Welcome

Dog Rescue Inc
Based in Bayside Victoria, MDR rescue dogs and puppies of all sizes, ages and breeds, from pounds and shelters across Victoria.
[ Winter Appeal ]
Its almost here again, the miserable winter weather. As you snuggle up with your pooch on the couch, or try to squeeze in next to them in front of the heater, spare a thought for the poor abandoned dogs and puppies sitting alone in their pens in the freezing cold, on concrete floors. We have a higher incidence of dogs arriving with severe Kennel Cough, as well as pneumonia, and chest infections. We desperately need your help, to help save these dogs! With some very large vet bills recently, we are running out of funds to be able to rescue these dogs!

Please consider an early Christmas present to the dogs, any amount no matter how big or small will be a HUGE help.
[ Dog Of The Week ]
Lucy
Large female Rottweiler
After 10 years together, Lucy has been surrendered by her owner, who sadly had to sell his house due to interest rate rises. Accommodation where Lucy was permitted to stay could not be found. This is how she ended up with Melbourne Dog Rescue.
She is a lovely old girl, who has plenty of character, has basic obedience training, and loves her walks. She is quite gentle, has been around children, and gets on well with most other dogs (she is a dominant female). She is still “with it”, and has lots of life left in her; she will make a great companion for anyone - Older or Younger, families or singles.
Lucy has scoured her foster carer’s back yard for all the puppy toys, and has a nice collection of them in her bed and will play with them for a good hour. It’s almost like she has her second wind, she plays with -and puts up with- her foster carers puppy with no problems at all.
Lucy has a wonderfully funny personality she reminds us of a cuddle bear - she will do anything for a belly rub, or to have her ears scratched, and she is quite partial to a massage. She bounces on her front legs while sitting, when she gets excited (usually at walk or dinnertime).
For the first time Lucy sleeps indoors, and has found out just how comfy a queen size bed is, once she is on, good luck getting her off - she thinks she is in heaven.
Lucy needs to lose about 10kg. While we are working on this while she is in foster care - her adoptive family will have to keep an eye on how much she eats - She is great at tricking you into believing she is starving.
