Pets For Adoption
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.

Betty | Terrier cross | 18 months | Female | Mid North Coast NSW |
Betty is microchipped, vaccinated, wormed, flea/tick treated, desexed, heartworm negative and lifetime registered. Her adoption fee is $1200 including a 3 week trial, and comes with supplies, food and extras like collar, lead, harness etc. Lifetime return policy and 24/7 access to her carer via phone.
Betty is 18mths old and was born in care, her Mumma is Munchkin who ended up pregnant and in the the pound.
Munchkin had three healthy pups, Betty being first born and nicknamed 'The Golden Child' for obvious reasons, siblings Poppy (was 2nd born and white on colour with non shedding hair) Bruce (was 3rd born and black in colour with a non shedding coat)
Betty has been living in a quiet country town where not too much happens, the home she lives in is quiet with no children. So any new home will need to understand Betty will be nervous and it will be the first time she will have experienced new owners, a new environment and new experience will need to be slowing and steady. Betty is still very much in her puppy phase and that will most likely be until the age of 3yrs. So you must want a pup and go through the stages of growing pains of having a young dog. Toys are a must, as with all pups, this is a favourite pastime, incl mini tennis balls to throw around.
Betty would love having another dog to play with as long as they are a similar size and weight. Betty has the longest legs and the thinnest body, almost like an Italian Greyhound. She is speedy but a lightweight.
Betty can be a bossy diva with other dogs, so a firm but friendly dog of the same size would be great to keep Betty company.
Betty would do well with someone willing to take her to some formal doggy classes so she can socialise and become the best doggy canine citizen possible.
Betty is smart, strong willed at times, selective hearing if she gets distracted, not trust worthy on recall, she knows basic commands and loves treats.
Betty has been raised on the best of food and has been given everything she needs. We would be hoping her adopter will be willing to take pet insurance out to safeguard Betty should any expensive vet care be required, insurance can help cover that expense and afford her any care needed for her whole life.
.
Betty needs a home where her adopters will put the time and energy in to training Betty, showing her the outside world and all it has to offer at Betty's pace depending on how she is coping. Betty's owners will be rewarded with a happy, cheeky girl who loves her humans, and wants to spend her whole life (general life expectancy would be 12+yrs, so a long term commitment by her adopters will be needed).
Betty is hit and miss on the house training, in a new environment could have more than a few accidents, setting up a regular toileting routine will help get Betty pretty good on the house training quickly.
Betty is still in the chewing phase and so we need an owner who will still love her if she chews through a cord to the TV or find your favourite pair of shoes and thinks they are a chew toy. While we don't want her to do this, as with any pup, if the opportunity arises, patience becomes a virtue for her prospective owner.
Betty needs a home with a backyard that has no way to escape, no verandah's with gaps she could squeeze through.
Betty is not cat or pocket pet friendly
No children as Betty is not used to them and it may be considered if the children are 12+yrs and dog savvy.
No pools or dams (Betty is so slight normal pool fencing would not be enough to keep Betty out)
No apartments or units, Betty needs a safe area where she can burn off her energy and play at home outdoors.
Betty is crate trained even if it isn't her favourite place, she enjoys a lambs ear chew and an undisturbed nap when she has tired herself out running, learning and playing.
Betty will come with a harness that fits her perfectly, some toys her carer knows she loves, some treats and toys, a blanket and a few other items her carer wants to send her to her new forever home with.
Please consider Betty as a long term commitment and applicants need to give as much information as possible to help Betty's carer evaluate the home being offered to Betty

His adoption fee is $800 including a 3 week trial, and comes with supplies, food and extras like collar, lead, harness etc. Lifetime return policy and 24/7 access to his carer via phone.
Chewie is a boy who has a zest for life, he may be 8yrs old but everything is exciting to Chewie as if it the first time he has ever experienced anything.
Food gets an excited tap dance
A walk and he is champing at the bit to go
A car ride is fascinating
A friendly dog is met and he wants to play zoomies
A bird in the yard needs to be barked at.
Chewie's enthusiasm is second to none.

- Chewie may love walks but he has short stumpy legs and a barrel body so he isn't designed for long walks and tires soon enough.

- Chewie loves nothing more than food and needs a non gulp bowl to help slow down him scoffing his food.
- Chewie is crate trained as needed
- Chewie would love to sleep on your bed or a bed in your room, he really wants to be with his humans

- Chewie is full of life and is looking out for a home that can understand his vocal separation anxiety, have a yard for him to burn off his energy safely, a human that wants a shadow and a best friend who thinks everything is wonderful.

