About Riddle
Meet Riddle, a beautiful female pedigree Border Collie.
Like working dogs, Riddle is very energetic and loves to play with her carer and foster brother but she can also calm down and is happy to spend long periods of time resting.
She loves traveling in the car, especially if it is to visit her favourite waterfalls. She is also a very clever girl who will always come when she is called, even when she is in a big open area.
Riddle does have a fight or flight reaction when meeting new dogs, so she needs to feel protected and be guided when meeting new friends; however we think this can be improved with training and reassurance.
She loves her people, and needs to feel like she is loved and valued by her owner. She thrives when she is physically close to you and being praised for her good girl behaviour.
Her ideal home would be as an only dog or larger dogs, and older children as she can get quite jumpy however this could be trained.
She is also known to chase livestock, so would be okay if they are in pens but in open areas she will chase.
Riddle is such a gentle girl who is looking for a home where she can be an inside dog and feel loved and as a valued family member.
Adoption details
MEET & GREET
We encourage all adopters to meet their new addition before committing to adoption. This gives you a chance to see if the animal might be a good fit, and if a dog, to also introduce them to your other animals. Just like we don't expect all humans to get along, we expect the same for animals.
ADOPTION AGREEMENT
At CQASI our animals future is paramount and we want to see them put into their forever homes. Every detail on our agreement is used to ensure your home is suitable for a new addition, that you agree to the terms and conditions and we also use some of the info for owner transfer after the adoption trial period (mentioned further down)
HOME/YARD CHECK
All our cats are indoor/outdoor enclosure only so all house checks are done when your feline friend is being dropped off to join your household. If the barking variety is what you are looking at adding to your home then one of our volunteers will contact you to arrange a day/time for a yard check. This is to check your fencing is suitable, see where your new canine will be sleeping and just get a general feel for the home they will be going to. All our adoptions tend to be local, but we have connections all over QLD so are more than happy to consider all serious adoption enquiries. A house/yard check will be done if we can get a local member (if adoption enquiry is not Rockhampton based) to assist.
ADOPTION FEE
Adoption fee is to be paid prior to collecting your new family member. The adoption fee is used to cover the vet work your new addition received. This includes - but is not limited to Desexing, vaccination/s, microchipping, parasite treatment/prevention (heart worm testing for dogs only).
TWO WEEK TRIAL
All our animals have a two week trial period. This gives your new addition time to settle into your family life and to give you a chance to ensure they are exactly what you want. If they are not settling in then we will arrange to take them back into care and you will be refunded the adoption fee. If after the two weeks they are exactly what you wanted then we will send you all their paperwork including sterilisation certificate, vaccination certificate and microchip transfer form.
Our aim is a beautiful goodbye into their new home. We treat any potential adoption with the upmost care as the animals safety and welfare is our number one concern.
This pet has been adopted and found love with its new family.
