Pets For Adoption & Doggies In Rehab

Hi there! 
Meet our doggies here, and hopefully find your new bestie. 
Everyone is desexed, chipped, vaccinated, heartworm + intestinal worm + flea treated. And every dog leaves with a little starter pack of a lead, collar, tags, harness, current diet & goodies. 

We've also done all the extras (like dentals and blood panels for example). And everyone eats premium diets in care. Adoption fees are reduced for senior dogs despite their higher vetwork costs and longer time in rehab. 

Please note: We don't freight dogs to new homes. SSR used to have a 'NSW only' across the board policy but now allows interstate adoption if the successful applicant is willing to travel for a meet & greet if the dog is up to travelling. With this compromise we have had doggies go to Qld, Vic, SA, WA and ACT. 

We have a lifetime backup policy and your adopted dog may be returned to us at any stage. Sometimes life throws you a curveball and we're always here to help. You may also call your carer 24/7 for any emergencies or questions.  
​
Please allow time for a response to your application.

 ARRIVAL 1/9/22
The girls are in care now. Seeing the way Kit (at front) relies on Diva (the more confident) for comfort and seeing Diva give her kisses to help her calm... it's just beautiful and these girls love each other so much. 
2/9/22 Saw them playing together this morning. :) Cutest thing ever. 
​
​Not eligible for long distance adoption.
26 February 2023 RE-WRITE DUE SOON. The girls have grown into lovely young adults :) Time to give you all a better idea of what they are like now. And much better photos.

I love them. They give kisses and cuddles. For such tiny cautious babies whose whole world is new and interesting, they are personality +++.

30/12/22 New arrival, our baby boy. 
8/1/23 Cutie cute cuteness. Like all puppies, Milo is playful and accepting of friendship. He and Joey have decided to be friends and do a lot of playing. Including zoomies way through the house, into the backyard and back again. Hence the dishevelled look at the moment.
Milo is going to have to have a trim soon. He has beautiful thick black hair that seems to grow daily! 
Ideally his new home has a yard, and a young dog to play with. He's a clever puppy. He came from a loving home and has no trauma in his past. 
Milo is off for his vet work to be done and after this he will be ready to find his forever home. While we offer interested parties in adopting Milo to fill out an application form, please be aware the adoption will not take place until after his vet work.
27 March 2023 Ready for adoption!
The best word to describe Milo is 'goofy' 🤣 In all the best ways of course. He's a wonderful boy. Still very puppy though so his companion dog shouldn't be older than 6 or 7yrs and should be the same size so they can happily live together. He'd especially love if your dog does zoomies he can join in with. He also has a funny habit of climbing up and sleeping on the windowsill if he can fit.
Milo loves the garden but is a nibbler of leaves so please make sure your plants are non toxic. 
He will need stacks of human companionship and will cry when you go out. 
Milo has been tested with cats and can't stop wagging his tail and barking! They must be very exciting. 
He is now 99% house trained, but will sneak in a crafty pee occasionally. (Use vinegar to clean accidents with).
It's worth noting that if you are unsteady on your feet, he can be a trip hazard. 
Milo is difficult to home clip. He would be happier with a quick trip to the groomer.

When you apply please give as much information as possible so we can assess your application properly.
​Please no cats, no kids under 10, no pocket pets or dams/pools. Dog door please.

​Zeus | Chi x German Spitz x | Male | 11yrs | D.O.B. 11/6/2011 | Central Coast

​​Desexed |  vaccinated | dental and extractions | heartworm free |  comprehensive blood tests | wormed & flea treated | complimentary consult with our Veterinarian | supplies provided | Adoption Fee subsidised $500 | SSRdogs Rehoming Body Number R251000076
​Chipped as a Chihuahua cross. 
UPDATE We had a hiccup with Zeus, he became a little reactive to handling. Prescription drugs, as well as natural therapies didn't work. It was a complete mystery.
However, since he's had a full shave and no longer has to be brushed, he is a different boy.
Professional grooming would need to continue in his new home. We're aware it's not the 'done thing' to shave spitz coats but it's best for his happiness.

He will always be slightly aloof but never takes his eyes off his carer. He is not a lap dog but will approach for pats when ready. He alerts to strangers coming to the door. And will go to his bed if told to. 

____________

Zeus has moved to a carer with no other dogs and no men tromping through the house.

She is a retired lady so Zeus gets tonnes of attention. It's early days, and he's so happy. 
So we know the exact type of home he is going to suit best. Quiet. Someone home a lot. And no other dogs.

He's bigger than he looks in the photos :) around 6 - 7kg in real life. He reminds me of a beautiful blonde fox. 

Zeus can be nervous and a bit skittery at first. Be patient. His personality is soft, happy and loyal. 

He is a clean boy and will use the go outside for toileting. 

Interstate adoption will be considered case by case but you would need to drive to the Central Coast for Zeus. 
Note from carer; Zeus is a trip hazard if you're unsteady on your feet. 

Zeus' forever home will need no children.

New babies! 15 February 2023

Our dearest little pair arrived so young and tiny. Little unfocussed eyes, wobbly sea legs and pot bellies full of worms. 
Apart from a bit of ringworm (which is annoyingly contagious and required quarantine, washes, meds etc), the biggest worry was the intestinal worms. Many hours of sleep were lost (apart from the overnight feeds) worrying about the effect wormer would have on them. 
It's not well known, nor common but puppies can die from a clump of dead worms not passing through normally.  This is the reason for a vital worming schedule as pups grow. 
​So being certain they had never been wormed, and knowing a worm burden alone can kill. There was no choice but to take the risk with a high quality syrup. So with each worming was an overnight vigil. Car keys at the ready in case an urgent dash to the hospital was needed. 
Fortunately they passed the worms easily with each dose. Great big globs of fully grown roundworm. So gross, sorry for the detail. But it helps paint a picture of how compromised these babies were. 
They also needed bottle feeding to get them started. Appearing to be the runty one, Elsa took time to begin lapping at warm Di-Vetelact.  
Below, are a few photos as they grew. Watch for more updates.
