Meet Cardy. For a 13 year old Am-Staff, this lady holds her own! Her zest for life and energy will amaze you on a daily basis! Cardy is a smiling and wagging superstar!Cardy loves people, where it be at home or out on a walk, she is happy to greet everyone. Even a glance at her will set this little wagger off! She is a sucker for human touch and affection, always up for a cuddle.But don't let that fool you, Cardy ’s such a happy go lucky dog, happy to sleep if you want to relax but she’s also always up for a walk and attention or even a play with her toys and splashing around in the puddles she will inevitably find! Her favourite toy is a peanut butter Kong!Like a lot of Stafffy's, Cardy loves her food, but is well mannered as long as you are strict with her. She is very good at sharing her food and doesn't try to guard it or her toys. She enjoys a car ride where she can feel the wind beneath her ummm... ears?There’s not much Cardy doesn’t like, but she can get a little anxious when you first leave her alone to go out, but we’ve found after a few minutes she settles and just goes to sleep on her favourite furry blanket and making a little nest for herself to snuggle into.If Cardy was to go to a forever home with an existing pet, extremely slow introductions would be needed with confidence boosting work.

Hi,My name is Buddy, pleased to meet you.If you are looking for a friend who has loads of character and personality, then I could be the boy for you! I am not keen on being on my own a lot. I would much prefer to be doting on my humans than to be my own entertainment.If you have the time, I would love to tell you all about me. I had a very special person in my life who took really great care of me but things in his life changed and he was no longer able to look after me. So, here I am hoping to find my new best friend. I am extremely affectionate so wont disappoint anyone who is ready for lots of cuddles (and kisses). I have plenty of love and loyalty available in return for a full bowl, warm bed and lots of snuggles on the sofa.I am a very clever boy and my previous human taught me to sit, shake hands and I can even drop when I am asked to. Check out the video if you don't believe me :)Oh and I should mention that I am toilet trained too!When I get excited I can become a little jumpy but I do calm down quickly once my mature brain corrects my puppy brain. I am usually pretty happy and easy-going. Once I have settled from the excitement I will be over to you to curl up on your lap or to lounge back in your arms for more cuddles. My favourite part of the day is when we go for a walk. I am always happy to take on a new adventure and meeting new people is great fun. I like to turn on my amazing charm with my happy smile and adorable, friendly nature. Everyone loves me.I have been told that it will be very important for me to receive regular walks and outings in my new home which I am pretty happy about. Gotta watch my waist line.I do enjoy my walks and sometimes my eagerness makes it difficult for my foster dad so he suggests a harness or halti for my walks. I am a strong boy who needs to get to Point B quickly so I will need someone who is willing to spend the time teaching me how to walk in a calm manner and that it isn't a race. If you have lots of toys in your new home, we could have a perfect match. I love toys!My idea of a good toy is one that I can destroy quickly so old toys are a good option or some 'power chewer' or 'Extreme Kong' toys will keep me occupied for hours.I have been described as a very sociable boy. I am a big fan of humans, I have a great time playing with other dogs and have a few good mates who I currently see on a regular basis. It would be pretty cool to have a desexed doggy pal in my new home. Someone who has a similar build to me and they must be just as willing to have fun as I am. I'm sometimes not a fan of sharing treats so my foster dad always give me and my foster brother treats when we are on our bed and can't steal them from each other. Considering I am a big strong goof-ball, I would be best suited to a home with no young children or grandchildren. Cats and other small animals are a lot of fun to chase so a home without them around will suit me best.If you are home a lot and looking for a very loving, loyal, cuddly and may I say 'super cute' new companion, I may just be the pal you have been searching for.Please send an enquiry to the above address. The team know me well and if they think we could be a good match, they will be in touch shortly.I will not be happy in a place where I will be home alone for long hours. If you work fulltime or have a busy social life, please don't disappoint either of us by applying.Thanks for your time and I can't wait to meet youBuddy xx

Outgoing and very social, Clyde is looking for a home that can provide traininre lots and lots of fun and love.Clyde Is suitable for a home with existing pets and children who have had experience with puppies. He Is too young to be left alone all day just yet so not suitable for full-time workers. He's also too young to just be left out in the backyard so we're looking for a family are happy to have him indoors, cuddling on the couch and sleeping on someone's bed.We expect Clyde will mature into a heavy set dog, a little bigger than your average medium sized dog. He is quite gentle and happy to be crated.

