Maverick is almost three years old and is the best office supervisor around.  If you work from home or are retired — then he’s your guy! Maverick will be right there beside you even when you’re in the bathroom… privacy is overrated, right?!

Here’s what you should know about Maverick:

  • He’s a Velcro dog — wherever you are, that’s where he’ll be.

  • He needs someone who’s home most of the time — full-time or hybrid workers away from home won’t suit him.

  • He needs a doggy door so he can come and go as he pleases (but Maverick will mostly be where his human is).

  • Mav is strong and can pull a bit on lead, so he needs someone confident to handle him.

  • He’ll need daily walks and playtime — Maverick has energy to burn and a cheeky sparkle in his eye.

  • He’s great with other dogs, but prefer to be the only one at home so he can lap up all your attention, so please no other dogs in your home.

  • Maverick is cheeky, inquisitive, adores his toys and has a special blankie that he carries everywhere.

  • He just went to the beach for the first time and he absolutely loved it! Splashing, sniffing, sandy zoomies – count Mav in every time!

When Maverick first came into care, he was anxious from being left outside most of his life. But now? He’s a calm, happy boy who just wants to be loved and included in everything you do.

Mav has been health-checked and neutered, he travels well, and has cute black splodges on his tongue that make him even more irresistible.

If you’ve got older kids (teens are awesome!), space for cuddles, want a true companion and don’t mind a golden shadow following you everywhere, then Maverick could be perfect for you!

Adoption Process

RGRV invests significant time getting to know our Goldies to ensure a perfect match between each dog’s needs and their new home. Ensuring the future wellbeing of both the dog and the new owner is our priority, and a good fit between the dog and the adopter is essential.

Minimum criteria

Applicants must meet the following criteria to be considered for adoption:

  • Age restrictions: we do not place dogs in homes with children under the age of 10 years. This policy is strict due to the generally unknown history of our dogs, aiming to minimise potential risks.

  • Home requirements: your residence must have a securely enclosed outdoor area, with fencing and gates at least 1.5 metres high.

  • Yard size: typically, we do not place dogs in homes with small yards (less than the size of a double car garage), unless the dog is elderly and less space is suitable.

  • Housing type: we do not place dogs in apartment blocks, as our dogs generally require more space and a specific living environment.

  • Shelter: your yard must include a covered structural shelter, such as a covered verandah, entertainment area or open garage. A kennel or dog house does not provide adequate shelter.

  • Application process: the adoption questionnaire must be completed by the person(s) who will be named as the new owner(s). We cannot accept questionnaires completed on behalf of someone else, including family members.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR APPLICANTS

Prioritising Dog Needs: at RGRV, the welfare of our dogs is our top priority. This means that even if your application is approved, there may be a waiting period before a suitable dog becomes available. Your application will be placed on a waitlist during this time.

Waitlist Confirmation: you are required to confirm your continued interest in adopting every three months by emailing info@rgrv.org.au. Failure to confirm within this period will result in removal from the waitlist.

As RGRV is a charity run by unpaid volunteers, we ask for your patience as it may take time to respond to your application.
