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 :)

Koda!

Kelpie x Rhodesian Ridgeback Mix

Will love you to bits!

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/

Rudy No More Enquiries/Applications Please

Bullmastiff Mix

Loveable goofball!!!

*NO MORE ENQUIRIES/APPLICATIONS PLEASE* Meet Rudy, he’s a lanky, loyal and loveable lad whose foster family describe as “a big goofball!” He is confident and happy around other dogs. He gets along great with his foster brother & sister and would benefit from being in a home where he has at least one other canine friend. Being a large boy he would be best suited to a household with medium to large sized dogs. He is not a fan of cats as he has been teased by a few in the past (his words!), so a cat-free home is a must. Surrendered to us for rehousing through no fault of his own, Rudy loves human company too and will offer you a big sloppy kiss when you first meet him. He is very enthusiastic and friendly - sometimes forgetting just how big he is and for this reason he would be best suited to a family with older aged children as he may accidentally bowl the littlies over with his playful exuberance. This clever young dog is a fast learner and an eager student who would benefit from continued basic training. He responds to affection as well as small food rewards during training sessions. Rudy is calm on the lead and stays by your side though will need more practice in his forever home as he has the potential to be a very strong dog. He is also developing his confidence when transitioning into a car as it was all new to him when he first came into care. Due to his foster family having an indoor cat Rudy currently spends all of his time outside and happily sleeps in a kennel. He is an early riser and enjoys bounding around in the long grass, chasing after balls or encouraging his foster brothers to play with him. He would benefit from a medium to large sized backyard to work off his energy. Rudy has a lust for life that is insatiable and his funny personality is guaranteed to leave you in fits of laughter! If this loveable, big goofball sounds like the dog for you then please download and complete a SARG Dog Adoption Application form by following this link: http://www.sarg.net.au/adopt-a-pet/

Lily On Trial in Her New Home

Border Collie Mix

Clever pup!

*LILY IS CURRENTLY TRIALING HER NEW HOME - NO MORE ENQUIRIES/APPLICATIONS PLEASE* Meet loveable Lily! Her carer’s refer to her as their best foster yet, and if they didn’t already have 2 dogs of their own they’d adopt Lily themselves. This intelligent pup would love a home where she’d be walked daily and have the company of another dog if her owner worked full-time: will it be with you? Recently surrendered to us Lily is the result of an accidental one night stand – her lovely natured mum is a purebred Border Collie (now desexed) while her father is unknown so we’ve played the old guessing game and based purely on Lily’s looks we wouldn’t be surprised at all if “dad” was a Bull Arab. While in foster care she has been living with two older Cavoodles who, due to Lily’s gentle nature, took to her straight away. She likes to entertain herself with her toys or coax her humans into a game of fetch even bringing the ball back every time. Lily also enjoys a pat and a cuddle and isn’t at all licky or in your face. Enjoy some video of Lily and friends: https://youtu.be/r_VeIhmES9w Lily plays: https://youtu.be/qf4JdUh7JCk Lily fetches: https://youtu.be/vn7c4iNz3-M When given the chance, Lily loves spending time indoors as she thrives on human company and quickly got the hang of using a doggie door, so we’d love to see this indoor / outdoor lifestyle continue in her forever home. She is toilet trained and sleeps inside and you don’t hear a peep out of her all night; in fact Lily rarely barks only doing so for a reason. Lily is quite food orientated and had already learnt to “sit”, “drop” and “wait” before coming into care. She walks well on a lead using a harness and is also good while off-lead tending to stay close by, and if she does wander off Lily has terrific recall. As she’s only a young pup she will require ongoing obedience training as well as socialisation with other dogs so she grows up to have lovely manners – Lily loves a run at our local dog park where she displays submissive behaviour while interacting with the other dogs. If you’ve got the time, patience and love to continue bringing up lovely Lily then please download and complete a SARG Dog Application form by following this link: http://www.sarg.net.au/adopt-a-pet/

Stella On Trial in Her New Home

Bullmastiff Mix

Sweet senior!

