Their second chance begins in your hands


Dogs for foster or foster-to-adopt

Thinking about adopting a dog, but not sure if you’re ready to commit? 

Our foster-to-adopt program lets you care for a rescue dog first and see how you bond before making adoption official. At Mornington Peninsula Dog Rescue Incorporated (MDPRI), we believe this is the best way to ensure the right forever match. 

Join our community and give a dog in need their second chance. If you have any queries or would like further information on Fostering and Foster-to-Adopt, please reach out via our Contact page. We’d love to connect with you.

You can find our available foster or foster-to-adopt dogs below.

  • Damon & Elena

    Damon & Elena

    GENDER: 1 X MALE, 1 X FEMALE
    AGE: 6 WEEKS
    BREED: STAFFY

    *URGENT FOSTER/FOSTER-TO-ADOPT NEEDED

    Damon and Elena are little bundles of love and mischief. These tiny babies are looking for an urgent foster home together. They’ve only just begun their journey in life and need a safe, warm place where they can grow, learn, and feel loved while they get ready for their forever homes. These cuties are sweet, curious and full of puppy energy. They must go as a pair, as they are still so little. They will need guidance, toilet-training and lots of love. These two are at that melt-your-heart stage where every wobbly step and sleepy cuddle is pure magic. If you have the time and love to give, fostering Damon and Elena is the sweetest way to make a real difference.

  • Priscilla

    Priscilla

    GENDER: FEMALE
    AGE: 2 YEARS
    BREED: STAFFY X

    Priscilla is a wiggly bundle of love and chaos who’s as cheeky as she is charming! This gorgeous girl is full of youthful zest, a typical boisterous pup who lives life at full speed and pours her whole heart into everything she does. She is the ultimate cuddlebug, affectionate, loving, and always up for snuggles. She adores people and thrives on attention, often following you around just to be close. Priscilla can be destructive when left alone, so she’ll need a family willing to commit to ongoing training, enrichment, and plenty of stimulation to keep her mind busy. A home where someone is around more often than not, or where she can join in on daily activities, would suit her perfectly.

  • Nailah

    Nailah

    GENDER: FEMALE
    AGE: 8 YEARS
    BREED: FRENCH BULLDOG X PUG

    Nailah (Nala) is a gentle soul with a squishy face that’s impossible not to love! She is looking for a calm and caring foster home, or a foster-to-adopt family, where she can settle in and receive the vet care she needs. She still requires desexing and a full vet check, which will be covered while she’s in care. Nala is great with other dogs, has had limited exposure to kids and cats, so slow, respectful introductions are essential. Nala would thrive in a peaceful environment with someone who can give her a loving home while she receives her vet care, and the time and patience to adjust and feel safe. If you’ve got a quiet home and a big heart, she could be the perfect addition to your life.
