About Paddington
Hey there, how’s it going? My name is Paddington and I am ready for my forever home
Now you have probably looked at my photos and just been blown away at how cute I am – I mean come on how could you not – I am a Shmoodle (Toy Poodle x Maltese x Shih Tzu) and I am just a baby at 8 months old
I am into care due to personal reasons for my previous owners - nothing to do with me.
Now I know ladies don’t like discussing their weight – but since I’m a boy it’s okay cause at 4.6kgs I think I’m pretty small and light and one would say, the perfect carry me around and be my slave weight!
My foster mum said I can be a bit timid for a few days in a new environment and will take time to settle in but then once I do, the cuddles and plays will be worth it!
Once I am settled and confident I love to wrap my paws around your neck for cuddles – my foster mum says I give the best cuddles!
I do like to follow you around checking what you do when you’re in the house.
I can be a startled by loud noises when still settling in but as I gain my confidence I will blossom
I can often be found napping off somewhere quiet and by myself – nothing better than a good nap.
I love to sit next to you for pats but I would be even happier if allowed on your lap! I am very calm and quiet and love tummy rubs from my humans.
I walk very well on a lead and love to go for a walk especially if I have another dog with me – it does make me feel more confident.
I love being able to have access to inside and outside and love being able to go out into the garden thru the day and have a good run around I am good with other dogs and love to play with other dogs – the rescue has said that I really do need to go to a home with another small breed dog who wants to mentor me, teaching me confidence as well as play time. I’m great with playing with them and also to snuggle with on the bed / couch / dog bed – basically anywhere – I want to be their bff.
My foster mum also says that if the other dogs are too much in my face I will give a little growl to say hey back off but it’s only when they are too much.
I am still a pup so my foster mum has mentioned something about me being a kleptomaniac sometimes - but hey I'm a pup and just still learning.
I wouldn’t enjoy being home alone for 8+ hours a day without humans. My foster mum says I am not a fan of spending time by myself unless I choose too.
I am working on my house training and use the doggy door, my foster mum says we are about 96% there if I get really nervous I may have an accident.
I live with some young kids at the moment

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.
