About Ricky Ingersoll
TO APPLY FOR ADOPTION PLEASE SEND IN APPLICATION FORM AVAILABLE BELOW:
https://www.victoriandogrescue.org.au/about-vicdrg/adoption-and-foster-application-forms.html/
Ricky is a wonderful dog and a very reluctant surrender. He really does touch the hearts of everyone he meets and it is hard not to fall in love. Ricky loves his lick mat and many varied toys along with his comfort bear Boris who is half the size of him.
Ricky can be quite the chilled boy and often needs convincing to go for a walk. He will go for a walk with you, but when he has had enough will return the favor and walk you back home.
Ricky has been having regular training sessions where we are working on his confidence while out walking and calmly meeting other dogs on lead.
Ricky’s best friend is a little kelpie who lives next door to him – they play really nicely even when Ricky takes his friend’s frisbee.
This amazing boy will do well with a family with older teenagers or an adult person/couple. A settled, confident doggie friend to share his family and world with would be perfect for Ricky. Additional information about Ricky will be available soon.
Definitely no cats for Ricky.
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.
