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.

Oh Simon. You dear little lad.
Simon is a real sweetie, he loves everyone. (Except cats!) Happy-go lucky. Just a bit shy with new people and things. He's going to definitely need puppy class. It's hard for him to focus in foster care, there's always something happening or a doggy friend to play with! A proper training class would be perfect and we can find a recommended one in your area if you like. He will absolutely need a playful fluffy young friend and secure yard. Access to the house at all times via a doggy door. A spare water bowl to play in. Lots of toys. Treats. And plenty of attention. He's not going to be a great apartment dog. We're seeking a home with a grassy yard. Simon is/was crate trained. He hasn't needed to use one for a while. He isn't happy on lead and no matter the effot and encouragement. It's just not for him. Important information about his coat. Low shed coats require regular grooming or they can quickly get out of control. Matting and tangling is quite painful so needs to be avoided. Not suited to cats. Would probably harass pocket pets. Not suited as a friend to a senior dog. No pools or dams please. Larger, fully secured yard required. Only children over 10 please. NB. Simon is barky. So his perfect home will understand that his vocal nature is just part of his personality. |

His files can be transferred to your vet which include a comprehensive blood test. He has a mild heart murmur not requiring medication.
His 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 his carer via phone.

Toby is an absolute darling of a gentleman. So sweet and kind, he survived shocking neglect but it hasn't changed his trust and love for humans.
At 15, Toby needs a quiet home. He'd be ok solo but only if you're home a lot to be his friend. He'd also make a great buddy for a lonely senior dog. Toby loves a selection of beds and will also tuck himself into a good size crate if available (you leave the door open and pop a blanket on to make it a comfy den). He loves his food. With no teeth, he's been eating a mushy mix of Hills Puppy during rehab. Toby was emaciated on arrival. And is looking and feeling so much better now. |
In his new home - Toby would love some green-space to explore. Even a little courtyard is enough to make him happy.
No children under 10yrs please.
No outside steps. Toby can go down but usually can't get back up again. He'd get stuck in the hot sun if you're not there to help. This is a genuine safety requirement.
No ponds, pools and dams. Secure fencing required. Access to the home 24/7.

A Bit About Toby....

I don't usually do this but you need to know the state this darling boy was in and how disgusted I am by whoever did this to him.
No doubt happily eating their dinner each night while their little old dog was starving to death outside. The photo you see is how he was found. A heavy jacket covering skin and bones. 2.6kg. His eye, near bursting from glaucoma. Rotten canine with a fistula up into his nasal cavity. Scabs and infected ears. Bare feet. Lick staining from stress. This is ABSOLUTELY INEXCUSABLE. It's taken a long rehab to get him up to 4kg+ His care and treatment began at Coreen Avenue Vets. I'm forever grateful that they helped Toby begin his long road to today. Small careful meals to avoid re-feeding syndrome (fatal), they medicated his ears and started eye drops that brought the excruciating pressure down from 80 to 20. We continued his care from thereon ... |

Dinky little Comet is riot! So terrier, she has boundless energy. Just when you think she's done playing, somehow she finds more zooming power.
With her new teefies coming through, she loves a chew on things. So to keep it appropriate (eg not chewing furniture!) she is provided with all natural dried lamb ears and meaty bones. Usually the meaty bones are bigger than her head and she loves gnawing on them with determination! Comet needs a friend. She's going to get along beautifully with another youngster. If you are a single dog home (lots of folks just want one dog and we totally get it) you're going to have to put in lots of extra effort. Single dog homes will only be considered by telling us what you've done when looking after your previous pup/dog. At Comet's age, she's a bit of a blank slate as far as her exciting new future goes. But remember, a bored terrier is a destructive terrier. Leaving her alone and with no enrichment only gives her a chance to create havoc. She requires training and socialisation to make the most of her intelligence and lovely temperament. You've still got the whole puppy phase to go through for at least 12 to 18 months. It'll take patience and we highly recommend training classes to make her the best doggy citizen she can be. |
N.B. While they have a low maintenance coat, Foxies and Jack Russells do shed. Some more than others.
Not suited to cats. Not suited to senior dog homes. No pools or dams please. Fully secured yard required. Only children over 10 please.

A Bit About Comet
History unknown. Our little girl was found in a dry creek bed in the Western Suburbs of Sydney just before the heavy rains hit. She was taken care of by a kind lady while rangers searched for other possible litter mates. None were found (Rex turned up about a week later in a nearby area).
Comet was not microchipped so impounded as a 7 day stray. But due to her age and tiny size, she was sent to SSR under Duty Of Care. Which means that while she is still a pound dog, she gets to spend her 7 days in the comfort of a foster home. She's still a bit barky at men. And seems afraid at times. Having only had women save her life at just 6 weeks of age.

Blinky Bill | Miniature Poodle | Male | est 2016 | Sydney NSW | IN REHAB
Found wandering in Manildra, a tiny town out past Orange NSW. Blinky waited weeks in the pound for his owners to come but nobody did. He must have been heartbroken.
Once contacted we set about getting him to Sydney ASAP. The day he arrived, I collected a sad, matted boy. He had his 'decompression time' of crate rest (with toilet and sniff breaks on lead). It gives a nervous, shaking new dog time to unwind and watch their new foster buddies from a safe place.
Once he was ready, the introductions began. And he was such a gentleman. Grooming him was a breeze.
Being a velcro poodle, he's a snuggler with both men and women. As long as you have a lap, he's content. He also looooves his toys and throws them at my feet for games.
Blinky has recently been desexed. After he heals, he'll be ready for adoption inquiries. Blinky has strabismus (lazy eye) in one eye but it's not bothering him.

Princess | Pekingese Cross | Sydney | IN REHAB
Princess has been with us for quite a while. Dumped outside a vet clinic, she simply walked in the front door!
And what a strange little soul she was.
First off was a visit to our vets who were baffled by her odd spinning. She had her comprehensive blood and urine tests done. All were fine.
Then a trip to the Neurologist to assess her bizarre behaviour. Fortunately she was not diagnosed as neurological as we were prepared for an MRI or disastrous news. But we were still left with working out why she'd growl, spin and bite her front paw at dinner time or just randomly. Bite so hard, she lost a toenail.
Then it was dental and desexing time. She was almost a pyometra case but we caught it in time.
Then she had a specialist assisted patella surgery from which she's fully recovered.
All the while, trialling medications to see if we could help her. Lots of patience saw Princess improve but there was a missing link.
Finally a drug has been found that lets her be herself. Sassy and funny. Not a care in the world.
Which is great because she needs her final patella surgery and has 4-6 weeks of crate rest then rehab.
Princesses story is to-be-continued.

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.