Charlie was surrendered due to the drought, stock sold, no work. He is 10 to 11 months old, travels well in the car, is getting used to a lead and to other dogs.Charlie is a little shy and not overly confident. The home he goes to must be prepared to introduce new things slowly and allow him time to settle in and bond. Once he has confidence in you, he will be very loyal and loving.Charlie is used to periods of inactivity so he doesn't need excessive amounts of exercise. He just needs interaction with his family and lots of encouragement. No cats please. And no young children as we aren't able to test him with children. A yard with secure fencing will keep him happy while his people are at work.

Tia is out going and very people social. She is suitable for a home with active humans that can include her in their daily activities and who will continue her training. Tia loves walks and she loves to play under the hose in the yard with her humans. She isn't demanding of your attention and will manage alone while her family are at work /school as long as there is a walk or a game when you get home. Tia is best suited to a home as an only dog. ........ dumped at a pound with her young pup she was quite protective of him and she is just starting to accept the company of dogs. Tia's breed mix is a mystery : stumpy tail, white with tan patches, very fine and short coat. She is fully grown and about the size of lab.Lovely affectionate girl.

Benson is a very loyal fellow, looking for a home in need of a 4 legged best friend. He needs a bit of time to bond with new people but once the connection is made his loving nature shines through.Benson is a big boy and although he is very gentle , he has a habit of leaning on you when having a pat, so not suitable for small children. He loves to romp around the yard, and a walk every other day will cater to his needs.

Introducing lovable and loyal Angel.Angel has a lovable, engaging personality and enjoys interacting with her friends both human and canine! This adorable girl and her sisters are going to be BIG when she matures as she is a mix of Sighthound, Great Dane, Mastiff, and a couple of other large breeds. Angel likes playing with other dogs and still has more to learn so she will need a desexed MALE canine friend who will be big enough to play with her without getting squashed! When Angel isn’t playing, she is a couch potato and will join the puppy pile in front of the heater, stretching out those long legs of hers. Still being a puppy, she will jump up on people so until she has more training a home without small children is recommended. Socialization is important for puppies and this growing girl is no exception. She will need plenty of adventures, playdates with other dogs, and visits from humans that aren’t living in her home to continue building her social skills and manners when exciting events occur. Obedience training would give Angel a fantastic start to her new life to help her understand what her family expect from her.Angel has been trained to sleep in a crate at night and is well-behaved around cats, turtles, and chooks when they are in their pen. Her toilet training is still a work in progress, so her new family will need to be prepared to take this on. She is a smart girl and we are sure she will have it mastered in no time.We look forward to hearing from you if you and your MALE buddy are seeking a special new friend.Only homes with a desexed male companion of medium to large build will be considered to offer her the best possible start to life.Angel is currently in care in Ballarat, Victoria

Looking for a fun, loving and loyal companion to join you on those weekend hikes and camping trips? On the long drive to visit family? Someone to make those walks that little more enjoyable? Say hi to Indi!Indi is a very happy, very energetic Cattle dog mix. She loves people, her doggy friends, food, cuddles and running. She is looking for that special person to welcome her into their home and daily life. Being a working breed, Indy will require a canine pal and a family with strong leadership skills. The bond Indy will develop with her handler will be unbreakable.We will be looking for a home with no small animals and another similar sized/bigger, desexed MALE adult dog, with similar activity levels. Someone Indi can continue to learn from. So is now interacting and playing really well with the other dogs. She loves to follow them around and give them all kisses!We believe the stress of her pound stay, her plane flight to us and her change of environment were all factors in her reactions to other dogs. She is still young and a little insecure. For these reasons, we think the best home for Indi will be one where she has a canine buddy to offer her guidance and a sense of security.Indi is toilet trained, crate trained, walks well on leash, isn't fussed around children (may be boisterous at times, but primarily ignores them) and knows basic obedience (with implied stays) - sit, down, come, place, kennel, 'yes' and her release word 'ok'.When Indi first arrived, she was somewhat reactive to other dogs, in which she would become highly focused on other dogs, before lunging. This stemmed from incorrect socialisation and a lack of direction. Once settled in her foster home, with an understanding of rules and what behaviour is acceptable, she became a much happier and calmer pup! She now happily lives with other dogs - however is never left home alone with the smaller dogs, just to be safe.Indi's new family will also need to have at least a basic understanding of how to read and interpret dog body language (and/or the willingness to learn)All in all, Indi would thrive in an active household, with people who aren't afraid to enforce boundaries when needed, and who are committed to continue Indy's training, as she is still quite young. She thrives off of structure, direction and strong leadership.If you have any questions or think you may be what Indi is looking for, please send us an enquiry telling us a little about what you can offer!Indi is located in Ballarat.

