Happy Tails
Ethan
The day Ethan joined our family in 2007 he was a very nervous and anxious boy. He had been in foster care for months after coming from Mildura Pound was suddenly thrust into a new home with a new family. He didn’t leave my side all afternoon…
Puppus Uchello
Puppus is a dream! He has been so relaxed from the minute he got in my car. He’s eating well and slept well. This morning when he came out to the kitchen he kept at me with his tail wagging like a windscreen wiper…
Sparrow and Storm
Wow, I have just realised it is 3 years since I adopted this gorgeous pair; how quickly time has gone and how much they have added to my life…
Gideon Zolly
Gideon has settled in really well and is such a great addition to our family, we don't know what we did without him. It was a slow start (it was about a week before he ventured out of his room!) but then he met our original cat O'Malley, and gradually grew to trust us all…
Vanya aka Parker
Parker is doing very well. He is the most beautiful little soul. We had our 6 year gotcha day last week…
Luna
Luna is doing really well, and we absolutely adore her. She has the most beautiful spirit, knows exactly what she wants, and always lets us know if she wants more cuddles…
Tarragon aka Bomb
We instantly called him Bomb because he answered to it and he was a power pack of energy anyway. Initially he was happy to be wrapped up and loved like a baby, never leaving our side…
Louie Olayinka
Louie Olayinka has settled in really well with our family and our other pets. He loves being with the family and going on his daily walk…
Honey Balfour
She has Spotty our 10 year old tenter field terrier and Pip our new rescue cat as friends and company and our three teenage daughters who adore her…
Tilly Quintana
Tilly has turned 19 now and all is going well with her. She enjoys her food and enjoys sleeping on the end of our bed…
Murphy (formerly Davie)
He has been a great companion for our other jack russell, Rosie, he loves his daily walks…
Sable Wintergreen
It has been nearly 4 years since I saw the urgent request for a foster carer for little Sable Wintergreen. (rescued from Melton Pound by VicDRG). My two adolescent sons were sceptical about me ‘fostering’ another dog, given I was already a once failed foster carer…
Illy
We changed his name to Illy when we got him as we though it suited him better. Illy is quite simply the best dog I could ever ask for. He works with me and helps me train and desensitise nervous, anxious, excited and reactive dogs. He helps with classes and is a calming influence on all dogs that meet him…
Soul
Soul is now called Ziggy - he has already easily picked up his new name and is very happy. We have named him after David Bowie (I am a very big fan!). We also think it suits his personality and his new life :) …
Pumpernickel
Pumpernickel has now been renamed as Pippi. She loves the garden and will always show off if we are out there with her…
Willow
Willow came to us with some anxiety and fears which led to her not being great with other dogs. She progressed with her carer but needed a peaceful home with people who understood her…
Billy Smith
Billy is settling in to our home really well. Loves being an indoor dog, loves his daily walks and has a new found family of 3 other dogs to play with…
Basil (formerly Callum)
This is our lovely Basil formerly Callum. What a difference? His sibling Caleb was abandoned by his family at the Lost Dogs Home …
Django (formerly Valentine)
Our little Django (formerly Valentine) has been with us now for nearly 3 years. He came to us at just 5 months old and a quiet a gentle little boy with a bad case of cherry eye…
Mitchell
Dear Little Mitchell came to us from Cassie, another VicDRG foster carer, and so began the story of a deeply felt, lifelong love…
