About Rocket and Teacup Upchurch
TO APPLY FOR ADOPTION PLEASE SEND IN APPLICATION FORM AVAILABLE BELOW:
https://www.victoriandogrescue.org.au/about-vicdrg/adoption-and-foster-application-forms.html/
This bonded pair are looking for place to live out their senior years
together. Rocket and Teacup enjoy the simple things in life, comfy beds,
basking in the sun and of course pats and cuddles.
Rocket is the quieter one of these two, enjoying short walks or a good
exploration of a new garden or area. She loves to stick close by to
Teacup but also enjoys lots of naps in a nice comfy bed. Rocket is
working on losing some weight which we hope will give her a new spark
for life and allow her to enjoy some longer walks.
Teacup is a very friendly girl who loves to run around a garden and
chase birds. She also is a people person and would love to be by your
hip (or ankle) all day. Teacup would love a good walk each day as long
as she can still see her best friend, Rocket.
Rocket and Teacup are untested with other dogs and small animals but
have shown to get along with cats in their foster home. They are slowly
picking up on cues such as their name and are house trained.
These two will be best suited to a home where Rocket can have some nice
wanders and Teacup can run around and people are home often, so an older
family or couple will do them best.
Please note: our dogs are not available for interstate adoption. We also do not adopt to people under the age of 25 years.

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.

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.
If you are still interested, please download an application form from our website:

The application form must be emailed to us:
adoptions@victoriandogrescue.org.au
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.
Victorian Dog Rescue & Resource Group Inc is a registered not-for-profit charity.
We appreciate our sponsors and all our donors so much, as without them we would not be able to save the pets we do, or run our programs that reach into the community to give a helping hand. Are you able to donate, sponsor or want to leave a bequest?
