there! My name is Caddy, I’m a very smart young dog and know my own mind. I’m in foster care with my litter mate brother, and foster sister & brother (miniature schnauzers) and two cats. I would like to think I’m the leader of this pack, but I’m OK with taking the role of 2nd in command too.
I’m a quick learner and know not to run at the cats if I want them to like me. I love playing with my foster family and fur siblings. I especially love the cats’ toys and tunnels! I love my foster brother who is 10, I’m very respectful to him and love giving him lots of kisses. Did I mention I’m a lap dog?
I love being close to my fur siblings and foster family who think I’m just adorable. I like being close to my humans, but without needing to be right under their feet, I like my independence and am not afraid to go off exploring on my own. I really like a mix of both being inside and outside, I like having choice.
The only thing I love more than cuddles in your lap is food, which makes me easy to teach. I've started to learn to sit and wait, it's coming along. I’m not that fond of my create, I’m slowly building to longer periods of time in it. I’m sure with more time, I will love it.
I’m starting to learn a few games, like Tug-o-war with my foster sister, and I love having my chew toys. I’m great with my toilet training and only have the occasional accident.
Did I mention that I’d do anything to lay in your lap and give you kisses?
My perfect home will have another fur sibling, and someone willing to give me a good robust play in the backyard. The more people I can wrap around my paw the better! I am looking for a loving home, and I would be a loving and loyal companion to you. Please give me a chance you will not be disappointed.

* If renting, your landlord or Body Corporate MUST approve prior to filling out this application (If this is not done we may need to move to the next application).
* Your home must have secure fencing.
* All dogs & cats in the home must be desexed and fully vaccinated.
* Children must be supervised at all times with the new pet.
* Puppy school/obedience training is a must if adopting a dog under 12 months of age.
If you are not willing to meet the criteria above, your application may be rejected.
~ ADOPTION PROCESS ~
1. Please take the time to read the dog's detailed profile thoroughly.
2. An Adoption application MUST be filled out prior to the meet and greet with the animal.
3. If successful, our adoptions co-ordinator will be in touch within 24-48 hours, if you have not received a response in this time, please check your junk folder.
4. The foster carer will then call you within 24-48 hours to set up a meet & greet, this is also the perfect time to ask any detailed information about the dog and if they are going to be a good match for you and your family.
5. The ‘Meet & Greet' - you travel to where the dog is. All potential adopters are given 5 DAYS to meet the dog. If the adopter has not met the dog in this period, then we will assume you are no longer interested. If you have a current dog and the dog you are enquiring about is over 4 months of age they must meet to ensure compatibility. Your pet must be fully vaccinated to be able to meet with our dogs in care. We strongly recommend all members of the family attend.
6. The dog MUST not be taken on the day unless PRIOR ARRANGEMENTS have been made e.g. travelling more than 5 hrs round trip. In this case we need a minimum of 3 days notice. The adoption agreement and payment must be made before collection of the dog.
7. The adopter has 24 hours to email admin@luckypaws.com.au to advise if they wish to proceed with the adoption or not. We rely on our foster carers for feedback on how the meet & greet went so each carer will advise us after the meet & greet.
8. Once you email our Adoptions Co-ordinator, we will then email you the adoption paperwork to finalise, this needs to be completed within 3 days depending if the dog is a puppy or adult. PLEASE CHECK YOUR JUNK FOLDER. The dog can only be officially adopted and taken home once the paperwork and adoption fee has been received, we will notify the foster carer and adopter when the dog is ready to go to their new home. The adopter has 4 days to collect the dog after the payment has been received.
9. A 10-day trial period commences once the animal has been collected from the foster carer. During the trial period, should the dog become ill, you must notify Lucky Paws via email at admin@luckypaws.com.au immediately. If the dog requires a vet visit Lucky Paws will ONLY cover vet treatment which has been authorised by a Lucky Paws admin at our partnered vet clinics. We will NOT reimburse you if you choose to go to your own vet or haven’t got approval.
10. The Adoption is finalised after 14 - 28 days and paperwork is sent via email after this period. Please note this can take up to 4 weeks pending on the microchip paperwork. If you need vaccination certificates for puppy school in the meantime, please email us.
Sorry we can’t take calls, as our rescue is run entirely by volunteers, but we endeavour to respond to your email within 24 - 48 hours. Your patience is greatly appreciated.
This pet has been adopted and found love with its new family.
