeping myself occupied with lots of good quality, fun toys. Sometimes I did small holes, which is a pretty normal puppy thing- and my carers are working on redirecting that behaviour to where I AM allowed to dig- my sandpit!
I would like to be behind a 5ft fence with no gaps so that as I grow, I am not tempted to escape the yard. I will need a dog friend to keep me company. Being a young dog, I am going to grow up however you allow me to- so it's important to spend your early weeks with me getting my routine and training down-pat. I am a smart girl who is a keen learner and will make you very happy.
So what do you think? Could I be the one for you?
Adoption details
Before applying, please consider and finalise the following:
- Real estate approval
- Fence requirements
- Outside shelter areas
- Other resident pets fully vaccinated and preferably desexed
- The rescue pet's dietary requirements eg large breed vs medium breed, age
- Enrichment, exercise and training needs of pet you are applying for
- If you have not read our adoption process below in full, please do not apply until you have.
Once you are ready to adopt, please complete the OTC Adoption Application questionnaire below. This is not a contract or agreement of any kind, just an expression of interest in the animal. We will not authorise meets unless this has been completed and only approved applicants may meet the animal. Once you are approved and have submitted all relevant information, we will organise for you to meet the pet. We will not contact you if you do not complete the form in full AND provided the required photos of yard/fencing within 48hrs. Photos may be sent to our facebook page, or email offthechaink9rescue@outlook.com
DOG ADOPTION APPLICATION: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/OTCadoptionapp
If you apply to adopt but require us to hold the pet more than 3 days before meeting, we will ask you for a non-refundable holding deposit of $100. If you are unwilling to put a deposit on the pet, we will continue to advertise and speak with other potential adopters. If you follow through with adoption after your meet, the $100 holding deposit is then subtracted from the outstanding adoption fee, which is to be paid at collection of the pet. Eg if full adoption fee is $450, and you place a $100 holding fee on the animal- the day you collect the pet you will sign an adoption contract and pay the remaining $350 fee.
All animals are adopted out with vaccinations up to date; any vaccinations due from date of adoption are the ethical and financial responsibility of the adopter. During the trial period, should the pet become ill, you must notify OTC, and present it to the OTC-approved vet clinic we direct you to in your area. OTC will cover any treatment needed at our authorised clinics.
Ready to roll? Then fill out the application form, and we will be in contact to successful applicants asap. Feel free to follow us up via Facebook page inbox. (www.facebook.com/offthechaink9)
