Sunraysia Animal Rehousing Group

About

Commencing in 2007, the Sunraysia Animal Rehousing Group (SARG) wants the very best home for animals that have, through no fault of their own, become homeless.

We want to ensure that the animals we’ve saved are placed in a safe and loving environment that is suitable for their breed and that they will be very well cared for, for the rest of their lives.

SARG also wants to help to educate the community on responsible pet ownership.

SARG is based in Mildura in Victoria which is 600kms north-west of Melbourne. We prefer potential adopters to come to Mildura to meet our dogs and make sure you both like each other!!

We do not have our own shelter so rely on a network of wonderful foster carers from the Sunraysia region which we're always looking for more of.

SARG is run by volunteers in our spare time so please be patient when awaiting a reply to a query or application as sometimes our paying jobs get in the way!

Adoption details

Please Note: SARG and our animals for adoption are located in Mildura in North-West Victoria.

Our adoption process commences with completing an Application form which you'll find at: www.sarg.net.au

The Application is then reviewed, references checked and a yard check done, then, if there are no issues, a meet and greet is organised. If all goes well the last stage is a 28 day home-trial to make sure that everyone is happy.

If the trial is successful our “stray” is then officially considered adopted and the microchip transferred into the new owners name.

If anything goes wrong SARG will always take back one of our animals :)

Arnya!

Boxer x Staffy Mix Dog

Loves to play fetch!

Meet adorable Arnya! She’s a Boxer/Staffy mix who is playful, affectionate and intelligent. Some of the things she loves include - pats, cuddles, belly rubs, other dogs, children and humans in general. While in foster care she has been living peacefully alongside three other dogs, kittens, cats and chickens. Arnya has displayed calm and gentle behaviours around all of her animal friends and would benefit from having the company of another dog if her family worked full-time. Arnya likes to play tug-o- war with humans and other dogs and will fetch toys and balls - she will willingly bring these items back to continue the game! During the hotter months, Arnya enjoys splashing about in her doggie pool and finds sprinklers fun and intriguing! During feeding time, Arnya will sit and wait until her carer says “Ok” before eating, but often finishes quickly and searches for more! She is highly motivated by treats and would benefit from continued obedience training to consolidate her basic understanding of commands. This laid-back pup would love a home where she can enjoy an inside/outside lifestyle. She is excited initially when venturing inside but Arnya calms quickly; happily sitting by your feet or in her bed. She walks on the lead calmly, matching your pace and remaining by your side. Providing her with a favoured toy assists in a successful transition into the backseat of a car as she can be unsure during this time. If you’ve got the time and love to continue bringing up ‘Adorable Arnya’ then please download and complete a SARG Dog Application form by following this link: http://www.sarg.net.au/adopt-a-pet/

Champ!

American Bulldog Mix Dog

Great with dogs & cats!!!

This gorgeous boy came to us at SARG with a story…..Not a very happy story, but that isn't unusual for rescue dogs……Lets just say that Champ wasn't wanted anymore and roughed it by himself for several weeks until some kind people helped him. Now he is looking for a furever home where he will get lots of pats and will be loved……Not much to ask for! Champ is an American Bulldog cross with a beautiful face and is around the height of a male Whippet or Kelpie (but has a bit more weight on him!). He is ultra-friendly and his tail wags most of the time! His favourite things include food, runs, other dogs, people, pats, snoozing in the sun, a drive in the car and food. And pats. And more pats! Champ is even good with cats! Although he is quite keen on annoying his foster parent's chooks and ducks from the other side of the fence…so we reckon a fowl-free home is the go. Our vet thinks Champ is around 15 months old, and he still has some puppy traits. The vet doesn't think he will get any bigger, but he may fill out now he is getting regular meals (something he is very happy about!). Clever Champ knows “sit” and understands "no" - he is a very smart boy who would thrive on some further training as his manners could be improved. Champ is mostly an outside dog but likes to venture inside for the occasional snuggle. He is happy to sleep inside or outside, and would be fine as an only dog or with other fur children...as long as he gets pats and there is someone to lean on! He loves kids but is quite strong so a house with older kids would be better suited. He would also love a long run every day and regular exercise. Champ is a friendly boy who just wants to please and be part of a family of his own….And he certainly deserves that after his adventures! If you’ve got the stable, loving, furever home that Champ deserves then please download and complete a SARG Dog Adoption Application form by following this link: http://www.sarg.net.au/adopt-a-pet/

Koda On Trial in Her New Home

Kelpie x Rhodesian Ridgeback Mix Dog

Will love you to bits!

