Are you looking for love on legs? A pup who brings joy to all around
her? Then Divine Ms Dizzy may be the girl for you. Dizzy is the sweetest
girl who just adores her humans. With a heart of gold to match the
flecks in her coat, Dizzy is an absolute delight. Her tail, although
half the length goes at twice the speed. And she will excitedly walk
sideways towards you, curved like a banana so you can immediately pat
her side/butt.
She has settled in beautifully with her foster family, loving the hubbub
of a busy home, and proving to be friendly and gentle with all humans,
small and big, and a playful companion to her canine foster brother.
Dizzy loves a cuddle, likes to keep a chew toy or two on hand in her
bed, and is the zoom queen at the local dog park, thriving on making new
friends. She has also made some great doggy friends at dog day care.
Dizzy is housetrained and sleeps quietly through the night near her
foster carers' bed. She is a very special girl who quickly makes her way
into the hearts of all around her. That said, Dizzy has not been tested
with cats.
With her sociable nature and love for her people, Dizzy initially
struggled with separation anxiety but we feel she will be able to cope
much better once she has settled in with her doggy friend. Her foster
carers have been helping Dizzy with this through doggy daycare, and
leaving her outside with her foster brother and toys and frozen kongs to
entertain her when they are out for shorter periods. Dizzy has also
recently started some medication to help her manage her anxiety. Crate
training may also help her feel more secure. While Dizzy adores getting
out and about, she is still getting used to walking on lead and would
benefit from further loose lead training on a balance harness. While she
needs some work on boundaries Dizzy responds well to training. Dizzy is
quite the athlete and would very likely thrive with training and dog
sports. She is happy to tag along with you on errands and is very well
behaved and responsive to her people.
This glorious girl will do best in a family or active couple home where
she is surrounded by love, a little action, and lots of pats. Regular
exercise and a chance to interact with doggy friends at home and at the
local park will make Dizzy very happy indeed. Dizzy wants people around
more often than not, and her adoptive family will need to commit to
helping her further manage her anxieties about being left without her
humans.
Delightful Dizzy will repay this kindness with endless gentle adoration.
If you think Dizzy might be the dog for you, she would love you to
submit an adoption application.
Thank you to Liv Morison of Liv Morison photography for the fantastic
professional photos of Dizzy.

All our dogs are desexed, C5 vaccinated with intranasal, microchipped,
wormed, and flea treated. All necessary vetwork such as dentals,
surgery, eye treatment are also carried out. We are no longer heartworm
testing as we have not had one positive test since we began in 2006. If
a dog comes to us on heartworm treatment this is continued.

Adoption details
We are a community fostercare network, not a shelter, and our dogs and cats are cared for in private homes. Note that we are very careful where we rehome our dogs and cats and we have an intensive process. If you want a quick turnaround we are not the group for you. If you seem like a good match for the dog of your choice we will organise a telephone chat, a meet and greet and a property check. We offer free assistance for six weeks for any issues, a lifetime takeback policy with full refund of the adoption fee, and will always be available to offer advice.
We care for our dogs and cats and we want you to as well. We know that genuine applicants have no trouble with this process and understand that if we refuse you a dog or cat, it is because you are not the best match for that pet.
Our commitment to the dogs and cats in our care is total and we treat each one as if we are passing on a family pet. This may not suit you so we point out that there are equally great dogs and cats available in pounds, shelters and with other rescue groups.
If you are still interested, please download an application form from our website:

Please note that we do not take/make telephone calls prior to receiving an application.
Commonly asked questions and their answers are provided when you email us. Unfortunately we usually will not have time to reply to enquiries in more detail and will give priority to completed applications over enquiries. Priority will also be given to typed applications which are easier for us to read and to copy relevant parts.
We look forward to receiving your application.