Hi there, my name is Lorelai and I have been surrendered to the RSPCA with all my brothers & sisters, & wow, aren't we stunning!

If Ziggy and Lola were Instagram influencers, they'd be all about that active lifestyle, nature-loving, juice cleanses, and avo on toast. And would definitely have a swarm of followers because they're just plain adorbs <3 Ziggy and Lola are the ideal pets if you lead an active life, or are aspiring to start one. They'll be your hike buddies, fellow yogis, stroll partners, and running mates. They're obedient, affectionate, and incredibly loyal. They are all about that outdoorsy, in-touch-with-nature life, so rest assured they'll help you embrace your greener side. They thrive on exercise which keeps them happy and cheerful and maintains their good behaviour.Ziggy is a gentle soul who is very affectionate towards his family and highly athletic. He loves to run and explore the big outdoors. He's good with familiar dogs but will need to be kept at a safe distance from cats, birds, rabbits due to the breed's natural prey drive towards smaller animals. Lola is everything you would expect of a labrador, kelpie, staffy cross. She loves her humans and will gladly hop on a lap for cuddles. She's a big nature-lover like her buddy Ziggy and isn't too fond of being separated from him. She'll collect and bring treasures to her owner (a leaf, a flower) and is a steadfast companion. Because she's such a gentle soul, Lola isn't too fond of loud noises.Both of these munchkins are toilet trained and good with kids who are above the age of 12. They are very well (professionally) trained but as always consistency is key when it comes to training, and they'll require a good leader to make sure their manners stay in check.Their vocabularies are broad and they respond to all the usual commands and more.An ideal home for Ziggy and Lola would be with active singles or couples home who are mostly at home including, stay at home parents, someone that works from home, part-time workers, empty-nesters or active-retirees. They'd love a nice and secure yard to stretch their legs.These dogs love their peeps, so they absolutely need in on all that family fun! So if you're a couch potato looking for inspiration to get out of the maze of laze, or a part-hipster, part-fitness guru who loves the outdoors, then these doggos may just be the best bet for you!---------------------Contractual Note - cannot be separated after adoption in accordance with Dog Adoption Terms and Conditions.

Sweet cuddlebugs Lulu (12 years) and Lilly (10 years) are a reluctant surrender due to the health of their beloved person who has shared their life since they were puppies. They are very bonded and will be rehomed together.Lulu is a quiet, gentle and loving little girl. She loves her walks where she is very alert and likes to sniff the trees. Her whole world revolves around her people and her daughter Lilly who she will never miss an opportunity to snuggle with.Lilly has a stronger personality and is more active than Lulu, but is a very affectionate soul who loves to be in your company. She shows her appreciation with lots of licks just to make sure you know how much she loves you.Both dogs walk well on the lead and have good recall. Lilly does bark at other dogs on walks, but both she and Lulu are sharing their foster home with another dog and they get along well. They would be fine sharing a home with other small dogs when properly introduced.These adorable girls will prosper in a quiet home; as companions for someone who has lots of love to give, and who has time to take them for leisurely walks and share their day with them. Their new family will accommodate their love of soft beds and two meals a day which they look forward to.Lilly tends to chase cats a bit - but has learned not to react so much to the cats she lives with. Lulu also would learn to settle with a dog-savvy cat.You cannot help but fall in love with these quirky, lovable pair of ladies....they are the perfect pair - and really deserving of a loving home.Age/DOB: Lilly 28/09/2008, Lulu 24/10/2006Microchip Number: Lilly 956000010100243, Lulu 972000000569946All updates can be found at the link below:https://www.victoriandogrescue.org.au/dogs-for-adoptionPlease note: our dogs are not available for interstate adoption.
