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.

Beatrice or Bea as she has come to be known is a cheeky, loving, fun, cuddly and smart girl. This boisterous young lady with lots of energy is looking for a loving home where she can thrive. Beatrice loves nothing more than following her humans around and is quick to flop onto her back for some tummy rubs when she needs attention. Her love of chasing balls is only equalled by her love of chewing them. When she isn’t running around, she can be found snoozing in the sun.

Beatrice came to us quite emaciated.  When she was found as a stray she had obviously had pups quite recently and she was in such a bad way initially she stayed at the vet rather than going to the pound.

At present even though Beatrice is living with another dog she prefers not to have visiting dogs and to keep her own space. Beatrice loves her food and will resource guard against anyone trying to take it. She will also take advantage of any food left around or a cupboard left open to help herself. She has even been known to jump up onto the kitchen bench if she smells something delicious. She walks well on a lead but gets cranky if other dogs get into her personal space – we are working with Beatrice on this and time and patience will make a world of difference.
Beatrice’s new family would need to be committed to providing Bea with loving guidance and training to work on her reactivity and resource guarding behaviours.

Beatrice understands some basic commands such as sit, off and stop but would benefit from some further obedience training. Beatrice is house trained.

Beatrice would be best suited to a home with a family who can provide her with enough exercise and mental stimulation to keep her energy levels under control. She would be better in a home with more than one person to reduce her resource guarding traits.

If you are looking for a sweet girl to adore then Beatrice is the one for you!
