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.

Anson is a delightful little poppet on the lookout for his new family. Snuggly and friendly with people large and small, Anson loves his soft toys and is currently working out his opinion about chasing balls. This smart little guy is reliably housetrained and has a range of basic commands down pat, although he could do with polishing his skills in returning when called. Anson is crate-trained and sleeps well through the night in his carers’ room. Around the house, he is happy keeping himself busy with his toys and spending time with his people. He is generally relaxed at home although occasionally takes offence to unexpected neighbourhood sounds. In care, Anson has been left inside for a few hours from time to time and seems okay with this once he understands his people are coming back.
Out and about, Anson walks well on lead. His response to other dogs can be a bit inconsistent, with occasional barking and pulling towards passing pups. He would benefit from some further reassurance and rewards-based training on lead so he can overcome the uncertainties fuelling these reactions. so Anson is healthy but currently a bit itchy and needs a couple of medications to keep his skin and eyes in tip top condition. These are pretty easy to administer – we are happy to explain to prospective adopters.
Anson is a happy and adaptable chap who is likely to do well in a range of households where he has love, cuddles, toys, regular walks and the company of his people. He can manage apartment living as long as he has regular exercise and opportunities to toilet outdoors. He will cope being left alone at home for a few hours from time to time with inside access. We are not yet sure whether he would live happily with another dog. Anson’s carers have observed him being a bit twitchy around cats, so he will do best in a moggy-free home. If handsome Anson sounds like the dog for you, he would love you to make an adoption application.

All our dogs are desexed, C5 vaccinated with intranasal, microchipped, wormed and flea treated. All necessary vet work such as dentals, surgery, eye treatment is also carried out. We are no longer heartworm testing as we have not had one positive test since we began in 2006. If a dog comes to us on heartworm treatment this is continued.
