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.

All dogs have their favourite things. For some it is walks or toys and for most of them it is food, but for Georgie, his favourite thing is his pack.

Sitting with his whole family in front of the TV makes him the happiest dog in the world. His foster family is two people, two dogs and two cats and if he can spend a few hours getting a cuddle from all of them – that’s just perfect. If it’s cold, he’ll even play a game of cuddle tetris and squeeze into a space where he can share the warmth with plenty of bodies.

Walking is the same. He likes going for a walk, but what he loves most of all is when his foster sisters come along. He is currently living on a farm, and what is better than an evening of sniffing rabbit holes with his mates? Not much, according to Georgie.

He is still a puppy and as you’d expect with a boy who has had an uncertain start to life, he is a bit nervous about a few things, but everyone who has met him is sure he’ll conquer his anxiety and grow up to be a fantastic little man. Before he came into care, he hadn’t met cats and he loves them now. He was jittery around big dogs too – but try telling him that while he tears around the yard with his big staffy foster sister. He is also learning basic commands and is showing clear progress with his toilet training.

His chewing is still a work-in-progress though and for that reason, his forever family will need to have people with experience training puppies. Puppies grow out of their chewing phase eventually, but he’ll need a calm environment to get there. It goes without saying that he’ll need to live in a house with another dog, actually even two or three other dogs would suit him well.

Does this sweet little fellow sound right for your family? if so, it’s application time.

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.
