https://www.victoriandogrescue.org.au/about-vicdrg/adoption-and-foster-application-forms.html
The lovely Archie Aylesbury is a great little dog. Although not that keen on being picked up, Archie enjoys couch time with his people and resting his face/paws on you, and is an affectionate guy.
Archie also loves a wrestle and playtime, chasing sticks and tennis balls (and chewing on them). He is good on lead and isn’t fussed by other dogs, small or large, on walks. He just gives them a sniff and continues on his way.
He has shared his home with a cat without any concerns and is house trained.
HOWEVER he is an intelligent boy but cheeky and will see what he can get away with. So he will need an experienced person who can understand where he is coming from, do training, play mental games with him, and generally give him something to keep him content.
Archie gets on well with other dogs and may like to live with a female dog. To date he has lived with a sibling and although they quarelled sometimes generally they got on well, but he will try to boss a dog around. He has been fine with visiting dogs and loves a play, interacting well.
Archie is obsessed with food – perhaps because of short supply on the puppy farm he came from – and will resource guard against another dog /try to take their food.
If you want a dog with a sense of adventure and lots of energy but in a cute package Archie may well be the dog waiting for 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.
Victorian Dog Rescue & Resource Group Inc is a registered not-for-profit charity.
We appreciate our sponsors and all our donors so much, as without them we would not be able to save the pets we do, or run our programs that reach into the community to give a helping hand. Are you able to donate, sponsor or want to leave a bequest?
For more information please go to the links below. We so much appreciate your kindness.
This pet has been adopted and found love with its new family.
