Meet Caramello Grimaldi AKA Mellow – an adorable, affectionate snugglebug. All this sweet boy wants is to be around his beloved humans all the time. Once he has established a bond you very quickly become his whole world. Mellow is energetic but also loves his beauty sleep.
Mellow is good with other dogs. He tries to greet and play with every single dog he meets. He is very friendly and tends to be submissive but does get very excited, especially with small dogs. He likes to chase them but all he really wants is to run and engage play.
An ideal home for Mellow will see him with company for most of the day, included in everyday life and being loved member of the family. He is possibly suited to live with a calm dog and potentially a dog savvy cat. He may chase cats but has grown up around a cat and he shows interest and tries to interact. His backyard will need good fencing, or a fence that he can’t climb.
Mellow understands the commands to sit, stay, wait, drop and shake. He is learning to heel and walk on the lead. He does pull when he sees other dogs on walks, but only because he gets excited and wants to say hello.
This amazing boy is a reluctant surrender. Giving Mellow his second chance will see your world enriched in so many ways. If you think Mellow is for you, please complete an application. Mellow can’t wait to meet you!
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.

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.
