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.

Looking for a devoted pocket rocket? Holly may be your girl. This tiny princess is looking for love with someone who has time to devote, can offer a calm home, and is willing to throw a (small) ball at regular intervals.
Holly is looking for a new home through no fault of her own and she has been well-loved through her life to date. She is a shy girl and, although she loves to stretch her tiny legs and enjoy some play, Holly is pretty scared of the world around her. She has lived with another small dog in the past but prefers to keep to herself and her person. While never aggressive, Holly can be wary around new people and is quite frightened of other dogs. This sweetie enjoys her toys and human affection. She sleeps in her own bed but is more than happy to share her person’s if given the chance (just don’t squish her).
Holly is used to spending some time on her own during the day and is typically quiet and well-behaved around the home, where she stays indoors. She has not been formally house-trained so will need some help learning routines and expectations in her new home. Holly is okay being handled when needed by vets and groomers, but she does appreciate reassurance and support, which is understandable given how small she is and how big the world is.
Holly will do best as a single pet in a calmer adult home with a person or people who can give her love and security. She would benefit from games that give her mental stimulation and some further training and gradual exposure to the world to help her build her confidence. Holly will be okay being alone while her people are out for work or play, as long as she is not left for excessive periods and she gets plenty of love and attention when you are home. If Holly speaks to your heart, she would love you to submit an inquiry.

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.
