Starting Over Dog Rescue

About

Welcome to Starting Over Dog Rescue. We are a registered not for profit company, and have dgr status with the ATO. We are staffed totally by volunteers who either work full time or have young families. If we do not reply straight away, please be patient. We will contact you as soon as we are able to do so.

Every Year in Australia over 250 000 healthy and rehomable dogs and cats are killed. We are a small group trying to make a difference to those statistics.

We offer wonderful family companions for adoption, saved from death row.

WHAT WE DO

A Community Network of people dedicated to saving the lives of unclaimed or unwanted Victorian pound dogs from Euthanasia.

ADOPTION INFORMATION

Starting Over Dog Transition Process

All of our dogs are placed in foster care in stable homes in the community, where they are assessed for suitability over a 2 week period. Our dogs are then advertised through the PetRescue website and other methods. We love posting our dogs, current and rehomed, on facebook.
Please come and join us at Starting Over Dog Rescue on facebook.

Our dogs are priced according to vet-work and transport costs. We are a non profit rescue group run solely by unpaid volunteers.

Community Support

We rely on donations for food, petrol, blankets, kennels and bedding, collars and leads to ensure our foster carers are equipped to take care of our beautiful rescued dogs.

Starting Over Dog Placement

We match the owner to the dog. Our dogs are only placed on suitability, not on first application. We have various purebreds and x-breeds.

Starting over Dog Rescue Adoption Cost

Our dog prices start at $350 and cut off despite vet and transport costs at $1000. All of our dogs are placed in to their permanent homes: C5 Vaccinated ($65) De-sexed $180-$250 (included) Micro-chipped $60 (included) Wormed ($5-10) Frontlined ($15) Temperament Assessed Basic Vet Health check

If you would like to join Starting Over Dog Rescue, we welcome new members and especially the "rare breed" of foster carers. The more foster carers we have, the more lives we can save.

Twix *Assisted Rehoming

Bull Arab Mix

Loyalty plus

******Please APPLY / ENQUIRE using this link. http://www.startingoverdogrescue.org.au/adoption--expression-of-interest-form.html ******Only these completed applications will be responded to.******* Twix is looking for an active pet free family that will include her in their daily activities, she is good with children but best suited to those 12 years old and above. Extremely loving, loyal and gentle girl, who is happiest when with you, she doesn't like to be left for long periods without human company. She has a sharp mind and wants to use it, so stimulating toys and daily training are a must. She will follow you around and snuggle on the couch. She is crate trained, house trained and has basic obedience (sit, shake, stay, drop). She always wants to meet other dogs, but would be best as an only fur baby or in a house with a submissive male dog. She loves her walks and wants to see everything the world has on offer, she will come with an appropriate training harness to help her learn desired leash skills. Twix really enjoys her exercise, she is so intelligent and with the time and correct process will become an extremely well trained dog. She just needs someone to guide her to become the best companion she can be. Located Fraser Rise area (near Hillside) ******Please APPLY / ENQUIRE using this link. http://www.startingoverdogrescue.org.au/adoption--expression-of-interest-form.html ******Only these completed applications will be responded to.*******

Grizzle .... Super Smart Goofball

Bull Arab x Mastiff Mix

Looking for love

Please fill in an application using the below link. http://www.startingoverdogrescue.org.au/adoption--expression-of-interest-form.html Only completed applications will be responded to Grizzle 12 month Bull Mastiff X BIG super sweet boy looking for love and that big comfy couch to chill on. Grizz is very affectionate, loves being around people but is also OK entertaining himself for the day. He has grown up with other dogs, but at the moment needs to be in a one dog family. He is very smart, very quick to learn and will be amazing with ongoing training. Grizz is both crate and toilet trained. He has been living with 2 cats and is learning to 'leave' the cat. Being a young dog and a large young dog, he would be better suited at the moment to a family without small children or animals. Located in Coburg North.

Kelpie Mix

Affecfionate & loving

******Please APPLY / ENQUIRE using this link. http://www.startingoverdogrescue.org.au/adoption--expression-of-interest-form.html ******Only these completed applications will be responded to.******* I'm a very playful girl and absolutely adore playing in the park and snuggling down for cuddles at night. I'm very easy to train and I already respond well to sit, drop and stay. I'm really affectionate and have been well socialised around other dogs. I'm the happiest being the only dog in the home and can guarantee I'll give you lots of love and affection. At the moment, whilst I'm still young, I love mouthing things to show my excitement and affection, however this isn't me being aggressive, just playful and enthusiastic. I can't wait to meet my new family so I can settle in and share my love with you. When you take one look into my eyes you will see, I've got plenty of love to share.

He is approx 20kg. He loves being active and is usually moving about when outside. He is starting to become calm when inside the house. Cylo is learning to walk calmly using a halti. Cylo loves being around people and dogs but would not be suited to a household with cats or chickens. He is happy sleeping outside or inside. He doesnt mind which. He loves the freedom of being outside He would play all day long if he could find another dog that would play with him. He loves playing with my dog! Cylo has learned to sit and wait for his dinner. He is a quick learner but has trouble resisting his urges to play and interact. Cylo is a lot of fun but needs some training to help him to focus and reach his full potential. Cylo likes to know what is happening on the other side of the fence so a secure yard is a must. He is a lovely boy that like all dogs just needs some guidance to learn. This boy is amazingly clever, and with someone prepared to teach him tricks and channel his intelligence, you will have a ripper dog Training will be provided if adopted in Melb.
