About Elton Moriarty
TO APPLY FOR ADOPTION PLEASE SEND IN APPLICATION FORM AVAILABLE BELOW:
https://www.victoriandogrescue.org.au/adopt/
Elton is a gentle and loveable boy who is very laid back and easy going. He loves being with his favourite people and foster sister, either sitting alongside them or keeping close by to see what's going on because he has an inquisitive nature. He has shown that older dogs can indeed learn new tricks!
He has learned to use the doggie door and mostly mastered house
training. He sleeps in the bedroom and takes himself out to toilet when
required. He now knows sit and has nearly perfected stay.
He is good with other dogs and loves to travel in a car as long as he’s
in the back seat. However, he is not a big fan of going for walks - this
is a work in progress.
He is a lovely little man, who has a wonderful sense of self and is easy
to care for.
He will continue to thrive in a home where his training will continue,
ideally with a doggie friend or at least people who are around so he can
keep them company, make them smile and entertain them with his great
personality.
Please note: our dogs are not available for interstate adoption. We also do not adopt to people under the age of 25 years.

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.
Medical notes
No known pre-existing conditions. Weight: 9kg.
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.
