Golden Oldies & Special Needs
Our mature dogs and cats deserve a loving home but are often overlooked.
They say you can’t teach an old dog new tricks, but they (and the cats) may surprise you.
We are always overjoyed when our mature animals are re-homed.
All golden oldies are available at a special price to the right home so feel free to browse through below and then come in to meet them.

* Narla 100+ Club
Female Bull Arab/Unknown Senior Large Dog
Name: * Narla 100+ ClubBreed: Bull Arab/Unknown
Age: 7 years 11 months.
Sex: Female
Weight: 36.7 kg
AdoptionFee: $199
Summary: Narla is a part of our Forgotten Friends Initiative.
Azura Building Group and SCARS are partnering to support six wonderful dogs who have faced challenges and are now ready for a fresh start.
To help them on their journey, we’re giving:
Adoption Fee – Covered
Parasite Protection for 6 months
Food Supply for 6 months from Savourlife
Post Adoption Training Support Pack.
Narla is a long-term girl in the refuge. Narla does not trust easily and is very selective when meeting and building relationships with new people. Narla has shown those whom she trusts much love and affection and is very playful with them. Narla's new family would ideally be an active older couple who will put in time and effort into training and giving her guidance in the home. Narla suits a home that is quiet and that doesn't have to many guests or family members coming and going. Narla is dog-selective but needs to be the only dog in the home and have no visiting dogs. Narla is not a dog who would enjoy going to highly populated environments but enjoys a quiet bush walk and a splash in the water instead. Narla travels well in the car but is suspicious and will bark if people approach. Narla loves her toys and to be chilling out lazing around. Narla needs to find a special home with people who understand her needs and who are willing to take it slow with building a relationship.
Big Boy 100+
Male Domestic Short Hair Senior Medium Cat
Name: Big Boy 100+Breed: Domestic Short Hair
Age: 10 years 1 month.
Sex: Male
Weight: 8.7 kg
AdoptionFee: $70
Summary: Big Boy and his bonded partner Bobby are part of a group of cats who have come to us from a multi-cat household. Big Boy is a sweet affectionate boy who enjoys a pat as long as you don't rush him. He is the friendlier one of the pair and will give you all the love.
While this group of cats was loved and cared for, there were just too many cats and not enough love to go around. As a result, these cats have grown up relying on each other for company and are not too interested in humans. While some of these cats enjoy a gentle pat, most simply want to be left in peace to do their own thing. They are calm, placid, indoor cats and are easy to care for - they are house trained and love their tucker.
We are looking to rehome these cats in PAIRS so they can find confidence with each other in their new surroundings. Their new homes should be in quiet households, where they can settle into a routine with familiar people. No other pets or young children please as they may not respect their boundaries. A catio where they can sun themselves and do a bit of bird watching would be fabulous.
If you think you can help us rehome these beautiful cats, please come out to meet them today.
