About Stig Dahlstrom
TO APPLY FOR ADOPTION PLEASE SEND IN APPLICATION FORM AVAILABLE BELOW:
https://www.victoriandogrescue.org.au/about-vicdrg/adoption-and-foster-application-forms.html
Stig is an absolute snugglebug. Although he may be an older boy who would never guess from all the fun he has. Stig is very much a puppy at heart, loving people and doggy friends, walks, cuddles, walks, teddy’s, long playful walks, and he is a super smart pup.
Stig has learnt so many commands, from the basics; sit, drop, come, up, down, etc. to some odd but very useful ones such as ‘yucky’ for leaving food and rubbish on walks and ‘leave’ for disengaging with other dogs. Stig is continuously soaking up new commands from training sessions with his foster humans. This has allowed him to become a model student for dog walking, happy to go at any pace, with a nice loose lead.
Stig has shown to get along wonderful with other dogs, as long as they are prepared for the play of a puppy. Stig has shown no interests in cats or birds.
Stig will be best suited to a home with people who are ready for lots of walks and training for mental stimulation, and a home that has another doggy friend for Stig to play with.
Do you see Stig as an important part of your life? If so, we would love to receive your application.

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.
