You may recognise this sweet girl…..

her name is 💖GINNY💖 and she is a 2.5yr old bully girl, who just a very short time ago was stuck in a rural NSW pound, desperately needing our help 🙏🏼🥺

🙌🏻 Thankfully, with our wonderful network we were able to get Ginny transported down to us and placed in an emergency foster home, where we could start looking into her veterinary care.

But now it’s time to find Ginny her forever family 💖🙌🏻🐾

✅ Here are some things we have learned about her through her current carers, in the last week……

Ginny arrived with a patient and gentle curiousness that melted hearts 🥹
It was quickly determined that she likely hadn’t been indoors before, or in a car, or even walked on a lead but she is still the goodest girl! 😇

She doesn’t jump up, she isn’t really a barker (unless she sees her dinner being prepared 🐽🤭), she is crate trained, seemingly toilet trained (no accidents yet) and despite her lack of training she is very calm and polite 😇

Ginny is food motivated, eager to please and is good with bigger kids 👧🏼
As she currently doesn’t know her own strength, we believe she would be suited to older children 12+

🦮 Ginny will need some basic training on the lead as it seems that no one has ever taught her these manners.
She will also require a home where she is provided with lots of stimulation, as she has shown signs of becoming a little destructive if left to her own devices for too long.

Still looking for his human 🥺

Are you that special someone to help Angus? 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

🤔 When have you ever been offered an opportunity to foster/adopt a 9 month old Bull Terrier, who has just been through 5 weeks of professional obedience training?

……..NOW! Now is that time! 🤩🤩🤩

One very lucky human is going to be given the most amazing opportunity right now! 🙌🏻

You may have seen our darling one eared bully boy Angus before, and now we are here to tell you that he has been making soooooo much progress 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

🧐 To refresh your memory; Angus came to us a couple months ago, full of destructive energy. He had been passed from home to home in his short life, and it quickly became abundantly clear that he needed more help than our normal rehoming process.

⏳ Angus is currently halfway through his intensive 5 week ‘board and train’ program, and the incredible trainers who are caring for and guiding him, are full of positive praise for this gorgeous boy!
Whilst he is full of energy, and at times stubborn (typical bully boy 🤪), he is learning what is and isn’t acceptable behaviour.

🥰 The training team absolutely adore him!

He is going to be so much fun and the BEST dog for the right person. But this person MUST have time to invest in him.
Now we just need that very special person to come forward and commit to darling Angus.

He needs you 🙏🏼

Angus new person;
✅ Has a PET FREE home (no exceptions)
✅ Must be available for a 3hr handover to learn the “training language”. This is essential for Angus further development.
✅ Someone committed to following through with ongoing training (full support of rescue whilst in foster care)
✅ Not a home where he will spend a lot of time alone.
✅ Have no small children.
✅ Committed to working with us to ensure Angus succeeds.
✅ VIC placement only.

🔊 Please join us in welcoming to the Grey Muzzle Club, our newest Forever Fosters……

11yr old mini-bull 🐾💙BRUNO💙 🐾
and 9yr old 🐾💙BUSTER💙🐾

These two handsome fellas entered our care last week and are settling nicely into their forever homes 🥰, where we can learn more about them and any health concerns that need addressing.

🫶🏼 As special ‘Forever Fosters’, VBTR will keep these beautiful boys under our wings, and cover their costs for life to ensure that they receive the best care, whilst they are surrounded by love in trusted foster homes.

This is only possible thanks to the incredible support of our Grey Muzzle Club members 🙏🏼♥️🐾

😇 For just $50 a year, you too can help us support the most vulnerable of dogs, who are often elderly or have severe health concerns.

This special club allows us to ensure that never again will they experience the pain or misfortune that landed them in rescue to begin with.

🙏🏼 We would like to say a big thank you to;
♥️ All of our current 2025 GMC members (we have a special surprise coming for you soon)
♥️ Tracy and Lorraine for offering Bruno and Buster permanent and loving homes

Oh hey, hi 👋🏼, it’s me Angus! 😍

You may remember me from previous posts, trying to find a new home 🏡

🤩 Well, the kind people at VBTR have me participating in a boarding program where I get to train daily, and help me become the bestest boy and learn some manners 👏🏼

I’m enjoying my stay here and getting plenty of exercise and interaction.
I’m so clever and respond so well to structured training and learning new commands!

I can’t wait to meet my new people real soon……. Will it be you? 😍

Introducing 11yr old mini Bull Terrier…… ♥️BRUNO♥️

This most handsome senior boy is looking for a safe and quiet home to see out his final years in the luxury he deserves 🙌🏻

Surrendered due to no fault of his own, Bruno has been living the Shelter life 🥺
He has recently undergone some extensive veterinary care and is now ready immediately to be rehomed!

Please help us break him free 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

♥️ He is a very spritely, friendly and happy boy, with lots of pep in his step!
He does quickly get very excited around other dogs, his little helicopter tail wagging like he’s going to take off 🚁

Bruno will require some regular medications for some pretty routine “senior years” conditions and his new family will have full support of rescue for this.

