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.

When Kathy picked her up she still had her cough, so she sent her own dogs to a relatives so she could tend to Isabel. Isabel was lovingly nursed back to health until she was strong enough... »read more about Isabel's life

RIP Sampson

Topaz

Sampson was such a beautiful loving dog. He bonded with me from the day I picked him up from the shelter. He stayed with my mother and loved to keep her company in the garden.

Then he would sit on the door mat and look and listen for my arrival...»read more about Samson
