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.
And please note: We don't freight dogs to new homes. SSR used to have a 'NSW only' policy but now allows interstate adoption if the successful applicant is willing to travel for a meet & greet. 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.
The Adoption Team is staffed by volunteers who work in their valuable free time between life's commitments.

Yogi & Beau | Chi Cross | 8 & 9yrs | PAIR | Mid North Coast NSW
desexed ~ dental ~ vaccinated ~ microchipped ~ heartworm tested ~ wormed ~ flea treated ~ lifetime support ~ free consult with our vet ~ Adoption Fee for the pair $550 ~ Rehoming Body Number R251000076
Yogi 9yrs and Beau 8yrs, the dynamic duo, are a hilarious pair of boys.
Yogi is the quieter one and the thinker of the two. He slowly warms up to people and then he is your best friend.
Beau is the busy body and cheeky boy who is always on the go wanting to throw a toy around or playing zoomies. His personality is larger than his 3.5kg body, that is for sure.
These boys are great in the car and walk well on lead. Both boys are crate trained and do not show signs of separation anxiety, they do give you a warm welcome home though.
They get on well with other friendly dogs the same size as them. Before coming into care they boys had once lived inside but had been living outside for a few years, so they are not perfectly housetrained but other than the occasional marking incident they let you know when they need to go outside and they are really getting the hang of indoor living.
Yogi and Beau are both active and lively boys needing a home with backyard to potter around in. At night they love to curl up in a doggy bed or beside you on the lounge. They previously lived with children so a home with children 7yrs or older who are dog savvy would be okay. While they are both considered to be almost 'senior' dogs they certainly don't act like it and enjoy life to their fullest.
They do not get on with cats or other pocket pets so a home without them is a must.

Toby & Boy | Terrier Cross | 9yrs | PAIR | Sydney NSW
desexed ~ dental ~ vaccinated ~ microchipped ~ heartworm tested ~ wormed ~ flea treated ~ lifetime support ~ free consult with our vet ~ Adoption Fee for the pair $550 ~ Rehoming Body Number R251000076
Toby (r) and Boy (l) are a gorgeous pair. Living together their whole lives, we also assume despite their slightly different appearances, they are probably brothers.
These boys are going to bring love and laughs to their new home. They aren't glued to each other but always have to know where the other one is. Especially Toby, he will search for Boy if he's not in sight.
Toby likes the lounge room crate (door always open - it's like an indoor den), in it he has his collection of toys and can sleep on them. Chosen people are shown his favourite toys and offered a game.
Boy likes to sprawl out on the floorboards. Sometimes with his tummy in the air. He is so affectionate and sweet, always following you for a pat and just to be with you.
Both enjoy their food and have been feasting on BARF raw and Royal Canin dry. With Aussie made kangaroo tendons and fresh beefy bones to chew.
We are seeking a thoroughly secure property of size, or even a genuine whopper of a yard with plenty of enrichment where they can get all their exercise by running around and playing. We're asking for applications like this because the boys are reactive towards other dogs. So they aren't suited to walkies, city life or parks and we'd prefer if they just had a roomy place to exercise in and people who love and accept them just the way they are. At 9yrs old they aren't puppies anymore so besides liking a game, they also love a long cuddle on the lounge. **No other dogs
No cats, pocket pets or free range chooks please. And children over 10 only. Toby has a long, no shed coat that will need to be clipped. And Boy has a lovely soft medium length coat that doesn't tangle much at all.

