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 1/9/22
The girls are in care now. Seeing the way Kit (at front) relies on Diva (the more confident) for comfort and seeing Diva give her kisses to help her calm... it's just beautiful and these girls love each other so much. 
2/9/22 Saw them playing together this morning. :) Cutest thing ever. 
​
​Not eligible for long distance adoption.
17/10/22 
Our baby darlings are a bonded pair. So they need to find a home together forever. 
They are quite outgoing now. Kit has overcome her nervous adventures and now jumps around playing with Diva right in the middle of the lounge room. Diva breaks out into zoomies when she's really happy. 
Housebreaking is ongoing. At night, unless you can get up and take them out regularly we recommend a puppy pen with a bed, dry food (Royal Canin Mini Puppy), fresh water and a washable Conni Pad. Regular puppy pads are played with and torn up overnight! 
Everything is a toy. Whatever they can reach. And once that toy is boring they are on the search for another. So despite having a pile of their own toys, keep an eye on things so they don't swallow tiny bits.
Kit is the smallest. Diva is bigger. 
They can use a doggy door happily, but the flap had to be taken out and replaced by strips so they could get through. 
This duo are going to bring love and laughs to their new home. Check out this video on Facebook
I love them. They give kisses and cuddles. For such tiny cautious babies whose whole world is new and interesting, they are personality +++.

1/11/22 APPLY TO ADOPT AS A BONDED PAIR ONLY
When you apply please give as much information as possible so we can assess your application properly.

​Please no kids under 15, no pocket pets or dams/pools.
Dog door please.
​Companion dogs must be as tiny as the girls. And very tolerant of playful antics.
​Cats are bigger than these ladies so if you have one it would need to be a nice chilled out kitty.

​Fenceline must be watertight.

Milo | Shih Tzu cross Maltese | 5 Months | Milo is booked in for his vet work and will be ready for his new home in approx 4 weeks.

30/12/22 New arrival, our baby boy. 
8/1/23 Cutie cute cuteness. Like all puppies, Milo is playful and accepting of friendship. He and Joey have decided to be friends and do a lot of playing. Including zoomies way through the house, into the backyard and back again. Hence the dishevelled look at the moment.
Milo is going to have to have a trim soon. He has beautiful thick black hair that seems to grow daily! 
Ideally his new home has a yard, and a young dog to play with. He's a clever puppy. He came from a loving home and has no trauma in his past. 
Milo is off for his vet work to be done and after this he will be ready to find his forever home. While we offer interested parties in adopting Milo to fill out an application form, please be aware the adoption will not take place until two weeks after his vet work.

IN REHAB
​Zeus | Chi x German Spitz x | Male | 11yrs | D.O.B. 11/6/2011 | Central Coast

4/2/2023 Zeus has a few behavioural issues we are working on in conjunction with our trusted vet and his carer. Zeus has been nipping at his carer for unknown reasons and we are working with Zeus to help him be the best dog he can be. In the future we hope Zeus will be able to find his forever home with an experienced doggy person.

​​Desexed |  vaccinated | dental and extractions | heartworm free |  comprehensive blood tests | wormed & flea treated | complimentary consult with our Veterinarian | supplies provided | Adoption Fee subsidised $500 | SSRdogs Rehoming Body Number R251000076
​Chipped as a Chihuahua cross. 
Zeus has moved to a carer with no other dogs and no men tromping through the house.

She is a retired lady so Zeus gets tonnes of attention. It's early days, and he's so happy. 
So we know the exact type of home he is going to suit best. Quiet. Someone home a lot. And no other dogs.

He's bigger than he looks in the photos :) around 6 - 7kg in real life. He reminds me of a beautiful blonde fox. 

With a double coat, daily brushing is essential. We're coming into winter-coat shedding time and without removing the old hair with a brush, his hair will matt into clumps. 

Zeus can be nervous and a bit skittery at first. Be patient. His personality is soft, happy and loyal. 

He is a clean boy and will use the go outside for toileting. 

Interstate adoption will be considered case by case but you would need to drive to the Central Coast for Zeus. 
Note from carer; Zeus is a trip hazard if you're unsteady on your feet. 

Zeus' forever home will need no children.

4/2/2023 Zeus has been withdrawn from availability temporarily. He has unexpectedly tried to nip his carer, his vet believes this is anxiety based (same as his storm fear) and has begun him on non sedating, anti anxiety, dog medication. We feel it's very important to solve this mystery before he is available again. 


When you apply please give as much information as possible so we can assess your application properly.
​Please no cats or other dogs, no kids under 10, no pocket pets or dams/pools. Dog door please. ​

23/10/22 He's here! A very cute little man. 
After he settles it'll be a day at the vet having his top-to-toe vetwork - with comprehensive blood tests included of course. 
30/10/22 An absolute delight to foster. He's a playful boy and great with other dogs. 
Thank you to his donors! You've put a significant dent in his planned vetwork. 
3/11/22 Played with a squeaky toy today!!
17/11/22 Vetwork day. 
Desexing, heartworm test, dental scale and extractions, pre-op blood panel and fluids, C5 vaccination and dry eye test. Painkillers and a Convenia antibiotic injection. 
​
13/12/22 Nearly ready for his new home.
Won't be long. He has filled  out well and his coat is getting shiny. If you've never seen a 'Yorkie Smile', have a Google. Even with his very gappy teeth he manages to charm with his grin. 

Thank you for the inquiries. Joey is ON TRIAL