Mavis | Pomeranian | est 11yrs | Female | Sydney NSW | ON TRIAL

Mavis is trying out a new home.

Dolly | Silky Terrier Cross | Female | est 13yrs | Sydney NSW |
Dolly is microchipped, vaccinated, wormed, flea/tick treated, desexed, heartworm negative and lifetime registered. Her adoption fee is $500 including a 3 week trial, and comes with supplies, food and extras like collar, lead, harness etc. Lifetime return policy and 24/7 access to her carer via phone.
Dolly is amazing, she's survived so much and it's all down to her strength and determination.
She's going to make someone very happy, she's going to be the perfect companion for someone who is home a fair bit. Her loyalty shines through in everything she does.
She's friendly with other dogs as long as they don't disturb her when she's sound asleep. I think we can all relate to that!
Dolly will need a garden. And a sunny spot for relaxing.
And lots of attention. Attention is everything.
Once she trusts you, you'll get to see her tummy inviting rubs and tickles.
At 13, walks are a casual sniff and pee break, then home again for a treat and a cuddle.
Dolly sometimes initiates play, it's the cutest sight. In her new home, I can see that will become a routine.
She looooves her food, don't leave any out for her to graze on or she'll turn into a very chubby girl! Dinner time brings excited barks, and little jumps.
Somewhat easy to groom, she prefers a bath and brush to keep her medium length golden soft silky hair looking beautiful. Bath time with a massage is vey much enjoyed. You may need help with her feet and nails though.
She's pretty good with house-training. Except when she doesn't want to go out in the rain. She will use a pee pad instead.
Dolly has dry eye which needs ongoing care. She is using prescription Optimmune and chemist lubricant for her eyes.
Dolly is quite deaf.
Things we also need in an ideal home;
* Not suited to cats or pocket pets. She's very terrier.
* No pools or dams please.
* Fully secured yard required.
* Only children over 10 please.
* Not suited to apartments.

Finnegan | Chihuahua Cross | est 8 months | Sydney NSW
Finnegan is microchipped, vaccinated, wormed, flea/tick treated, desexed, heartworm negative, hernia repaired and lifetime registered. His adoption fee is $1500 including a 3 week trial, and comes with supplies, food and extras like collar, lead, harness etc. Lifetime return policy and 24/7 access to his carer via phone.
Wow! What a busy boy!
The games and zoomies are only punctuated by a quick meal and warm cuddle to recharge the batteries, then he's off again.
For someone so tiny, Finn flies around with no fear. He especially enjoys the garden with all it's interesting smells, and sticks to collect and take to his bed for safe keeping.
Finn loves toys. He loves digging in his bed. And he absolutely loves another young dog to play bitey-face with.
Once settled in his new home, Finn is going to need more training (or formal classes) in his manners & skills but he's clever and catches on quickly with repeated reward based reinforcement.
Finn is not going to be a match with anyone who can't play for hours, so no senior dogs please.
Or a doggo overprotective of their owner or food. This will avoid clashes with his feisty character. As we've stated, he needs further training once he bonds with you.
He can be quite distracted easily by his other friends in foster care, and prefers to zoom rather than concentrate! A home with just one friend will help him focus better.
Experience with puppies is a bonus. At his young age, you've got at least another year or two of silliness.
If you feel Finn might be a match, please read his notes and requirements thoroughly before applying.
Still learning to walk on lead.
Still working on toilet training accidents but with consistency, he'll get there.
Still a potential trip hazard.
Things we also need in an ideal home;
* Not suited to cats or pocket pets.
* No pools or dams please.
* Fully secured yard required.
* Only children over 10 please.
* Not suited to apartments.
* Too tiny for third-party transport.

SSR Forever Care Program
A special program for special needs dogs.
Safe under our wing, these dogs get all they need and so much love from their Forever Carers.
SSR has always had this safety net for dogs entering our care. Most of our rescue dogs have never seen a vet or it has been a long time in between visits. We take them on 'blind' to their health and their needs. As we say 'this is rescue' and we take it as it comes.
The program protects the most vulnerable and delicate dogs that would otherwise have no where to go. We have been known to take a behaviourally challenged dog on from time to time too.
We are always in need of sponsorship for our dogs.
There is no minimum monthly donation that you need to donate. Just a regular monthly donation.
This helps cover some of the costs involved in keeping our Forever Program viable.
