About Siggy Elphinstone
TO APPLY FOR ADOPTION PLEASE SEND IN APPLICATION FORM AVAILABLE BELOW:
https://www.victoriandogrescue.org.au/about-vicdrg/adoption-and-foster-application-forms.html
Siggy is a polite and vibrant, young dog looking to become your new best friend. She is a beautiful Koolie x staffy who is looking to find someone to call her first family. Siggy can get quite excited to see you at times but knows when to settle down for a hug. She knows a few things such as sit and responds to her name, and she is easily motivated by food so teaching her new things with treats will train her very quickly. She is almost fully house trained.
Siggy is very new to this world, and therefore needs someone who can train her and help her become the best dog we all know she can be. As she is still a puppy, she is full of energy and is always excited to try/do new things. Siggy is a wonderful dog who is always looking for a cuddle and is extremely affectionate.
Siggy is a great companion to learn with and to learn from. Siggy would do great in a house where they have lots of time available to train her, and a dog companion who could show her the ropes. She has a sparkling personality which she uses to make you laugh and brighten up your day. If you’re looking to find your new best friend, Siggy is very excited to meet you.

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.

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.
