Meet your new best mate.

Once your application has been submitted, it will usually take a few days for our foster carers to review it. Dogs receiving a large number of applications may take a little longer.

If your application is shortlisted as a potential match, the foster carer will contact you for a short phone interview.

Adoption fees vary depending on the dog and are shown in each dog’s adoption profile.

Every dog is desexed, microchipped and up to date with vaccinations before adoption. Adoption fees contribute towards this veterinary care and help us continue supporting other dogs waiting for their chance to start over.

We often have litters of puppies but do not post them on our website until they are at least 8 weeks old and ready for adoption.

Due to the number of applications we receive on a daily basis, we are unable to keep a waitlist for dogs of a specific breed. Please continue to check our Adopt section of our website to view available rescues and submit an application when you see a dog you would like to adopt and is suitable for your lifestyle.

Absolutely! We regularly consider interstate applications.

The only catch is that we don’t send dogs to people they’ve never met. We think such a big decision deserves a proper introduction first.

If you’re happy to travel to Victoria for a meet and greet, please mention that in your adoption application. We’d love you, your family and any resident dogs to meet your potential new family member to make sure everyone gets along and it feels like the right fit.

Not every dog is suited to interstate adoption. Some of our senior dogs, puppies or dogs with medical or behavioural needs are better off staying closer to home, so we’ll always make that decision based on what’s in the dog’s best interests.

We take in owner surrenders on a case-by-case basis. However in the last few years we have been inundated with requests and simply don’t have the resources to help everyone. If you are looking to rehome your dog, please send us a detailed email with as much information on the dog as you can provide, including any and all medical records and some photos. We will get back to you as to whether we can assist or with recommendations of other rescues to try and reach out to.
