No dog will be rehomed by us without being desexed, microchipped and vaccinated.
Victorian Dog Rescue and Resource Group
We cannot save them all. But we can save that one.
Victorian Dog Rescue and Resource Group Inc (VicDRG) is a not for profit organisation whose purpose is to decrease the number of dogs euthanased in Victorian pounds each year. Nearly all these dogs could be rehomed and end up in pounds and shelters through no fault of their own. Their misfortune in many cases is they have not been valued by their family and they have not had returned to them the love and loyalty they have given.
Instead many dogs are dumped unceremoniously in the pound. Common reasons are - I’m having a baby, my mother has gone into a nursing home and can’t keep the dog, I’m moving house and can’t take the dog with me - and so on.
VicDRG tries to help these unfortunate animals in different ways such as:
- actively running a rehoming service for dogs rescued from euthanasia in pounds
- promoting responsible pet ownership
- providing advice to members of the public on the resources available in Victoria for pet rescue
- issuing a newsletter to advise on different aspects of pet rescue and ownership
- Working with local pounds and shelters to minimise the numbers of dogs euthanased
- developing and encouraging networks of communication for people involved in rescue and rehoming dogs
Two Mates Lost. Can You Help?
Nat (the dog) and Noillie (the cat) were picked up together by the ranger. They were more worried about each other than what was happening to them. It seems a shame to break up a friendship like that. Does anyone want a readymade family? Please go to their page to see more photos of the gorgeous pair » Nat and Nollie.
Our Seniors
They may be getting on a bit, they may have lost that cute puppy look, but they still are a pup at heart and have a lot to give - unconditional love, companionship, loyalty, warmth and a good laugh every now and then. Take Flynn or Chad for example - not pretty fluff balls, but loving boys waiting for their forever home.
