Rescue animals come into our care directly from pounds, from other rescue organisations when additional veterinary treatment is required, surrendered by owners, or abandoned. We provide housing, nutrition, preventative health care, acute health care, training, enrichment, socialisation and love until we can find each of them an appropriate home.
Meet our rescue animals
Rescue Dogs
Bambi's name is as charming as her adorable little face! She is such a sweet and affectionate little girl who has blossomed during her time in care. Initially timid and head-shy, Bambi has shown remarkable progress, growing more confident every day.
Missy is a cheerful and outgoing girl who enjoys cuddles, outdoor adventures, and playful games like tug-of-war with ropes. She has a vibrant personality and loves being the centre of attention!
Penny is a one-of-a-kind, affectionate, and intelligent 1-year-old Cattle Dog X (we think!). With the sleek size of a Kelpie, the warm colouring of a Red Cattle Dog, and an irresistibly scruffy wire-haired coat, Penny is a total heart-stealer.
Jet is an outgoing, sociable, and playful boy with an endless capacity for love. Whether he's zooming around the yard, throwing himself onto the grass for a good roll-around, or diving headfirst into mud puddles, Jet's zest for life is unmatched.

We have found forever homes for many of our animals in need. It’s just wonderful to see how well rescue animals can thrive with loving and caring owners. You can meet some of our successful adoptions on our success story page:

Sweet Pea Animal Rescue Ltd is a registered charity. With your support we can help improve the lives of abandoned and unwanted animals and educate our communities about responsible pet ownership and the welfare of those animals.
The Adoption Process:
Rescue animals come into our care directly from pounds, from other rescue organisations when additional veterinary treatment is required, surrendered by owners, or abandoned. We provide housing, nutrition, preventative health care, acute health care, training, enrichment, socialisation and love until we can find each of them an appropriate home.
1. Care & Treatment
Before being adopted each of our rescue animals will be: desexed, microchipped, vaccinated, and treated for fleas, ticks & intestinal worms.
They will also have received a full health check. Our mature rescues have blood screening carried out and a heartworm test performed.
2. Adoption Questionnaire
All interested adopters must complete an Adoption Questionnaire, prior to meeting the rescue animal they are interested in.
This assists us in ensuring that we have found the most suitable forever home for each of our rescue animals.
3. Meet & Greet
Following the adoption questionnaire, we arrange a meet and greet with all the family members and any other pets living in the household. This ensures everyone gets to play and gets along.
4. Trial Period
If all goes well, the adoption is completed, and a two week trial period begins. It is rare that any adoptees are returned within the trial period, but this allows both parties time to ensure that the right decision has been made.
