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.

Dixie Cup | Mixed Breed | 10 months | Available For Adoption
Located on the Mid North Coast. Baby Dixie is microchipped, fully vaccinated (all 3 shots), wormed, heartworm & flea prevention, desexed, hernia repaired, basic training, socialisation and a lifetime support safety net. + free consult with our vet. Adoption fee $550 NOW SUBSIDISED TO $450 ~ Rehoming Body Number R251000076
Our unknown breed little girl is just a happy pup. She is 10 months old and around 25kg so pretty much fully grown.
Dixie is as smart as she is stubborn and in true puppy style she will get away with what you let her. If not, she does sad face very well and you have to try not to laugh while she makes you feel like relenting.
We are looking for Dixie's forever humans that will want her for her entire life, not just the puppy phase. Owners that will give her, her crucial socialisation period now so she has the best chance at being a happy social girl when she matures.
We would ask any successful applicants to sign up to puppy classes prior to getting Dixie so we know the commitment is there and the research has been done.
Dixie needs a good sized backyard to play and burn off some energy. Dixie would be suited to a home that will be patient as she goes through the puppy stage and growing phases. If she eats your favourite shoes or something else she isn't supposed to we want her future owners to love her while redirecting her to non out of bounds chew toys.
Another dog is a must, preferrably a male dog of the same size who is happy and patient and can help show Dixie how to play and grow and have a best doggy friend. Dixie will need training and lots of it. Dixie is smart as a whip and needs lots of input so she learns all she needs to know. Dixie is used to being inside.
Are you looking for the dog of a lifetime? If so please get touch and we can take it from there.

Star | Silky (with a touch of something else) | 11yrs| Mid North Coast | NSW Only Please |
desexed ~ dental ~ vaccinated ~ microchipped ~ heartworm tested ~ wormed ~ flea treated ~ lifetime support ~ free consult with our vet ~ Adoption Fee NOW SUBSIDISED TO $350 ~ Rehoming Body Number R251000076
UPDATED NOTES JAN 2020
Little Star is a beautiful older girl who has had a rough go in life and is looking for perfect forever home. In the last 4yrs we know Star has been displaced 4 times, we want her next home to be forever.
Someone will need to understand Star's past and help her find security and accept her for her beautifully imperfect self.
Star is very shy and nervous at first (especially in new environments and around new people) and needs to be given time to get to know you, once she starts opening up and you see her personality shine through.
Star has amazing potential to be a happy go lucky girl, she loves playing with her collection of toys and being close by to her human.
Star does get separation anxiety when left alone so we are looking for a home where someone is home more often than not.
She is not suited to unit or apartment living.
Star loves car rides and daily walks (not a marathon) somewhere she can trot around and take in the sights and smells.
Star has no recall.
Star came into care and had trouble getting on with other dogs in her foster home. She has adjusted to life with other dogs but can be a bit too bossy at times. Her ideal home would be one where she doesn't have to share her human's love and attention with another dog.
Star is not good with pocket pets or cats, so a home without them is a must.
Star is scared of thunderstorms and fireworks.
We are looking for a home that can understand her past and see her potential, we don't ever want her to be in the position of ever being unloved or surrendered again.
Star deserves for us to get her the right home the first time.
Please note Star is on the Mid North Coast of NSW. If your application is successful you will need to travel to her location to meet her, no exceptions. We are giving potential adopters as much information as we can to avoid disappointment for both applicant and Star.

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. More photos soon. Mid North Coast foster care. |

Toby & Boy | PAIR | Terrier Cross | IN REHAB
Arrived 12 Nov '19 - Sydney foster care
19th Nov '19 - desexed, vaccinated, pre-op blood panel + fluids, heartworm test, dental, wormed, flea & tick treated, heartworm preventative

Sydney foster care
UPDATE I spoke too soon about rehoming them separately. Since desexing and a lot of getting used to being in care, getting their 'sea legs' so to speak, we've had a big change. These boys are quite obviously bonded. I feel silly for thinking otherwise. The boys will go up for adoption together soon. Both very different in temperament but so many things in common that it's clear these guys were raised together and all they had at the start was sibling rivalry, they may even be litter-mates.
Toby has a long, no shed coat. (he's been clipped off because of the heat). And Boy has a really soft medium length coat that doesn't tangle.
Both boys have put on a substantial amount of weight and enjoy their BARF patties (raw) and Royal Canin dry.
Toby hates white dogs! No idea why. And they are dog reactive on walks so we'll be looking for a property of size, where they can get all their exercise by running around.
p.s. The piece missing from Boy's ear is actually 'fly-bite' (which they had a lot of) not an injury. The missing part will never grow back but hair will cover it eventually.

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. Sydney foster care |

Beau is inquisitive and cheeky, Yogi is more reserved of the pair and looks to humans for reassurance.
They are learning how to sit and walk well on lead. Both are underweight and are in the process of eating their way to a healthy weight.
They can be a bit fearful with hands going above their head until they know you mean them no harm.
Both lads are very bonded, seeking company from each other and will be going up for adoption soon.

Ollie Snickerdoodle | Maltese cross | 5yrs | IN REHAB
|
New arrival 10th Dec '19
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. |
