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.

Lacie | Maltese Cross | Female | 11yrs | Sydney |

Darling Lacie is looking for her perfect forever home.
Lacie arrived into our care after being impounded and nobody came to collect her. Lacie's skin and coat needed work with medicated baths and her weight was a bit under ideal. She needed her scrappy hair shaved off. To see her now, you wouldn't think she is the same dog. Her coat is beautiful and she's a great weight. Her coat is kind of bristly and not no-shed, she doesn't seem to shed everywhere though. Once her hair gets longer she'll need a good brush. She is calm, collected and smoochy. She loves to curl up in a bed with you. She doesn't require a doggy companion. She isn't interested in toys and is quite happy to potter around. She asks for pats, knows how to use the doggie door, she enjoys a short walk and walks well on lead. Lacie is house trained. She's a dream girl! We're looking for a quiet home with preferable with people who are home more often than not. And who understand that soulful look she gives means it's time to sit on your lap for pats. She's fine as an only dog. A doggie companion who is chilled out like her would be OK too. Her home would ideally have a small backyard as she loves a grassy spot to sniff and explore. Lacie is not compatible with cats. Lacie is not used to children. Kids visiting or in the home must be over 10yrs. No pools or dams. While in care we've noticed Lacie is prone to constipation. We adjusted her diet which seems to have resolved the issue. Her new forever family would need to continue the diet we've found most appropriate. She eats home cooked chicken breast stew with sweet potato and legumes. Please provide as much information as you can in your application so we can assess it properly. Lacie is not a candidate for third party transport. |

NEW ARRIVAL | Buddy | Male Maltese | 11yrs | IN REHAB
Poor Buddy.
He's skinny and sad. He had to lose most of his matted coat and has severe dental disease. So he'll also lose a lot of teeth very soon. So far, he's a gentle snuggler, and will follow you wherever you go. Those beautiful brown eyes gazing at you. He's still a bit head-shy, but once he's squished up against you, he will take all the pats he can get. At night, Buddy needs to be tucked in under a blankie for a nice cosy sleep. |

Tinker | Silky Terrier | Female | 10yrs | Sydney | IN REHAB
MAY/JUNE UPDATE
All going well. :) Opening ear canals that have been narrowed for so long takes time and patience. Tinker is the most cooperative girl. MARCH/APRIL PROGRESS 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. Plan; 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. |

Princess | Pekingese Cross | Sydney | IN REHAB
JULY 2024
Time to consolidate Princess' notes or they will go on forever!
Please check back soon for a full update.
Short version is that her behaviour is not neurological (we had her assessed at SASH), she's been desexed and had a dental, x-rays and blood tests. She's doing soooo well and will begin her patella surgeries in a month or so.

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.
