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 :)

Florence (Video!)

Bull Arab x Staffy Mix

Smart even crate-trained!

Meet fun-loving Florence!! 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? Rescued from Broken Hill Pound, where she’d been surrendered as an unwanted Christmas present, Florence 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. She is a clever pup who has mastered sit, drop, stay, leave it, go to your mat, in your bed and knows her name well and has good recall. Florence is also very food orientated (Schmackos are yum!) which will help with any further training you’d like to do with her. This gorgeous girl gets along well with her foster carers own 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. She’s ok with the household cats just wanting them to play with her too though they tend to steer clear of her foolish antics! And Florence is great with kids though school age would be the go as she does tend to jump up a bit when she’s super-excited and may accidentally bowl a toddler over. Enjoy some video of Florence: https://youtu.be/qYNWuVgo04U As you can see in her video Florence loves doggie toys and is always up for a game of tug-o-war and has even learnt to fetch bringing the ball back most times but will always ‘drop it’ when asked. Florence also enjoys going for a walk though as she can be quite strong so a balance harness (or similar) is the way to go. Fabulous Florence also loves spending time indoors and enjoys a snuggle on the couch if she can get away with it! While in foster care she has gotten the hang of toilet-training and learned to use a doggie door, so we’d love to see this indoor / outdoor lifestyle to continue in her forever home. She is also crate-trained and happily goes in there at bedtime or at any time during the day when she’s feeling a little sleepy or just needs some timeout. Coming into care Florence was afraid of water but with patience and making the experience positive she will now jump into a doggy pool and will also tolerate a bath without a fuss. So if you’ve got the time, patience and love required to continue bringing up Florence then please download and complete a SARG Dog Application form by following this link: http://www.sarg.net.au/adopt-a-pet/

Arki No More Enquiries/Applications Please

Silky Terrier

Loves cuddles and walks!

*NO MORE ENQUIRIES/APPLICATIONS PLEASE* Looking for a sweet little dog who loves a cuddle? Then you can’t go past adorable Arki the purebred Silky Terrier with the heart of gold! Recently surrendered to us for rehousing, through no fault of his own, Arki is a terrific little dog who loves hanging with his humans and really loves going for walks. When he first came into care Arki was a bit afraid of children, having not had a lot to do with them in his past life, but since getting out and about with his foster carer he’s now happy to receive a pat from them without shying away though we reckon if he was going to live with kids Arki would prefer them to be older and definitely not boisterous. Adorable Arki would be fine in a home where he’s the only dog as that’s what he’s used to, though it would be terrific if his humans weren’t full-time workers as he really does enjoy having company, so a part-timer, a semi-retired person or even someone who works from home would be perfect. While in care he’s learnt to interact and even play with his carers own little Poodles (he loves other dogs!) though for Arki it really is all about that human interaction and he craves it whether it’s sitting on your knee while you watch tv or pottering around in the garden, Arki will never be far away. Arki is also good with cats having lived with an old one before, and is living with one again in his foster home. Arki’s carer says he has the tiniest bark, however makes up for that with enthusiasm and is so pleased to see her when she comes home from work he jumps for joy and does his happy dance! At just under 7kgs Arki is a terrific ‘take-anywhere’ size. He is fairly low maintenance only needing a short walk or run around the backyard to use up his energy and he doesn’t lose much hair; the occasional brush and bath will keep this handsome fella looking his best! Loveable Arki sleeps inside at night in his crate (yes he is crate-trained!), and while in care he has learnt to use a doggie door, so we would want his indoor / outdoor lifestyle to continue in his forever home. So if you reckon you’ve got room in your heart and your home for charming Arki then please download and complete a SARG Dog Application form by following this link: http://www.sarg.net.au/adopt-a-pet/

Otis

Staffordshire Bull Terrier

Lover not a fighter!

If you’re looking for a wonderful companion with a smile that could light up a room then you can’t go past Otis! Adorable Otis is a super friendly Staffy who puts 110% enthusiasm into everything he does, from greeting his beloved humans to playing in the yard! He’s your typical affectionate, human-loving Staffy who thrives on pats and attention! He does get excited when he first sees you and can jump up but he soon relaxes and is quite chilled out – when you are home he really enjoys spending time lazing around inside on his dog bed. Having not lived with children we would recommend a home where they are school-aged or older with some dog experience as Otis may accidentally bowl the littlies over with his playful exuberance plus he’ll need someone to throw his much-loved ball! Otis enjoys playing with his toys, especially his tennis balls, and is always up for a game of fetch with anyone who wants to join in. Surrendered due to the older male Staffy he was living with constantly picking fights with poor Otis we reckon he’d be happiest in a home as the only dog. He loves going for walks wearing a harness; he starts out strong though before long settles into a more manageable pace. At 27.5kgs Otis is quite chunky for an English Staffy so daily walks should help him shed that extra kilo or two plus all that walking will be terrific for both of you! Otis is a smart cookie; he sits for his dinner, shakes hands, has great recall, and would do anything for a Schmacko or two if you’d like to do some further training with him. On hot summer days he loves to cool off in his pool. Given that Staffies are happiest being with their humans and they shed little hair, we’d like to see Otis’s indoor / outdoor lifestyle continued in his forever home – he’s always slept inside at night. Secure fencing, bones to chew on and lots of love will make Otis very happy indeed! If Otis sounds like the kind of happy, affectionate dog you’ve always wanted in your life without going through the pesky puppy stage then please download and complete a SARG Dog Adoption Application form by following this link: http://www.sarg.net.au/adopt-a-pet.html

Sunny

Border Collie x Labrador Mix

Loves to play fetch!

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, as he does tend to have a little growl when approached while on lead, 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/

Loves cats!

Loves food especially treats! Loves toys! Loves snoozing at her foster carers feet or in her doggie bed! And most of all she LOVES cats so a home with a cat would be right up her alley! This gorgeous love-bug has settled in well into foster care where she’s having a wonderful time with her carers own little dogs as well as the household cats who she adores……in fact Nola would love a home with some furry company if you were to be away at work for much of the day. Nola is an alert little dog who rarely stops wagging her cute tail; she really does love humans of all shapes and sizes, and as she isn’t too full-on would even suit a home with school aged children or older.

She is toilet-trained and sleeps inside at night and has learnt how to use a doggie-door; did we mention Nola is clever???? Being a Wirehaired Jack Russell cross Nola doesn’t lose much hair and will only need the occasional brush and a bath to keep her in tip-top condition.
