Lovely Luna is new to the Vic Dog Rescue crew. What her carer has told us after her first couple of days is that Luna is sweetness personified. She is calm and loving with people, comfortable being handled and enjoys trips in the car. This snugglepot is a world class napper, happy to sleep in her bed near you through the night, and snooze in sunny spots throughout the day. She is housetrained and good about going out, but has not yet worked out the role of a doggy door in her foster digs.
Luna has some minor skin irritations and stiffness that we are having assessed by our vets. She does not seem to have learned basic commands yet, but is keen to please, extremely motivated by food, and young enough to learn. Indeed, training Luna is likely to be a mutual exercise in joy. Luna is more couch potato than athlete and, while she enjoys sniffing the outside world and is calm when out and about, she is not particularly enthusiastic about walking. This may be who Luna is, or may be related to her current health or a sign that she needs to build some confidence on the lead with some rewards-based training. Either way, we suspect Luna will prove to be a pretty low-energy girl, happy with gentle strolls and play, along with human company and naps (did we say she likes naps?). Luna is not yet tested with children or other dogs, but shows a friendly and calm demeanor at home and on walks.
Luna will do best in a home where she has regular company, affection, snuggles and lots of good places to nap. True to her breed, she will need access to climate controlled indoor environments, particularly during hot weather. We will update Luna's profile as we get to know her better. If she strikes a chord in your heart in the meantime, please get in touch.
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.

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.
