Medivh is a gorgeous Labrador X He is your typical playful pup who’s full of energy. He spends his days playing with his siblings and the other dogs in his foster home, his chew toys and ropes. Medivh is still learning his manners, at the moment everything is a chew toy including your fingers and playing tug-a-war with your pants is great fun!
Medivh is learning basic commands and has already mastered sit. Toilet training is a work in progress.
He is fully crate trained and happily sleeps through the night.
Medivh’s adopter will have to commit to puppy school and his ongoing basic and obedience training and socialisation.
Medivh is looking for a loving family who has an existing doggy companion, who will allow him inside majority of the time, sleep inside and be included in everyday family life, and outings.
Located in Geelong.
Thank you for choosing rescue.

I’m Jack and I am a goofy two year old charming gentleman. I have grown up learning Mandarin, but am learning many news commands in English with my foster carer. I require a good sized yard because I love zooming around with a toy or two in my spare time. I love nothing more than acting like a lap dog but I am rather large (32kg) so a household with no children under 12 would be ideal.
Currency, I am learning how to share my toys and safely play with my foster without being rough. I am overly enthusiastic at times and am taking lessons in walking nicely on a leash. I still get very excited when I see other dogs. I need a fair bit of attention and activities to keep me occupied and I enjoy the company of my foster carer. Ideally my forever home would be one with a knowledgeable dog parent or two. Definitely no pocket pets or cats! I have never lived with another dog so might be better as your one and only.
I am good dog eager for you to teach me more, I saw a bus today, wow there is a lot going on in the world I haven’t seen… If you like what you read and are willing to help work on my training (I’ve been told I’m a work in progress), please get in touch with my friends at Forever Friends.

Nina is looking for an experienced home where someone is home most of the time. She needs some continued training to help her minor behavior issues , but you will be rewarded with the most loving and cuddly pup.
Nina has separation anxiety which is why she’s best suited to a home where someone is home most of the day. When left alone she whines and barks and has tried get out her crate in the past. She’s slowly getting used to being left alone for longer periods of time with the help of a crate and hopefully her new home can continue this.
She can also be unsure of new people at first. She warms up to women very quickly, but is quite wary of men on first meeting. She barks and growls at men at first, but introducing her outside the home reduces her reaction. She does eventually warm up to them and adores the two guys she’s been living live that last couple months.
She is a little reactive to other dogs so dog parks aren’t for her. However, her reactivity towards other dogs has improved drastically over the last couple months and there’s definitely room for even more improvement. She will need a slow introduction if she will be living with another dog.
She needs a fairly active home due to her working breed. She would love to join you on runs, long walks, car rides or any other outing. In saying that, Nina is also quite content to sleep the day away if she knows you’re around. When we go out and about she will lay down to snooze and is well behaved inside dog friendly shops.
She loves her food and will do anything for treats, making her perfect for obedience training. She catches on very quickly and gets extremely enthusiastic during training sessions. This does lead her to use her paws a bit over enthusiastically. She also will chase and jump on anyone running around which is why she’d be best suited to a home with older, dog savvy children.

Cardi has had quite a long history with Forever Friends but our volunteers have put a lot of work into her training and she has totally turned a corner – she is incredibly obedient and while she has proven she can get along with some dogs, she would need to be the only dog in the house. She also spent some time at our Sanctuary where she met all kinds of animals including chickens and horses and she did extremely well with them!
This very clever girl knows the following commands: sit, stay, lie down, shake, touch and spin. She enjoys learning and would love to continue being taught new tricks.
She walks fairly well on a lead and fantastically with a halti.
She’s crate trained, toilet trained, and won’t steal food off the counters even though she could reach if she wanted.
As she occasionally forgets her size she’d be best suited to a home without small children. After walks she gets super energetic and zooms around, so a yard with room to run would be great.
She does show signs of fear of other dogs, and has been known to bark at them to try to scare them off if they seem overly interested in her. On walks this is drastically improved by wearing a halti and avoiding walking too close to other dogs. Because of this she’d be best as the only dog in your life.
Cardi will gladly join you outside for walks and exercise and then happily nap on the couch all day while you work. Her favourite toys are squeaky-toys, followed by treat-filled kongs.
Her gorgeous white coat makes her more vulnerable to sunburn, so extra care should be taken to keep her safe from the sun.

Would you believe Joe is an 18 month young boofa?! We think he is a cross between a staffy and possibly rottie.
He is a big boy, coming in at roughly 45kg so his new carer(s) must be dedicated and have experience handling big dogs. Joe is a people lover through and through, and is more than happy to show it with play and cuddles.
Due to his size and history Joe’s MUST haves in a carer are as follows
??Big Dog experience
?? A back yard for play/exercise
??A pet-free foster home (not even birds)
??COMMITTED TO TRAINING
??NO KIDS
Joe is happy to socialise with other dogs similar in size but if separation is needed, you will need to bring all your muscles. You will receive full support from our experienced team including a case manager and dog behaviourist to assist you every step of the way. Plus, all vet costs covered by us!
If you think you fit the above description, and can open up your home to this big boof, please send through an enquiry and tell us a bit about yourself

Bella is a beautiful (pardon the pun!) dog that has recently learned that people can be loving and kind. Unfortunately, she wasn’t treated very well in her past life so she can be wary of new people, particularly men. However, her foster dad has won her love and he is now her favourite. She is a loving, affectionate and playful lady once she relaxes!
Bella thrives with boundaries and rules, as she can get possessive, so knowing what she is and isn’t allowed makes it easier for her to relax. That may mean no couch time cuddles, but it also means she will never chew on shoes or sneak food off the coffee table!
Bella loves to hang out with adults as young kids and other animals make her nervous. She’s an independent gal, though, so not too much ruckus and a good amount of alone time is important for her. That being said, she will always be keen for a walk!
Bella will require on-going training and socialisation. A number of introductions prior to adoption will be helpful in transitioning her out of foster care.
