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.

ARRIVAL DATE 26TH FEBRUARY 2022
Sadie is a shy little girl at the moment. Having just come in the door we're letting her unwind from the temporary safety of her crate. 27/2/22 She's ventured out of her crate and feels more comfortable now. Still reserved, she's not ready to play. 7/3/22 Such a nice girl. She'll be great as an only dog or in the company of a friendly male terrier like a Jack Russell or another Foxy. She now does zoomies in the backyard and loves her toys. Not suited to high/medium density living. 3/4/2022 Nearly ready for adoption! ADOPTION NOTES BELOW |
Bouncy and funny Lady Sadie. She's a classic Mini Foxy. Snuggles into blankets like a baby but also plays in the mud like a silly girl.
She is very loved in care. A real stickybeak, she's gotten into trouble from a couple of her in-care buddies for getting up waaay too close with her play bow happening. And gets very disappointed if her chosen playmate won't cooperate.
Sadie eats most things except BARF raw food. So we switched to Prime 100.
She also loves Saturday night 'Bone Night' and will clean her beefy bone until there's nothing left.
Sometimes she gets under her ruggie and wraps herself up with just her eyes peeking out.
It's the cutest thing ever.
Best home for Sadie will be with human company and we think she'd get along very well with a nice male terrier like a Foxy or a Jack Russell. Somebody who will understand her body language. She can be a bit dominant and will be a match if her buddy is non-reactive.
Doggie spy camera says she barks a bit when you go out but then settles down. She is also crate trained if you prefer that option.
Foxies do shed quite a bit, if you've had one before then that's no news. A daily brush will catch all the loose hairs and help keep them off your sofa.
Out exercising, Foxies switch off their ears so don't try off leash. 'Long lines' (2.5m supplied) are a must for dogs like Sadie.
Interstate adoption will be considered case by case but you would need to drive to Sydney for Lady Sadie.
When you apply please give as much information as possible so we can assess your application properly.
Please no cats, no kids under 10, no pocket pets or dams/pools. Dog door please.

Arnold | Male | Miniature Poodle | Sydney | D.O.B. 21 Aug 2014 |
Desexed | vaccinated | dental and extractions | heartworm free | wormed & flea treated | complimentary consult with our Veterinarian | supplies provided | Adoption Fee $850 | SSRdogs Rehoming Body Number R251000076
|
ARRIVAL DATE 18TH FEBRUARY 2022
Quirky little Arnold will need extensive rehab so he won't be available for a while yet. Arnold definitely needs a cute little poodle clip but while he keeps going out and playing in puddles it might have to wait. :) 12/3/22 Arnold has separation anxiety and won't be suited to medium/high density. He's also very picky about dogs he lives with so an only dog home would suit him perfectly. 7/4/22 I swear that's not a poodle coat, it's velcro! His anxiety medication is called Trazodone and does not make him drowsy or spaced out. You will need to talk to your vet about a weaning process when he's ready. He takes it twice daily. ADOPTION NOTES BELOW. |
1/9/2022 REWRITE ON NOTES
Where do we start with little Arnold?
You may have noticed he's been in care for a while.... so instead of asking 'What's wrong with Arnold?' Let's ask what's right with him!
* Arnold is LOYAL
* Arnold is LOVING
* Arnold is INTELLIGENT
* Arnold is SPECIAL
* Arnold is all about CUDDLES
* Arnold is going the make the right home a FAMILY
Things you need to know before applying.
Arnold protects his owners from the world. He's not meaning to be so full-on, he just sees danger in certain things like some dogs and many strangers. He will need someone who understands and doesn't expose him to stressful situations.
There's nothing better than getting as close as he can to you. Snuggling in and getting pats. And following you closely like an extra shadow (consider this if you are unsteady on your feet).
He's a great walker, just take him along quiet streets.
A groomer will be needed regularly to keep him looking gorgeous. Poodles don't shed so while that's a bonus, it comes with work and expenses.
Arnold lost all his teeth. They were rotten. There's way more to his neglect story but we like to leave that in the past and move forward.
Even though he is a gummy-bear, he has no problem with food. And likes to suck on a meaty bone.
We're looking for very quiet, peaceful, only dog home. His very own safe zone. Somewhere he can truly be himself and unwind. We all need somewhere like that.
Arnold is down to 0 Trazodone a day.
No interstate adoption applications please. Homes must not be med-high density due to potential noise complaints. Indoor dog only. Arnold must have free access to the home at all times.
When you apply please give as much information as possible so we can assess your application properly.
Please no cats, no kids under 10, no pocket pets or dams/pools. Dog door please.