His favourite thing is food 🤭 and loves to keep busy with his snuffle mat.

Bruno’s ideal new home:
✅ needs to be available to take him to regular vet appointments.
✅ preferably someone home the majority of the time.
✅ has a secure backyard (Bruno is said to be an escape artist). It is also unknown as to whether he is house/toilet trained, so an apartment with no yard will not be suitable.
✅ a home with other pets considered upon application.
✅ committed to working with VBTR on a long term basis to ensure Bruno’s needs are met.
✅ VIC placement only

♥️ If you believe that you can be Bruno’s happily ever after and provide all the love to see out his final years, please fill out the foster form (link in comments below ⬇️ ) and one of the team will be in touch.

❤️🐾❤️🐾 REX UPDATE ❤️🐾❤️🐾

As you may have seen on the weekend, our darling boy Rex underwent an emergency surgery to have large slices of basketball removed from his stomach and part of his intestine that had been perforated as the chunks finally started to pass over 9 months after he consumed it 🥺

We just wanted to let all his wonderful supporters know that Rex is doing really well 😃😃😃

He is past the most critical point of his recovery, and done his first magical poo 💩 (yes, this is something we celebrate after surgeries like this)

Rex has a fair way to go to get back to full health, but so far so good 🙌🏻 🙏🏼

❤️ Thanks again so much to everyone who donated, and helped us cover his vet bill!

LIVE❤️LOVE❤️RESCUE

A special mention to the team at Baw Baw vets and to Rex’s foster family for making sure he has the best chance of making a full recovery 🥰

🍔Who loves burgers?

VBTR this month are participating in the Grill'd Local Matters Program, at their Doncaster store

👉🏼 The way this program works is that Grill'd Doncaster will have 3 jars out in their store for the whole month of August with 3 different organisations names on the front (including one with ours) 😃

The organisation with the most tokens at the end of the month gets 💲3️⃣0️⃣0️⃣

“It must be so nice patting dogs all day” …….yes, yes it would! But this is not a pet store, this is rescue! ❤️‍🩹

Let us talk to you about how our Friday unfolded……

☎️ A call from a wonderful foster carer to say “something is terribly wrong with Rex”…..
Constant vomiting, stretching uncomfortably, whining, hunched over in pain and a sudden decline into shivering and wincing in pain when examined by the vet he had been rushed to, and basically carried from the car because he was so unwell.

The more we heard, the greater our concerns for pancreatitis or blockage!

🤔 His history? …..Rex has been with us since November 2024, and has had an extensive medical history.
Mostly his eyes, having gone through multiple entropian surgeries to fix his eyelids.
But!! Rex has always had awful breath and burps 🤢. Something that no vet has ever been able to explain.
💩He has even chewed and pooed out bits of blanket and no test has ever concluded that we had greater cause for concern….. until yesterday!

The vet quickly ruled out Pancreatitis and the Xray showed little to be too concerned about, but his symptoms were enough for us to make a split second, life changing decision (something our team behind the scenes is faced with too often)!

…….Open him up! 💔

🙏🏼 It was time to find out once and for all, and what we found was shocking!

Inside this precious boy was large chunks of basketball 🏀 , sitting in his tummy and starting to pass through his intestines 🫣
This ball has been in there since before he came into rescue 9 months ago. Evading many tests and trips to the vet!

😎 Rex has always been laid back, but this is proof of just how incredibly stoic a Bull Terrier can be!
It wasn’t until a piece of the ball perforated his intestine, that he rapidly declined 😭

The decision that we made to open him up there and then, potentially saved his little life!
Apparently the smell that came out was rancid 🥺🤢

So!! This boy before yesterday had already cost rescue over $7,000!
And now we have another $2,800 bill, plus any follow up care he will need.

We would greatly appreciate any donations towards Rex latest vet bill 🙏🏼
If you can’t donate, then please help us share his post and pray for his safe recovery.

The first 36hrs is critical 🙏🏼🥺❤️‍🩹

We will post an update in a few days as Rex heals, but today he is back on IV fluids at the vet

Introducing mini-bull 💞BRONTE💞

💖 This 2yr old pocket rocket, whilst small in size at just 18kg, has a HUGE amount of love to give!

🫣 Bronte currently lives with another dog and cat, and unfortunately she does not get along with either of them (much as her family have tried 🥺), so sadly she finds herself needing a new place to call home 🙏🏼

Whilst Bronte isn’t fond of other furry creatures, she has so much love to give her people 👩🏽‍🤝‍👨🏼🐶
She is used to being around her humans all day, so will not be suited to a home where she is left alone for long periods.

⚽️ Bronte loves toys and play time!
A large backyard where she can run around would be ideal.

She has recently completed a “board and train” program and would benefit from ongoing training sessions as she responds very well to this type of direction.
A clever girl who can sit and wait for her food, and likes the security of her crate at night time 🥰

🏡 Bronte’s perfect home includes;

✅ PET FREE (no exceptions)
✅ Ideally someone who is home more often than not
✅ Someone willing to continue with her training (with support of VBTR)
✅ No young children (she is untested with children)
✅ Secure yard
✅ VIC placement only
