Ollie's Legacy Incorporated

Ollie’s Legacy Incorporated is established with the purpose of preventing or relieving the suffering of animals within our community by: • Rescuing and changing the lives of homeless, neglected and abused animals. • Placing rescued animals in foster homes where they are cared for, rehabilitated and prepared for adoption into permanent, loving homes. • Providing hospice care to rescued animals that are too sick, or unsuitable for adoption. • Promoting responsible pet ownership by educating the general public about the importance of desexing animals and breaking the cycle of unwanted and homeless pets.

Adoption Policy: Strict

Adoption Process and Guidelines By adopting an animal, you are offering a homeless animal the opportunity for happiness and a forever family. We appreciate your interest in giving a homeless animal a second chance. Important Information Before You Apply: • We operate from a private residence located in Bendigo, Central Victoria. • If you cannot proceed with the adoption within one week of submitting your application, we kindly request that you wait to apply until you are fully ready. • Most of our communication is conducted via email. As our administration is managed by a single volunteer, we are unable to handle phone enquiries. If you do not respond to our emails or messages within 24 hours, we will move on to the next applicant. Please check your spam or junk email folder regularly to ensure you do not miss our correspondence. Application Process: Before completing the application form, please be aware of the following: Interest expressed through Savour Life enquiries or other platforms, including email, does not constitute a formal application. Our application forms are specifically structured to allow us to assess each applicant fairly and efficiently against our criteria. To apply, please complete the relevant form linked in each animal's profile, providing as much detail as possible. This helps us understand the life you are offering to the pet. If your application is successful, we will contact you by email to arrange a meet and greet. What Happens After Your Application: • If the meet and greet goes well, you will be invited to proceed with the adoption, complete the necessary paperwork and pay the adoption fee. • We offer a trial period to ensure both you and the animal are a good match. If the animal is returned during this trial, you will receive a refund in accordance with the terms and conditions outlined in the Adoption Agreement signed at the time of adoption. • Even after the trial period, we remain dedicated to supporting your pet throughout its life. If your circumstances change and you need to return your pet—no matter how much time has passed—please reach out to us for assistance.