12/8/22 BRAND NEW ARRIVAL, NOTES SOON.
20/8/22 Sweetie Angel. She has the most stinky teeth. But a face that charms even big dog people. :) On the 24th everything will be taken care of. And she's going to walk out of our vet clinic feeling a million bucks. Won't be long until she's available. 25/8/2022 Angel lost most of her green manky teeth, they were so bad they almost walked out on their own. She has some chewing teeth at the back that survived severe dental disease. She needs a little time to recover, then she'll be searching for her forever home. Comprehensive blood panel was great and her heart is great. Heartworm negative too. :) |
1/9/22 PRE-APPLY INTEREST With a little while longer (we feel she needs more weight), Angel is almost ready for adoption and we've had inquiries already. Here's a few relevant notes to help you.
* Angel is a sweet girl who loves a to sit with you. (Yes, on the furniture)
* Quite a good prey drive! And a loud bark.
* Best as an only dog, she's a bit sulky at times about having to share.
* Would suit an 'empty nest' home with lots of time for her.
* Daily walks and regular grooming.
* No off leash please.
* Loves her food and eats well.
* Loves her creature comforts like nice snuggly blankets.
* Est D.O.B 15 August 2011
Interstate adoption will be considered case by case but you would need to drive to Sydney for Angel.
When you apply please give as much information as possible so we can assess your application properly.

|
14/8/22 BRAND NEW ARRIVAL, NOTES SOON.
20/8/22 Zeus is bigger than he looks in the photo. :) Imagine a beautiful blonde fox. He is sweet and happy. Best without men, they kind of freak him out. Even resident foster care hubby who has managed to charm many a nervous dog will find him a challenge. We'll keep working on it but there's no point in forcing an 11yr old into something he's not comfortable with. Sometimes, you just have to accept quirks and make the ideal match. So for now, it's pats, treats and walking adventures. Vetwork booking for the 24th. He'll be available soon-ish. 25/8/2022 Passed his testing with flying colours. He's wearing an Elizabethan Collar because he's sensitive about his desexing stitches. Available soon. |
A FEW ADOPTION NOTES 1/9/22
Inquiries are arriving already so notes are to help you know what he needs and his personality.
* Happiest as an only dog.
* Loves attention and company.
* Sorry but no men please. He just cannot cope living with them.
* Excellent walker and loves going out to catch up on his pee-mail.
* A great big bark. Perfect as an 'alarm dog' if you need one.
* Sticks close by to you but not suited for off leash.
* He's a loving boy. Ideally suited to an empty nest with lots of time for cuddles.
* A bit aloof or cautious at first but he quickly warms up.
* D.O.B 11 June 2011
Interstate adoption will be considered case by case but you would need to drive to Sydney for Zeus.

SSRdogs Rehoming Body Number R251000076

ARRIVAL DATE 26TH FEBRUARY 2022
Darling Skye has just arrived. :) She's a tiny Lady. With a rich red ginger coat. Simply gorgeous. This dainty little girl follows her foster carers everywhere. 15/4/22 We're still trying to fatten up Miss Fusspot. Given there's a lot of interest in Skye, here are the facts you need to discuss with your vet before applying. * Collapsing trachea * Luxating patellas, but frankly surgery on a tiny older dog is something I'm not comfortable with anymore. (She's on joint supplements) * Separation anxiety * Heart and the rest of her checkup is fine. She has no teeth. |
6/5/22 Our little sweetheart is doing well. Getting a bit less fussy. And if you are on Facebook here's a link to her enjoying her butterfly toy. She gets to have daily fun time chasing and sometimes catching her favourite toy. We have her solo for her games so nobody can interrupt.
Her butterfly toy will have to follow her when she is adopted. 😘
I know there's a match out there for her despite her challenges. Please get in touch if you have had a dog with her needs before. She's not ready yet but we'd love to hear from you. Her adoption fee will be subsidised due to her special needs. Skye has never coughed here so I was initially unaware of her condition, with seniors in the home we follow the tips below anyway. They suit many dogs.

Tips for care of any trachea dog; air-con available in summer, no over-exercising (take a cough as a sign it's time to stop), don't use cleaning products that are strongly perfumed such as some disinfectants. No plug-in home deodorisers. Don't use any furniture deodorant spray, carpet cleaning powder, enzyme cleaners and leave the house while you have to dry clean the carpet but steam clean is safest.
Opt for 'pet safe' pest control. Heavily pollened plants or cut flowers shouldn't be brought into the home.
Never walk on a collar or a harness that presses up against the neck. There's a variety of harnesses to test out the fit so you'll find one to fit your dog's anatomy.
Remember, persistent coughing can also be a sign of heart disease/failure and requires immediate vet care and medication.
We are not vets. Always always always go to your vet if you suspect a problem.
