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.

Love squared
Are you looking for some low maintenance devotion? Wally and Ollie are a delightfully bonded duo whose world has been turned upside-down by the loss of their loving person. These two senior boys were rescues whose person gave them the love and low-key life they needed to come out of their shells and enjoy their small but rich world. Now, they are looking for another safe harbour where they can relax and fall in love again.
Wally and Ollie are housetrained, pretty self-contained as long as they have each other and used to being indoor dogs, but have recently discovered the joys of a sunny backyard. They sleep well through the night in their beds and are not morning dogs, preferring a solid lie in befitting their mature years. They have been leading a pretty quiet life so can be a bit timid when faced with new people and experiences. But, once you gain their trust, they attach quickly and are cutely affectionate, with their love for their person shining through.
The boys have not had a lot of experience of the big wide world but have proved in their current digs to be interested in the occasional stroll and fine on lead; Ollie can get a bit barky when he sees other dogs, while Wally is very chilled. They are reliable when left to their own devices around the house and, while they enjoy some snuggle time with their person, they are not overly-demanding of human attention. They are not very experienced travellers, but can cope with the occasional car ride when needs must. The boys can be a little wary of being handled by strangers, but are used to being groomed and visiting the vets. They are both in reasonable health for their ages.
Wally and Ollie are looking for a quiet home with a single person or couple with whom they can bond and enjoy their twilight years. They are homebodies who do not ask for much more than to be together with someone to love who loves them in return. A sunny spot, some soft beds and an occasional chance to smell the flowers would suit these two very well. If this sounds like the kind of life you too enjoy, Ollie and Wally would love to hear from you.
