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. And PLEASE read profiles thoroughly before applying.

Fab 5 | Genie | Silky Terrier | 11yrs | Sydney NSW | ADOPTION NSW/ACT ONLY
desexed ~ major dental ~ vaccinated ~ microchipped ~ heartworm tested ~ wormed ~ flea treated ~ mammary tumour surgery ~ lifetime support ~ free consult with our vet ~ Adoption Fee $500 ~ Rehoming Body Number R251000076 ~ NSW/ACT only

Our dear little Genie is on the lookout for her forever home where she can unpack her bags and know she can finally relax and enjoy her retirement.
Genie would love to spend her days wandering the garden or lounging on the sofa with her forever owner. A little on Genie's past... she was used for breeding, her worth was dependant on how many puppies she could produce. Genie did not experience the life a beloved companion for 11 years until arriving in care. Due to her past, Genie is under-socialised and underexposed to many things in the big wide world. Her ultimate forever home will not be one of cafe's and off leash parks. |
More one where she can be Lady Of The Manor without sharing her humans with other dogs.
Genie loves every human she meets. Genie loves nothing more than belly-rubs and cuddles on the lounge for hours on end. She isn't a fan of sharing the lavished attention with other dogs. Genie, being uninterested in dog toys...prefers a little game with your hand.
Genie is a mature 11yrs old and we believe she has plenty more years in her yet.
Due to her previous neglect, Genie is a bit hard of hearing from years of untreated ear infections which have now been resolved.
One medical note for Genie is her minor (Grade 2) heart murmur and heart enlargement.
When Genie arrived into care we were unaware of this condition but during her vetwork, our vet conducted a chest x-ray which showed this enlarged heart.
Genie has had ZERO symptoms while in care for the last 6 months. Our vet has recommended Genie be on heart medication as treating sooner rather than later has been proven in most cases to prevent extra stress on the heart. The medication is a quarter, twice daily of Cardisure. We happily offer a free consult with our vet should you wish to have a talk with them. Even though Genie has a heart condition, with early diagnosis and medication she's symptom free.
We can't predict the future but all signs point to happy, healthy years ahead for this Grand Dame.
Genie has requested; no cats - pocket pets - free range chooks - no children in the home please as she finds them overwhelming.
She would prefer her humans to be home more often than not. Dog door required. No pools or dams please. She has requested to be spoiled rotten and loved beyond measure.

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. Decent size courtyard is ok too.
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. 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 pools or dams please.

FUNDRAISER FOR DILLON'S PATELLA SURGERY
CLICK TO DONATE Please make a note that it's for our Dillon |
Dearest Dillon! Our flashy little show pony. Not the smartest tool in the shed but he tries hard to learn new things.
Dillon is learning about his new life as companion dog and moving through rehab slowly but surely. We are at a cross roads though........
Most small dogs have some grade of patella (kneebone) luxation (dislocation). But normally you just get a 'skip'. As it pops back into place.
When Dillon goes faster than a walking pace he bears no weight on his left leg at all. It isn't unheard of that dogs get rehomed with bad patella's as they are signed off with a disclosure waiver for the new owner to cover the cost surgery.
There are a lot of factors that make up the question..... Is surgery necessary?
* Dillon is young and highly energetic.
* The high grade of luxation will bring on crepitus (bone crunching on bone) over his life span.
* And a higher chance of cruciate ligament tear.
* He is operable with a fantastic chance of a good outcome.
* He has been examined by our trusted vet and the verdict is his patella is high grade and surgery is recommended.
As a very small rescue, this is our rescue taking another expensive vet bill and we are worried.
But we feel we would not be doing right by Dillon if we do not opt for surgery.
We are needing to raise funds to fix his knee before he goes to a new home. We WILL fix his knee. He deserves it. And so does his potential adopter out there.
A bit about Dillon's history He has spent his entire life as a stud dog before coming into care. His worth was in his ability to impregnate female dogs. He had no value as a beloved companion who needed love and care. So his health was never addressed. He didn't receive even a moment of vet attention. Dillon is slowly getting used to the challenges he now faces of being cared about. Even becoming an inside dog was almost overwhelming.
Our quote for his surgery is $1980 and that's not a cost we can cover without your help.
This is pushing us to the very limit.
Ella and Lucille's cataract surgery eyes a whopping $12 000, with your help we managed to keep our rescue afloat.
Rescue being the way it is, there's always a gamble that incoming dogs will be high needs and costly. So we have incurred expensive unexpected costs to get our Fab 5 ready for their forever homes and to go on to live healthy, happy lives.
We have zero regrets in taking them on but there have been a few sleepless nights questioning how we get through with our rescue intact financially. Dillon is booked in for June for his surgery.
