About Lexi Wilberforce
TO APPLY FOR ADOPTION PLEASE SEND IN APPLICATION FORM AVAILABLE BELOW:
https://www.victoriandogrescue.org.au/about-vicdrg/adoption-and-foster-application-forms.html
Lexi is the sweetest, most endearing girl.
She has settled well into foster care and her foster mum calls her: “the cutest little bean”.
She is quiet and calm, good with other dogs and loves being picked up and snuggled. She also enjoys getting out and about on her walks, sniffing the world around her and having polite interactions with all dogs she meets on her way. Occasionally she stops and won’t go further, but as Lexi weighs 5kg that is easily solved by picking her up and giving her a cuddle all the way home.
Lexi likes to supervise when you are cooking in the kitchen to make sure anything that falls on the floor is cleaned up appropriately. She also enjoys daily yoga (she’s particularly good at salute to the sun) and relaxing on the couch or outside in the sunshine when it’s a nice day.
House training and basic commands are a work in progress, and she always requires inside/outside access.
Lexi would suit a home with someone around most of the time. She is great with other (calm/quiet/older) dogs that have a similar temperament to her own. She is okay on her own but much prefers doggie company and prefers to have her humans around as she LOVES them. She would not be suitable around young children as she is a very fragile girl.
Lexi is untested with cats.
Thank you to Jeanette Pritchard for the beautiful photos of Lexi.

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.
Medical notes
Weight: 4.5kg
Health: Lexi is from the pound and currently her health issues are being treated.
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.
