About Elsa
Hi!
My name is Elsa and I’m a very sweet and snuggly 7-year old Chihuahua.
I absolutely adore pats and cuddles and prefer to be on my human’s lap whenever possible – I am the ultimate lap dog!
I love going for walks too and I’m very good on the lead, although I do like to alert the neighbourhood when I walk past other dogs… I am very sociable with human friends when they come to visit, and don’t mind new people patting me either 😊
I become the most excited dog in the world when my human gets home as I don’t like to be on my own for too long – even when there’s other dogs around it’s just not the same! So I would be best suited to someone who is home more often than not, and I promise that if you do have to head out I will reward you with zoomies when you get home!
I have been well behaved around my foster sisters most of the time, although I can get a bit possessive of foster mum if I think they’re going to steal attention away from me!
I have some fear around food from my old home, so I prefer to eat in my own time with no other dogs around otherwise I get really scared or will resource guard. Sometimes foster mum has to find me in one of my hiding places and coax me to get started! Once I start eating though I do love my food, especially fresh chicken.
Medical notes
7 Year old Elsa has recently been desexed, and recently had a dental where she lost 10 teeth, and she has made a full recovery from both surgeries. She is up to date with C5 vaccination, flea, tick, intestinal worm and heart worm prevention.
She does have moderate bilateral patella luxation, but this doesn’t cause her any issues at this stage, however she may require surgery in the future, and we would recommend keeping her on a joint support supplement to help with this condition.
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:

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.
