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.
New policy; PLEASE read profiles thoroughly before applying. Due to time constraints, the unprecedented amount of Covid inquiries and people not reading profiles properly, at this time we're only able to respond to potential matches.

Angus | Silky Terrier Cross | 5yrs | Sydney |
desexed ~ vaccinated ~ microchipped ~ heartworm negative ~ wormed ~ flea treated ~ lifetime support ~ free consult with our vet ~ Rehoming Body Number R251000076 ~ Adoption fee $1500
|
Summary; Angus is not suited to apartments or high density living. He has been crate trained in order to calm him when alone. I know not everyone agrees with crates but his separation anxiety escalates without the calming security of his very own den. The adopter will need to be willing to continue.
Due to crating, he will not be going to a full time worker. Or temporary WFH covid people. He's a bit of a grumbler around other dogs and is going to be his very best self as an only dog. Not suitable for off leash. Angus is on the larger side, around 7kg - 8kg of fluffy love. He's attentive and affectionate. Uses a dog door. No cats, kids or pocket pets. No pools or dams. |

Fab 5 | Ella | Silky Terrier | 5yrs | Sydney NSW | AVAILABLE | NSW/ACT only
desexed ~ dental ~ vaccinated ~ microchipped ~ heartworm tested ~ wormed ~ flea treated ~ bilateral cataract removal ~ lifetime support ~ free consult with our vet ~ adoption fee $1500 ~ 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. Ella isn't our quiet little mouse anymore. She has a big bark now. |
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.
Ella is not an apartment dog and requires a yard with a dog door.
As advised by her Specialist, cataract surgery dogs shouldn't be allowed to shake and 'kill' their toys. Ella 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.
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.
Mild luxating patella, surgery not recommended as essential.

No cats, pocket pets or free range chooks please. Ella needs a friend and her companion dog must be youngish male of the same size (4 to 5kg). 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. No cats, pocket pets, pools or dams please.

Little is a young lady and has lots of potential in the right home. She is a very sweet, yet timid and shy girl. She will need understanding and space to settle into her new environment and new humans. She would do best in a quiet environment.
She is not the type of girl who is just going to walk into your home and be ready for adventures. Little is only a pup at heart though an once she is given the right home and time to build her confidence expect an active, lively pocket rocket. |
Little is a terrier cross (that being the most honest answer we can figure her out to be). Little does require brushing and she does shed hair quite a bit of hair and is not 'hypoallergenic'. Little is a very leggy and long in he body, so her 8.5kg weight is spread around so she not a small toy breed in size, yet she is not a medium breed either, just somewhere in between. I think of her as a mini Kelpie because of her appearance.
Little can live with other dogs but she is only just beginning to learn how play and interact with them. She would need a dog that is of similar size, calm and not over the top. A dog that will let her slowly come out of her shell in her own time and show her she has nothing to fear. Little is starting to play zoomies with her foster carer's dogs, it is beautiful to watch it unfold slowly.
Little has no recall and on walks she is very unsure at first but slowly she relaxes and takes in the experience. Little is only used to the streets of a quiet country town. If she moves to a noisier, busier area, she will easily become overwhelmed. A slow and steady approach, exposing Little at a level that meets her comfortability will be an important focus.
Her new family will need to put time and effort in, allowing her to settle in, train her and expose her to new experiences. I would anticipate this would be an ongoing process for months. Sadly Little has missed out on the usual life exposures of a socialised dog. Adult doggy socialisation classes would be ideal to help both herself and her new owners get advice and training tips.
Someone with previous experience owning a timid dog would be ideal. If you are applying for Little please give as much information about your plans for Little to help our rescue to understand your home and your ability to give Little the home she needs to make her the best doggy she can be.
Little is not suited to unit/townhouse/apartment living. A backyard is a necessity for Little to play and explore in.
Little does show some signs of separation anxiety and tends to bark when you are out, Little will need an owner willing to work on decreasing her separation anxiety over time. For this reason a person home more often than not is ideal.
No children under 10yrs as they will need to be dog savvy and not invade Little's space if she is uncomfortable and feeling out of her depth.
Once Little becomes settled into her new environment she becomes an inquisitive girl who likes to explore all the areas of her new home and yard. Little builds her trust of humans over time and when she does she loves to follow you around and be a part of your daily routine. Little can become bouncy and excited at times and needs to be verbally corrected to discourage her jumping up.
Little is used to being inside with her humans and will scratch and bark if locked outside. Little needs and deserves to be an integral member of her forever family.
Little is very sweet, she loves her food, she does tend to food guard her bowl from other dogs when eating. If you have an existing doggy in the home they will need to respect her space.
Little is crate trained and her new family will need to be willing to continue that allowing her a safe space during her transition.
Little is toilet trained and will go to the back door to let you know she is needing to go out.
Good 5ft fencing is a must. Little is an agile girl and substandard or low fencing would be jumped with ease.

Bonnie | Scottish Terrier | 10 YRS | IN REHAB
|
Bonnie Lass is a very special girl.
I won't go into her past here, but she's quite shut down. And hasn't had great 5yrs. During vetwork she lost 12 teeth including a rotten canine and a broken calcified tail that was caked faeces. She went through 7hrs of grooming altogether (one hour alone to get her bottom clean) just to get the felted hair off so her skin could breathe and she could poo comfortably. |
More details to come once we get to know her.
Already, it's quite obvious she gets no joy from doggy company and is happiest on the lounge with a human gently rubbing her chin.
Intake record photos below.... please be patient about this girl. More photos soon.
