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.

The Sweet Pea Rescue Alumni
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:
Support our rescue program
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.
