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

VicDRG is a group run entirely by volunteers. We have no paid employees.

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.

How You Can Help

VicDRG is a small voluntary organisation. There are so many ways you can help: by fostering a dog; by transporting a dog from Bendigo or Mildura or locally in Melbourne; by telling your friends about us and other rescue groups; putting up our poster at your local vets, groomers or pet food store (only those that don't sell animals please); looking out for old animal cages and other items on our » wish list; supporting our fundraising events.

If you are interested in being more involved please download our volunteer form.

Donations

Can you help us rescue and rehome our homeless pets by making a donation? As we have no paid employees and our administration costs are minimal, your donation always goes to where it is needed most – to the animals. You can ask us to direct your donation to wherever you like – towards sponsoring a dog or cat of your choice, to vet fees, towards special surgery that can change a dog’s life or to general funds that cover our additional animal-related costs.
