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.
The Adoption Team is staffed by volunteers who work in their valuable free time between life's commitments.
Find out How Adoptions Work. And PLEASE read profiles thoroughly before applying.

Toby & Boy | Terrier Cross | 10yrs | PAIR | NSW/ACT ONLY
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 (l) 7.8kg and Boy (r) 7kg
Updated notes;
Cuddly snuggly gorgeous boys.
They've been in care a year now all because they don't like other dogs. But they love each other and they love people.
I'm 100% sure they are brothers, or have simply spent every waking moment with each other since they were babies.
When first in care, oh my goodness they were in terrible shape, boney and squabbling. I found a collar the other day that Boy used to wear when he came in. It's so tiny! Now they are both my soft healthy foster boys. It will be sad to see them go but all I wish is for them to have a forever home of their own.
Regarding other dogs; it's fairly simple. They don't like them. Stick to walking them in quiet streets. But they aren't that fussed with plodding along boring footpaths and peeing on things. The big excitement is the garden! Sniff sniff sniff. Roll in the sunshine & grass kicking their short little legs in the air. Exploring in the shrubs. They aren't diggers though which is good. :) No surprise holes.
Speaking of the garden. Toby needs the most secure yard ever. And you need to be careful if you don't have a front fence. Use a baby gate at first so he doesn't rush out without thinking. He's that kind of dog. Do first, think later!
And they need a doggy door please.
At 9-10yrs old they aren't puppies anymore so besides liking a game, they also love a long cuddle on the lounge.
UPDATE MARCH 2021 The boys have had a fresh new dental each.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
No cats, pocket pets or free range chooks please. No other dogs. 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.
Dog door required. Carer requests no pools or dams please.

Fab 5 | Genie | Silky Terrier | 11yrs | Sydney NSW | ADOPTION NSW/ACT ONLY
desexed ~ major dental ~ vaccinated ~ microchipped ~ heartworm tested ~ wormed ~ flea treated ~ mammary tumour surgery ~ lifetime support ~ free consult with our vet ~ Adoption Fee $500 ~ Rehoming Body Number R251000076 ~ NSW/ACT ONLY PLEASE
|
Genie, the first of our Fab 5 is officially ready for her loving new home. She's a dear little lady, and loves spending time on the sofa and in the garden.
She is a bit deaf from years of ear infections and you'll always need to keep watch on them. She's had 2 ear flushes and her ears are improving. Experience with cardiac or heart condition dogs or a willingness to learn dogs is a must. Please discuss with your vet before committing. She has an enlarged heart and murmur. Genie is taking Cardisure as a veterinary recommended preventative before becoming symptomatic. She must continue her medication. Genie's adoption fee will be going towards the significant costs (over $12,000 and counting) incurred by the Fab 5. No cats please! She's so soft, and we didn't realise she even cared until she saw one! And as soft as she is, no other dogs please. She's used to being boss lady of her family. You're not going to be able to take her for long walks. Remember, we're talking about a lady who has never ever had all the 'normal' things a loved dog has had. Better that she has a garden to relax in, and no off leash parks. Ponds are ok but no pools please. All she needs is to be spoiled rotten and loved beyond measure. |

Fab 5 | Lucille | Silky Terrier | 2yrs | Sydney NSW | AVAILABLE | NSW/ACT only
desexed ~ bilateral cataract removal ~ dental ~ vaccinated ~ microchipped ~ heartworm tested ~ wormed ~ flea treated ~ lifetime support ~ free consult with our vet ~ $1500 adoption fee ~ Rehoming Body Number R251000076
|
Wow! Lucille never stops! She's simply a new dog now she can see. EVERYTHING is new.
After some time in care having her eyes done, her carer believes she is best as a solo girl. She still needs to learn about meeting new friends and sharing. We don't consider that a big problem, lots of dogs are only children. :) And she'll get there. Main thing is; love. You'll need to accept her as she is. There's every chance she won't be a dog park girl, or a trip to Bunnings girl. But you'll love her just the same. Not suited to apartments. She'll need a little (or big) yard. And a dog door is a must. Someone home a lot would be required, Lucille has never been alone. Lucille's cataract surgery added up to $6k incl meds. Her adoption fee will go towards vet bills. |
As advised by her Specialist, cataract surgery dogs shouldn't be allowed to shake and 'kill' their toys. Lucille loves a good shake, but you have to take the toy away and replace it with something like a treat ball. She is being provided enrichment such as chew toys, IQ puzzles, snufflemats, treat balls, kongs etc.
She must never be walked using a collar, or a harness high enough to put pressure on her neck. Obviously all files will be available to the new owner and a follow-up consult should you wish to know more.

No cats, pocket pets or free range chooks please. Best not living with other dogs. And children over 10 only. Silky Terriers are no/low shed. Handy, but lots of grooming needed so please keep that in mind.
Dog door required. Carer requests no pools or dams please.

Fab 5 | Ella | Silky Terrier | 5yrs | Sydney NSW | AVAILABLE | NSW/ACT only
desexed ~ bilateral cataract removal ~ dental ~ vaccinated ~ microchipped ~ heartworm tested ~ wormed ~ flea treated ~ lifetime support ~ free consult with our vet ~ $1500 adoption fee ~ Rehoming Body Number R251000076
Ella is a funny little lady.
She was the one of the two who would actually spend a lot of time navigating by bumping into things. Now her life is completely different it's almost like she can't believe it! Everything is fascinating, everything has to be checked out closely and repeatedly.
She loves her carer's male dog of the same size and age, and will get him to play. Scared and growly at first with other dogs, she settles down into friendliness. That little tail wags like mad. A little well balanced male buddy would be required depending on what Ella thinks of him.
Unfortunately she still can't be fed with other dogs yet. A hangover from when she had to fight for food.
Someone home a lot would be perfect, Ella has never been alone.
Ella's cataract surgery added up to $6k incl meds. Her adoption fee will go towards vet bills.
N.B. ERROR IN NOTES; Ella is not an apartment dog and requires a yard with a dog door. Decent size courtyard is ok too.

Ella's eyes are cataract free but she does have an unpredictable condition of the eye called 'vitreous degeneration'. She may go blind again, we just don't know without a crystal ball. Take care to follow instructions above. Obviously all files will be available to the new owner and a follow-up consult should you wish to know more.
Luxating patella, surgery not recommended as essential.
