Lyneee58 Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 (edited) I am wanting to adopt a female Senior Silky Terrier. I know the Senior Silky Rescue in New South Wales has a beautiful Silky called "Lola" available for adoption, however I live in Victoria and they do not permit interstate adoptions. Does anyone have any suggestions as to the best place to go to adopt a girl in Victoria? Thanks Edited April 6, 2018 by Lyn Mucenieks updated post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boronia Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 it maybe a plan to contact the Victorian Silky Club and ask them to help put you on the right track regarding contacts http://www.australiansilkyterrierclub.org.au/silky-rescue.asp 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lyneee58 Posted April 7, 2018 Author Share Posted April 7, 2018 Thank you for your replies - I have contacted the Australian Silky Terrier Club of Victoria but I have not received a reply as yet. I am not sure if my message got through or not as their site doesn't look like it has been attended to for a couple of months. Please let me know if you hear of any other female senior Australian Silky Terriers - I am looking for one around 8 years old. Thanks Lyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boronia Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 Contact the secretary, you may have more luck http://www.australiansilkyterrierclub.org.au/executive.asp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loving my Oldies Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 You could also try Rescued With Love. Have you actually contacted Senior Silky Rescue in Sydney? They might consider adopting interstate if they could organise a home visit from someone they knew in Vic. I’ve done that with interstate adoptions and other rescue groups do that as well. Good luck.

_PL_ Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 Lola is one of ours. She's ex-puppy farm, and understandably not a fan of crates/pens etc so unaccompanied transport isn't an option for her. We do interstate on the occasion that an adoptive home is willing to do the travelling (and we can organise a yard check). One lovely couple came from SA to adopt another from WA, but it's not always a reasonable distance for many. Lola is up near Port Macquarie. I'd definitely try RWL if distance is a factor.

Lyneee58 Posted April 12, 2018 Author Share Posted April 12, 2018 Hi everyone I am pleased to announce that my application to adopt Lola has been accepted. Anna and Emma are truly lovely ladies and the work they do rescuing these beautiful little dogs is amazing. We are heading to NSW with our 10 year old Silky Stevie on Anzac Day to meet Lola . I am so excited and cannot wait to see her. Thank you all for your support Lyneee xx 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lyneee58 Posted April 26, 2018 Author Share Posted April 26, 2018 Hi everyone - met Lola last night and it went really well. Our 10 year old Silky Stevie also met Lola and things went smoothly between them. Em has done a fantastic job rehabilitating her. Em is so dedicated and a very special person and I know saying goodbye to Lola will not be easy for her but we will look after Lola and give her all the love and care that Em has given to her. We are collecting Lola this morning and then making the long trip back to Ballarat, Victoria. Thanks Anna for all of your help in bringing us all together Xx 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
