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.

ONE-EYED  COLLEROY – LOVES PEOPLE, HAPPY WITH OTHER DOGS AND KIND TO CHICKENS

Colleroy is a little sweetie who is looking for a new someone to help restore his upturned world. A friendly little boy, Colleroy had been with someone who neglected him terribly.

Colleroy loves to be with his people, is happy with other dogs and even kind to chickens. He is housetrained and has taken to using the doggy door in his foster home like a boss. Colleroy is quiet and calm around the house, enjoying snuggles with his people. He is a delight on lead, enjoying gentle strolls to smell the roses, and walking well while paying attention to his handler. Colleroy does not seem to know commands but is easy-going and willing to please.

In care, Colleroy initially showed a little anxiety when his foster people go out, becoming worried and occasionally forgetting his toileting etiquette. We think this may be in part because of his worries about the big changes in his life. Last check with his carers, he is doing very well. Colleroy had some skin allergies which have responded well to medication provided by our vets since he joined us. His missing eye causes him no trouble at all and just adds a jaunty angle to his cute little face.

Colleroy is looking for a new person or people who can provide him with a warm and loving home. He would love the chance to live with other friendly small dogs but will be equally happy on his own provided he has plenty of human company. While he is okay on his own from time to time, Colleroy will do better with people who are around a fair bit so he can adore and be adored in return. If Colleroy melts your heart, he would love you to submit an adoption application.

Microchip Number: 956000005378544
Source Number: RE120211
Medical Notes: Colleroy has very bad leathery skin on his rear end from an untreated flea allergy. He only has one eye. He has had two seizures six weeks apart and we are seeking advice on this. He has been to the cardiologist who said there is no need for heart meds.

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.
