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.
SSR sometimes allows interstate adoption if the successful applicant is willing to travel for a meet & greet, also if the dog is OK for a long drive. With this compromise we have had doggies go to Qld, Vic, SA, WA and ACT.
Please note: Only very rarely do we have a dog who can be transported unaccompanied to their new home, you'll need to keep this in mind when applying.
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.

Valentine | Maltese cross Chihuahua | Male | est 7 months | Sydney |
Microchipped, vaccinated, desexed, heartworm negative (undescended teste and retained baby teeth removed)
Starter supplied provided. Lifetime support. $1500 - Rehoming Body Number: R251000076
Starter supplied provided. Lifetime support. $1500 - Rehoming Body Number: R251000076
Ready for Adoption!
Valentine is tiny and fun-loving. He is smaller than a cat but still takes them on with the heart of a Great Dane. We're seeking a home with another small (Chihuahua size) youngish friendly dog to play with and cuddle up with. He could literally play all day until he sleeps the deep sleep that only a puppy can.. At just an estimated 6 months, he's very bouncy and playful so if you haven't had a puppy for a while, be prepared for a little fellow who jumps on your lap and gives you nose nibbles! |
Valentine is a darling. He really should be in a loving home by now.
We're committed to finding him the very best. For such a hard start in life, he's not let it hold him back! I see no shy behaviour and he may even be a bit too brave, hence the need for a tiny friend who loves rough and tumble games.
He's got the most beautiful soft coat like velvet, low shedding too. Low shedding does mean maintenance but it's well worth it.
Valentine is great at using the doggy door but still has the occasional accident so please be patient, he just gets so excited and forgets himself.
He'd looove testing his skills at doggy classes if you'd like to enrol. He is trying to learn his basic training but his foster friends are far more interesting so he gets easily distracted. He'll need ongoing basics in his new home, and being eager to please, he'll learn well.
Valentine is not a digger. He loves pulling his toys apart or presenting them to you as a gift.
Please no cats or pocket pets. A small young dog for company is required. No pools, dams or large ponds. Children in the home or visiting must be over 10yrs.

Tinker | Silky Terrier | Female | 10yrs | IN REHAB
MARCH UPDATE
Things just keep getting better for Tinker. Her ear canals opened wide enough for a stickybeak with the otoscope. Inside was hairy, waxy and dirty. So she was lightly sedated and given a good pluck & clean. Moving forward, keep treating her with her prescribed meds. Focus on the goal of really opening up those ear canals properly and letting the air in. If we can get that happening, the yeast she had won't have anywhere to thrive. I'd like to thank everyone who has applied so far but there's no confirmed date that she'll be ready to go up for adoption. _________________________________ |
UPDATE Awesome news so far. Tinker's meds regimen seem to be opening up her previously completely closed ears and in the next two weeks until her follow-up, her ear canals may open wide enough to get an otoscope in for a good look around. Swabs able to be taken indicated yeast present also. So once we can get drops into her ears and really get on top of things, there's a *fingers crossed* chance that we can avoid ear ablation and save her hearing!
UPDATE With her vet surgeon appointment coming up there's hope we can save some of her hearing.

NEW | Lacie | Maltese Cross | Female | 10yrs | IN REHAB
UPDATE 20th APRIL Dear Lacie is feeling a bit sore but she's ok and has pain meds + antibiotics to go on with.
Her blood panel was great, heartworm tested negative, she's had a thorough scale & polish and only lost one tooth! C5 Vaccinated. She's been desexed and had a harmless lump removed. A top-to-toe health check also.
So in a couple of short weeks we'll list her for adoption.

UPDATE Vetwork booked for Friday 19th April now that her skin is lovely and healthy.
20th MARCH With her fresh haircut and a luxurious bath, Lacie couldn't get any cuter! She even picked out a brand new collar for herself. She's feeling much happier and eating very well. And will cheerfully pose for the camera with the promise of treats. She is a bit of a social butterfly and loves the company of other dogs. It's still a mystery how she ended up a stray and in such a poor state but the hard times are behind her now. Her skin is getting much better too. 10th MARCH Out and about, mixing with her foster friends and looking like she's going to be ok for a full groom. Her hair is brittle and old. Sun damaged. And moth-eaten from chewing at fleas (which are gone obviously). 8th MARCH Lacie just arrived! Many thanks to Kate for doing the transport run. :) Lacie is currently in a very large crate we call the 'decompression' crate. It's raised off the floor in the lounge room so new doggy gets to chill out, have a snooze, see me directly and check out their nosey new friends by looking down upon on them from an angle they feel safest. |

Princess | Pekingese Cross | RETIRING INTO FOREVER CARE
UPDATE 20th APRIL - Princess is going to see a renowned Neurologist in May. So far there's been some improvement and she's learning how to shake paw! She's a little eccentric in her ways but isn't everyone. ;-)
She still doesn't know what toys are but that's ok
She has her favourite blankets but won't use beds which is also ok.
But food bowls are a big deal in regards to a trigger. So she is hand fed and takes each piece very gently.

Dear sweet Princess was dumped outside a vet clinic and simply walked in through the front door. We soon found out why. She appears to have neurological issues. We're cautious not to push her too far but working on testing triggers as well, just in case anything trips a wire. To give you the basics, she was 'attacking' the ground/floor. Not people or hands or other dogs. It's like she could see something that wasn't there. This is occurring much less now she is on her meds. A good sign that we're on the right track. Neurological issues vary so much from dog to dog that there's no quick fix. It's a matter of working with vets to get the best outcome and quality of life. Her comprehensive blood panel results were perfect except for one thing. They came back with unusually low glucose considering she hadn't been fasted prior to her day-stay observation at our wonderful vet clinic. There could be a couple of causes for this, I'll be able to go into detail after we have further testing done moving forward. Princess has already run up some bills, with many more to come as we set about getting to the bottom of things to make sure she can live happily. |
I know we asked for help for Bob, but I'm asking again just in case you have a spare $5.
Any help towards her ongoing health care is needed and greatly appreciated.
