Looking for an organization in Melbourne, Aus that rehomes pets of elderly people who can no longer keep them?

I believe there is an organization in Melbourne Australia that can assist with rehoming the pets of elderly people who can no longer keep them. I have a friend whose mother is soon to go into a nursing home and cannot take her dog with her. My friend cannot take the dog either as she is at work all day and lives in a high rise. She desperately wants to find this dog a good forever home but needs help. Can anyone in Australia assist me with the name of the organization?

    Unfortunately I am not aware of any specific rescue that deals exclusively with older people's pets. I have heard of one in South Australia that focuses on rehoming dogs TO older people who would like a companion.

    There are a bunch of great rescue agencies in Victoria and I am sure that one of them would love to take her on and find her a lovely home ^.^

    There are several no kill rescues around- I recommend checking out the Pet Rescue Directory to find one near you :)
