NB: We do not rehome interstate or to applicants under 25. It is our policy not to rehome dogs in the Sunraysia area. As rescue groups have transported thousands of homeless dogs from Mildura and Sunraysia pounds over the last decade, we do not intend to send any back there.

Albie is a gentle, intelligent boy with a heart full of love and the softest eyes you’ve ever seen. He’s a quick learner, incredibly sweet-natured, and loves to be part of whatever you’re doing. Wherever you are, he wants to be close by, or better yet, curled up like the tiniest donut right at your side.
Personality
Albie is bright, curious, and picks up new things fast. He’s already learned to sit and is mastering other commands like drop, though he’s still working on stay. He loves watching the world around him and keeping an eye on his people.
He can be a little timid, especially with loud noises in the same room, but he’s completely unfazed by loud sounds outdoors or other dogs barking. He’s also beginning to find his confidence—he even woke his foster up after just 24 hours to ask to go outside.
Behaviour and Training
•Very close to being toilet trained and learning quickly
•Doesn’t pull on the lead but wanders around the path
•May bark when someone comes through the door but stops once he recognises them
•Can sit, learning drop, and still working on stay
•Loves being held and melts into your arms
Ideal Home
Albie would thrive in a home where someone is around often. He loves companionship and isn’t ready to be an only dog home alone all day. Right now, he can manage about an hour alone to start with.
He would adore a home with a yard—he loves his zoomies and playing fetch. Smaller daily walks suit him perfectly for now (two 15-minute walks, increasing to 30 minutes as he matures).
A calm household where he can build confidence and continue learning will help him shine.
Other – Animals and Kids
•Dogs: Unknown in his current home, though previous owner said he was good with them
•Cats: Unsure
•Children: Unsure
Sweetest Soul
Albie just wants to belong. He is affectionate, loyal, and always watching what you’re doing—ready to join in or cuddle up. His big, gentle eyes will absolutely melt your heart.
