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
Not the best photo sorry, but that's the way they approach the camera. As a pair :)
Toby and Boy are a gorgeous pair. Most likely living together their whole lives, we also assume despite their different appearances, they are probably litter mates.
At first arrival, my goodness what a pair of fly-bitten, un-desexed, leg lifting, burr covered, skinny and squabbling doggies. A real challenge.
Now, 100% different. And proof that rescue dogs often just need rehab time to ready themselves for the next step. 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.
Toby likes the loungeroom crate (door always open - it's like an indoor den), in it he has his collection of toys and can sleep on them.
Boy likes to sprawl out on the floorboards. Sometimes with his tummy in the air.
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 can be leash reactive (aka carry on like pork chops) towards other dogs when out and about. Which can be stressful for everyone involved. So they aren't suited to city life.
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.

Dixie | Med Crossbreed | 13 months | Available For Distance Adoption
Located on the Mid North Coast. Dixie is microchipped, fully vaccinated, wormed, heartworm & flea prevention, desexed, hernia repaired, basic training, socialisation and a lifetime support safety net. + free consult with our vet. Adoption fee $350 ~ Rehoming Body Number R251000076
Dixie is just over a year old and around 25kg she has pretty much finished growing in size but is still a happy puppy.
Dixie is a smart cookie and is quick to learn.
She is still a pup at heart and loves a game of zoomies and chasing balls.
Dixie is an inside/outside girl, she loves to sunbake on warm days and snuggle up at night.
Dixie's ideal home needs a good sized backyard she can play in.
Dixie would be suited to a home that will be patient as she goes through the adolescent stage and growing phases. Another playful, friendly dog is preferable as she loves to play and follow her doggy friends lead.
Dixie has been brought up around small dogs and doesn't have a mean bone in her body.
She can get very excited though so any playtime with her small buddies is closely supervised.
Dixie has her whole life ahead of her and is waiting for her forever home to come along.
Are you looking for the dog of a lifetime? If so please get touch and we can take it from there.
Dixie is young and strong enough to travel by Jetpets or Dogmovers to her new home.

Stanley | Maltese Cross Male | 9yrs | IN REHAB
|
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. Mid North Coast foster care. |

Lady | Maltese Female | 10yrs | ON TRIAL
|
Delightful :)
We will use Lady's rehab time to get her used to a new environment and to have her teethies polished. UPDATE Teethies all done, she did lose a few but nothing too exciting. She's also settling in very well and getting used to a new routine and new friends. |

Ollie Snickerdoodle | Maltese cross | 5yrs | IN REHAB
|
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. |
|
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. |

Walter Goldfish | Chihuahua Smooth | 10yrs | IN REHAB
|
He's a divine little guy! Such a cutie pie. And loves tucking himself into bed each night under his favourite blanket.
UPDATE All his vetwork is done. Now it's time to heal ..... and eat! A pastime he is very fond of. Not up for adoption or applications yet please. |

Harry | Shih Tzu Cross | 10yrs | Sydney | AVAILABLE SOON
|
Harry is one hunka chunka love! Around 8kg+ of cuteness.
A big beautiful boy, sturdy and healthy, Harry isn't 'in rehab' as such. Just getting settled and we're getting to know him. Harry comes from a very loving home who were heartbroken by having to part with him. You can tell he's had a wonderful life. Well adjusted and lots of fun. Harry will be looking for a family home with lots and lots of attention and games. Great in the car and on leash. No cats please. UPDATE Almost ready for adoption! |
