How to post in this forum

This forum has been created specifically for aiding in the re-homing of URGENT dogs that are in a rescue situation. (see below for more info on what constitutes a rescue situation). Keep all 'general' rescue discussion in the main Rescue forum.

To better enable the most effective use of this forum, if you start a new topic, please ensure you accept responsibility to update the current status as required so that obsolete information is kept to a minimum.

When creating the title, please post in the format specified (on the post screen) so potential rescuers have a good idea of things from the title without having to open the thread.

When you deem the dog is no longer in need of rescue, please edit the initial post and use the symbol to alert the moderators that it needs to be moved to the 'Past Requests' forum. This will unclog the Request forum, whilst still allowing people to discuss past rescues if they desire.

If the dog is no longer deemed 'Urgent' but is still in need of rescue and you wish for it to be transferred to the 'Non-Urgent' forum, please Click the 'Report' button and request the thread be moved to non-urgent.

What is a rescue dog?

In order to keep this Rescue Forum as useful as possible (and to help the dogs in greatest need), please use these 2 simple criteria when posting.

• All dogs listed must be genuine rescues. (i.e. the dog is currently either in a pound/animal refuge or in a foster care situation). Private re-homing is not generally premitted unless the dog risks being harmed, neglected, or will be surrendered to a pound if a home is not found quickly (also see below about private re-homing).
• Dogs in a private home, foster care or in a rescue groups/individuals care must be advertised as desexed. The only exemption is when the dog is;
  1) Elderly
  2) Too young (There must be a condition in the contract where the dog must be desexed when old enough AND/OR a desexing voucher given. Please state this condition when posting.)

Private re-homing

If you need to re-home your own dog (or you need to re-home a dog on behalf of the current owner) and it is not urgent, please see the "Do you want to re-home your dog" topic for help. A dog in his situation is not really rescue and as such has more appropriate areas where they can be advertised. This will free up the resources for this forum for the dogs in real need.

New thread for September






CAN SOMEONE PLEASE PLEASE HELP THESE 2 LOVELY BOYS! THEY HAVE BEEN THERE FOR WAY TO LONG. I WILL ASSIST WITH THERE FEED TO HELP THE NEW OWNERS/CARERS.

IMPOUND #:5468
NAME:Kelso
AGE:2 years
SEX:Male
DESCRIPTION:German Sheperd x
AVAILABLE:21-july

INFO: 5468/5469-Ridgy x boys.What a lovely pair of boys! Being typical teens these dynamic duo are perfect for the family who want 2 dogs that blend together. The pound would love to see these boys stay together if possible(but not essential). Strong on lead but settled quickly. Showed good body language to all and sundry and food orientated. Happy to be handled all over and no obvious issues noted.

IMPOUND #: 5436 - REHOMED
NAME:Cindy
AGE:18 months
SEX:Female
DESCRIPTION: Domestic cat
AVAILABLE:Now




IMPOUND #:5480 - REHOMED
NAME:annabell
AGE:5 months
SEX:female
DESCRIPTION:domestic kitten
AVAILABLE:24-july


IMPOUND #:5484
NAME:Tia
AGE:2 years
SEX:female
DESCRIPTION: staffy x
AVAILABLE:now
INFO: Tia was rehomed by us in February of this year. Tia was brilliant with other dogs, showed no sign of any bad behaviour at all and overall was a beautiful natured dog. On the 19th of July, she was surrendered by her owner because Tia is apparently extremely dog aggressive and food aggressive. She has multiple scars on her head and face and looks like she has been through hell. Tia needs some help. She is still a very affectionate dog but does show some signs of dog aggression, but not to the point that the owner would suggest. We believe that her behaviour is based on her treatment in the last few months and that she can definately be rehabilitated.
I have had a 2nd opinion from Sandy Lack from Open Paw who advised that Tia's more likely has been mistreated and needs rehabilitation.
If anyone can please help Tia we would really appreciate it. We obviously don't have the time that Tia needs and until she gets the rehabilitation she needs we will not rehome her to the public. Our only option is to find a rescue organisation that can help her.

Trying to see if we can get someone there
to take a pic of her

If any group is interested pls PM me

[attachment=220544:Buddy.jpg]Buddy, 11 though actually 12 mths now, is out of time.
black and white boy who is sociable beyond belief. Loves to play ball(doesn't give it back yet) and tug o war. Would make some kids very happy or possibly even do agility. He is very athletic and agile, but doesn't use this in any negative way. Far too nice to go out in a bag.

He plays with, amongst others"=:

Milly, 2 years. female, now out of time.
white with black patches who likes to play, so long as her playmates dont get in her face all of the time. She has a very sweet affectionate side that people are missing, because the shelter environment is not good for her. Her tiny bit of herding instinct, means small children would be inappropriate.....but older kids and adults.....no problem.

Both these gorgeous dogs were surrenders and we would love to see them have a good home.

They are still available and will keep as long as possible......but more coming.
see website. http://www.rspcavic.org/pet_adoption/bendigo_adoption.htm

Just a little reminder, so we don't have to trawl and see what are current please?
