No dog will be rehomed by us without being desexed, microchipped and vaccinated.

VicDRG is a group run almost entirely by volunteers. We sometimes pay for catch up administration work as our paperwork is important to us and ensures the safety of our animals.

Mostly, everyone gives of their time, skills and often money to ensure we can continue to work to save and improve the quality of life of our companion animals.

Your donations go where they are needed - to the animals.