*KODA IS CURRENTLY TRIALING HER NEW HOME - NO MORE ENQUIRIES/APPLICATIONS PLEASE* Meet fun-loving Koda!! She’s looking for a fantastic forever home who’ll give her lots of love as well as continuing on with her training and socialisation so she grows up to have marvellous manners; will it be with you? Koda is a confident young dog who’d love a home with a playful pooch if you were to be at work for most of the day as she enjoys having company. This gorgeous girl gets along well with most dogs though can be a bit rough with the older little ones, so a similar sized dog in her forever home would suit her best especially if they’re up for a game of tug-o-war! She hasn’t met a cat though we’re thinking her playful exuberance might be a tad too much for one. Having Kelpie in her Koda does jump up especially when she’s super-excited so if her home was to include children they’d need to be dog-experienced older kids of at least 10 years as she’d accidentally bowl a little’un over. Clever Koda has mastered the basics such as ‘sit’ and “NO” although sometimes her attention span gets in the way of remembering – life can be very distracting when you’re a wiggly-waggly fun-loving pooch! She is very food orientated (Schmackos are yum!) which will help with any further training you’d like to do with her. Koda has had some lead experience though will need some practice in her forever home, and as she can be quite strong a Gentle Leader or Halti is the way to go. Adorable Koda is house/toilet-trained and really enjoys snoozing in front of the fire while her humans watch tv so we’d love a forever home where this indoor / outdoor lifestyle can continue. Koda’s not too fussed about where she sleeps except when it’s cold then she prefers to sleep inside near the fire or close to her beloved humans. Secure fencing, regular walks and doggie toys to play with will make Koda very happy indeed…….and did we mention she loves a game of tug-o-war???? So if you’ve got the time, patience and love required to continue bringing up Koda then please download and complete a SARG Dog Application form by following this link: http://www.sarg.net.au/adopt-a-pet/

Candy & Demi On Trial in their New Home

Pomeranian x Terrier Mix Dog

Senior sweethearts!

*CANDY & DEMI ARE CURRENTLY TRIALING THEIR NEW HOME - NO MORE ENQUIRIES/APPLICATIONS PLEASE* Candy and her trusty sidekick Demi are looking for a quiet forever home together after having lost both of their beloved humans – will it be with you? Adorable Candy, who was actually adopted from us back in 2011, is the more outgoing of the pair – she’s confident, friendly and loves humans of all shapes and sizes! You’d never pick her as being 9 years of age as she’s still got plenty of bounce and loves, loves, loves to chase a ball even though she doesn’t always bring it back to you, but hey that’s part of the fun cos then you can chase her! Candy enjoys pats and will roll over for her fave belly rub. She also really likes food especially treats and will sit then take them gently from your hand. Sweet Demi is a shy little dog with a wee, waggy tail who wasn’t overly impressed at her photoshoot, wondering what all the fuss was about! She misses her mum the most as she used to snuggle in her chair with her, both snoozing for hours on end. Demi relies on Candy to help her out and be her guide as she has age related sight deterioration. Once Demi gets to know you she comes out of her shell and is such a gentle soul who just loves to be loved. Enjoy some video of Candy: https://youtu.be/mu0siRfgscs And some of Demi: https://youtu.be/-e-HG1fe6Dg Both of the girls are toilet-trained, use a doggie door and have always enjoyed an indoor / outdoor lifestyle which we would want continued in their forever home. Although Candy is good with cats Demi is not a fan so a cat-free home would be the go. As they’ve lived most of their life on acreage they haven’t spent any time on a lead so we’re not sure how this would go although they don’t need much exercise just a yard they can explore and a ball for Candy to chase will make them very happy indeed! If you think you have the perfect home for this dynamic-duo then please download and complete a SARG Dog Adoption Application form by following this link: http://www.sarg.net.au/adopt-a-pet.html