*STELLA IS CURRENTLY TRIALING HER NEW HOME - NO MORE ENQUIRIES/APPLICATIONS PLEASE* Sweet Stella is a mature lady with a heart of gold! She loves to pass the day devouring bones and taking occasional naps. She happily basks in the sun and often moves her bed around so that it is positioned to catch the morning rays. Being rehoused through no fault of her own, Stella loves a belly rub and will happily position herself close to you for pats. She will look at you with her kind brown eyes as if to say “more pats please!” Stella shows affection through gentle nuzzles – she’s not licky or in your face. This clever girl calmly sits, drops and shakes hands on command. She is a quiet dog, only barking on occasion to alert humans of someone unfamiliar approaching the house or yard. Although she has a very calm demeanour, Stella can still be energetic when encouraged and will match your energy level. She will happily run for a few km’s but enjoys short occasional walks just as much. Stella travels safely in the back of a ute and is great on the lead during walks. Her favourite thing in the world is water! She loves to splash around and swim in the river so a doggie pool in the warmer months is a must! Stella enjoys a mostly outdoor lifestyle and will happily wander around greeting everyone during a family gathering. Due to her size, she would be best suited to an environment with older children as she may accidentally knock the littlies over. Although she gets along with everyone, Stella tends to gravitate towards adult males. She is toilet trained and when chilling inside Stella will happily sit and have a cuddle on the floor or the couch and likes to place herself as close as possible to her humans! She would love a forever home where this indoor/outdoor lifestyle can continue. Stella displays approachable and calm behaviours around dogs of all sizes. She is unsure about cats and may bark once or twice if she spot’s one close by. Stella is an affectionate and devoted lady with a lot of love left to give. Will you be the lucky one?

Sunny On Trial in His New Home

Border Collie x Labrador Mix

Loves to play fetch!

*SUNNY IS CURRENTLY TRIALING HISNEW HOME - NO MORE ENQUIRIES/APPLICATIONS PLEASE* Introducing Sunny the ball crazy, happy, eager, fun-loving soon to be 9 year old! Recently surrendered to us, through no fault of his own, Sunny is a very enthusiastic dog with the energy of a young 3 year old when it comes to chasing his beloved favourite toy THE BALL! Being a mixed breed of Labrador x Border Collie, this big boy is looking for that loving home where he can wrap his paws around your heart and melt you with his adorable chocolate eyes. Sunny is an indoor-outdoor dog who is way past that destructive ‘puppy chew everything’ stage and is quite happy to sit quietly at your feet curled up in front of the tv, with a ball in his mouth of course! He comes house trained….wow this fella has EVERYTHING going for him….”what a catch” we hear you say! Sunny is looking for a home where his humans will have the time to spend with him on a daily basis; a run and/or a swim is his all-time favourite thing, and he has been very fortunate in his foster home to be able to jump in the back of the ute, with his 3 furry buddies, and go for a Murray River adventure each day, (yes with a ball or 3!) - he’s an excellent swimmer too! Being a bigger boy, Sunny would be better suited to a family with older children who can play nicely with him and, you guessed it, throw that ball……and what’s more he’ll show his gratitude by returning it to you every time! Or perhaps you’re a tradie looking for a work buddy or a bestie to go fishing with; did we mention he loves a ute? Sunny isn’t always dog friendly on their first meet (but only on-lead), as he does tend to have a little growl when approached, however after a sniff or two he thinks “hey this is safe and ok now we can be mates” . In his previous life Sunny was an only dog though lived with a dog-friendly cat and they got along fine. Being a Lab cross Sunny LOVES his food, so is easily trained, however being a more mature fella he has this all nutted out, so he sits on command, will wait for his food at mealtimes, walks really well on a lead, has great recall off-lead, doesn’t often bark (unless a bird flies into his backyard so he’s potentially not bird friendly), and he will wait at the front door on command for his walk……whoa what a fantastic all-rounder, does this boy get any better??? We think not!! Sunny is a very affectionate gentleman who will greet you in the mornings with many slobbery and quite loud licks/kisses, he doesn’t have a favourite doggy bed, so tends to just find a comfy carpet spot either by the bedside or in the lounge area when it’s bedtime. So if you’ve always wanted a loyal and loving mature mate to play fetch with please download and complete a SARG Dog Application form by following this link: http://www.sarg.net.au/adopt-a-pet/
