All of our pets have a health check at our vets, and are vaccinated and desexed at a minimum. As most of them are elderly, many require more treatment such as visits to specialists, dentals etc. Are you able to contribute towards the costs of rehoming your pet?*

PLEASE READ:

Please do not waste our time shopping around for options for your dog. If we agree to have your dog assessed and/or find a foster carer or adopter for your dog, we must be the only group involved. You must not continue to ask around your networks for a home for your dog. We have limited foster care places available, and if we are allocating a foster carer to your dog, that is taking the place away from another dog.

If you are looking around for options for your dog and cannot find an appropriate rescue group, you can approach a no-kill shelter like AAPS – The Australian Animal Protection Society. We are volunteers, and working to find a rescue place and the proessing of surrenders is time-consuming. To have people suddenly stop responding, or take their dog elsewhere is frustrating, apart from our concern as to the future of the dog.

We are serious about what we do and are not here to be a backstop in case you find a better option.
I have read and agree to the above information*

How is your dog with other dogs? Please explain your dog's behaviour.*
How is your dog when he meets other dogs on a walk on lead? Is he reactive, does he bark, growl, or is he friendly?*
How is your dog with people? Please tell us how he is with family, and strangers*
Would you trust your unsupervised with a cat? Has your dog had any previous contact with cats? If so, can you explain your dog's behaviour?*
Does your dog have any ongoing health issues?*
If we do not have a foster home available, are you able to keep your dog until an adopter or foster home can be found? If yes, for how long?*
Do you need your dog moved by a certain date?*

YesNo
If you answered yes to a certain date please tell us the date
If we proceed with the rehoming process, we may require an assessment of your dog by our external dog behaviouralists. This is to get a full, unbiased opinion of your dog's rehoming suitability and to write up an appropriate profile to potential adopters and foster carers.
Do you agree to us passing on your details to our behaviouralists so that they can contact you to arrange a suitable time for an assessment?*

YesNo
Our preferred assessor works out of the South Eastern Suburbs of Melbourne. Would you be able to travel to that area for an assessment if needed?*

YesNo
If we do not have a carer who is suitable for your dog we may advertise on Facebook for a new carer. Of course any carer who applies through a Facebook ad will need to go through our normal rigorous screening process (application, phone interview, property check).
Are you happy with us advertising your dog/s on our public Facebook page for a new carer if needed?*

YesNo
Please upload a photo (or photos) of your dog/s
