About May
Introducing the gorgeous and lovely May!
May is a 6 year old Shih Tzu x
May is an ex-breeding girl who has now retired and since coming into care has blossomed into a lovely girl.
Since coming into care May has been experiencing a lot of firsts and just makes us so proud each day.
As May didn’t have a lot of socialization until she came into care (and then got it in spades) she is wary of meeting new people – so anyone who meets her MUST give her the time to adjust and come up to them on her timeframe.
May is great with other dogs and when comfortable in her home loves to play tug of war with other dogs and spend her time snoozing on the couch. She also loves to play with a ball but has about 10% retrieval success :-)
May is now looking for her forever home where she can enjoy playing with another dog and being very much a part of the household and family.
May is still learning noises outside of the home and learning lead training but loves to go for a walk especially to a park or the beach.
May’s ideal home would be where she can be inside as much as her little heart wants and have access outside for lady business and some play and sunbaking.
May has also mastered the ‘perfect melt your heart cuddle’ – she will ask for a cuddle and tuck her head into your shoulder and under your chin – it literally melts your heart.
May does need to sleep in the house of a night and has been known to bark outside at night if there is wind or unknown noises, so if she gets to sleep on her humans bed she is not as interested in going outside and telling the world off.
May does enjoy being outdoors for a sunbake and a good sniff around but would not be a dog that could spend hours outside by herself.
Once May is confident and comfortable with you she will love a good cuddle on the couch while you’re watching tv or cooking she will be an awesome couch warmer for you.
May loves to play with soft toys and will often carry one around with her.
May came into care very uncomfortable around humans however with some amazing help from her foster mum she has taught her that people aren’t scary she loves to play with her foster mum’s grandson.
May is toilet trained but may have an accident or two when going to a new house – she will just need a few days to settle and shown the outside to do her business.
May has also lived with a cat with no issues
May does have a coat that requires regular grooming so please make sure that you do remember that it’s a life time of grooming.
May is looking for a home where she will be allowed the time to settle and her humans will continue to help her confidence grow and be cherished like she should be – are you that home?

Adoption details
Paw Prints Canine Rescue is a non for profit dog rescue located in Southeast Queensland.
All our dogs leave our care with full vet work (up-to-date vaccinated, microchipped, desexed, heart worm and intestinal wormed and flea treated).
Please note - They will not leave for their new homes until they are 12 weeks of age and have been desexed, micro-chipped and vaccinated up to date.
Please note - we are not a pound or have kennels - all our dogs stay in foster carers homes and therefore dogs are not able to be simply viewed - only approved applicants will meet the dogs.
Please Note: We do not hold any animals so please only apply if you are ready to adopt now
Please note - We don't take calls on adoption enquiries - an application must be completed
We can also be found at https://www.facebook.com/pawprintscanine/
Complete the following adoption enquiry link
https://goo.gl/forms/PqpkCcE89ikDR2Lw1
Once an adoption enquiry is completed our admin team will assess the application and if successful we will arrange for a meet and greet to be completed. We may also request photos of your yard for consideration of your application. Please note that we will do no more than 3 meet and greets per dog.
Approved applicants will be contacted to arrange a time for a meet & greet via email. You must bring your current dog along to the meeting if you are meeting another dog/puppy, this is to ensure they get along before commencing adoption - proof of your dogs up-to-date vaccination is required before any meet and greet is arranged.
Our adoption fee must be cleared in our bank account before any animal is available for pick up. Please note we bank with ANZ - any other bank may take 48 hours to process the monies.
Paw Prints Canine Rescue has a 10 day trial period – this basically means that if for any reason the adoption does not work out and the dog needs to be returned to us, the adoption fee minus an admin fee (minimum is $100) will be returned to the adoptees via bank transfer within 7 working days.
Please note that if an interstate adoption needs to be returned or regional adoption all transport cost with be paid by the adopter.
Please also note while this can be a very exciting time for everyone, it can also be an overwhelming time for dogs and we ask that you do try and allow your new family member to settle in their new home and adjust
INTERSTATE ADOPTIONS **
Any transport costs are to be paid by the adopting family, however we can assist you in helping with transport to airports etc.
** Please note some of our dogs are not available for interstate adoption
AFTER THE TRIAL PERIOD
After the 10 day trial period is completed Paw Prints Canine will send out all relevant paperwork for your new furbaby via email including the transfer of microchip form.