Stanley | Chihuahua Cross Maltese | 9yrs | IN REHAB
Desexed ~ dental ~ vaccinated ~ chipped ~ hw test ~ flea/tick/worm treated ~ 3 full blood panels ~ further details below
|
ARRIVAL Stanley is an unwell, emaciated little dog. He'll be in rehab a while. He's already had his dental and very very concerning blood panel results which will be re-run in 4 weeks looking for improvement.
UPDATE Going back in for a weigh and more blood testing. We're hoping for an improvement, even just a little bit would be great. UPDATE Yay! Great blood results. But it could be another 6 months before his body gets over his starvation. UPDATE Little Stanley's cognition is improving as he slowly puts on a tiny bit of weight every day. UPDATE Check out the progress photo of Stan! His mind is coming back 'online' slowly and he responds positively to dinner time and pats. Thank you everyone for your inquiries, Stan still has a long way to go (his vet has told us to be patient and expect his rehab to take a long time). Because he's not 100%, we haven't assessed him for adoption. Meaning we haven't tested him with kids, cats, pocket pets, leash walking etc. That will come later. UPDATE His weight gain has plateaued at a level we aren't happy with and we're going to have further testing done. :( He will be having out-of-house pathology of his blood and faeces which can be used to diagnose malabsorption and EPI. Obviously we've run thyroid but he's having a T4 just in case. There's also a condition known as 'silent Addison's' that doesn't follow the rule book, if all else fails he'll go in for the day long test. We've got to get to the bottom of things because Stanley needs a happy life in a happy new home! All we want for him is to be a healthy boy with parents who love him. NSW Mid North Coast foster care. |

Ollie Snickerdoodle | Maltese cross | 5yrs | IN REHAB
Desexed ~ vaccinated ~ hw test ~ dental ~ blood panel ~ further details below
Ollie - week 1
|
Ollie is suffering extensive hair loss due to allergies and secondary yeast + bacterial complication on top of that which has run wild. He is under vet treatment and tested negative for sarcoptic and demodectic mange.
Ollie is also skeletal, even after spending 7 days at the pound getting proper, regular meals. Poor boy. :( It will take months to undo the damage a neglectful owner has inflicted upon him. Despite all he's been through he is such a smoochy baby. |
Progress!
|
UPDATE - Progress :) Ollie has put on weight and no longer feels like a little bird when you pick him up. He's had a groom and looks very handsome.
Recent humid weather saw a flare up of his healing skin (which was going really well!) so he's on another course of antibiotics etc. Personality wise, he's adorable. A lovely, sweet and gentle boy. He's been through so much and is still so trusting. UPDATE - Well we've got light at the end of the tunnel and face the final challenge, clearing up his front legs. They have been stubbornly refusing to respond properly to everything we've used. So Ollie has just had a Cytopoint injection and has started on a long course of antibiotics that he hasn't had before. - NSW Mid North Coast Foster Care |

Walter Goldfish | Chihuahua Smooth | 10yrs | IN REHAB
Desexed ~ vaccinated ~ dental ~ hw test ~ flea/tick/worm treated ~ full blood panel
|
He's a divine little guy! Such a cutie pie. And loves tucking himself into bed each night under his favourite blanket.
UPDATE Going well, he's a nice boy and small dog friendly. UPDATE Fusspot!! Very slowly putting on weight, it seems to be taking forever! He's just started on Royal Canin Mini Adult soft food so we'll see how that goes. Walter is a picky eater. NSW Mid North Coast Foster Care |

Ladybird | Yorkshire Terrier | Female | 13yrs | Sydney | IN REHAB
|
Brand new arrival. 25th March 2020
Ladybird was collected today and taken straight to Dr Ben. Her heart is good. But she is emaciated, balding, has gummy eyes from untreated dry eye & has had bloods taken for a full panel like we do for all the seniors. We've been advised she needs to get up to a reasonable weight for general anaesthetic, and then she can have her grotty teeth done. She is being treated with Optimmune for her dry eye. And will be having a course of Cartrophen shots for her joints. Bright and alert. Fussy but eating, you just have to get the menu right! Ladybird's owner loved her dearly but due to her own failing health, could no longer look after her. Thank you so much to Aunty Rosey for picking her up and taking such good care of her before she came to us. She began treating her eyes, peeling off the gunk from around them and washing years of grime from her skin. UPDATE. YAY! Great blood results! Except for indicators of anaemia which will come good with tasty nutritious food. |
