Pet Rescue & Rehoming Operations
Our Rescue Mission
We are actively involved in the community, working to provide a lifeline for animals in vulnerable situations. Our rescue efforts focus on giving them immediate safety and care.
What is Pet Rescue?
This is the heart of what we do. Sue’s Pet Transport is passionately committed to animal welfare in the Illawarra. We work alongside local shelters and respond to community needs to rescue animals, providing them with immediate safety, necessary veterinary care, and a nurturing foster environment where they can begin to heal and trust again.
Find a Forever Friend (Rehoming)
The most rewarding part of our work. We are dedicated to matching our wonderful rescue animals with loving, carefully vetted forever families, ensuring a happy future for everyone.
Bringing a rescue pet into your home is a life-changing experience. Our rehoming process is focused on making the “perfect match.” We take the time to understand the needs of both the animal and the potential adopter to ensure a smooth transition and a lasting bond. All our rescue pets are vet-checked, vaccinated, desexed, and microchipped before adoption.

Dog Owner Reviews
“We can’t thank Sue enough for bringing our beautiful girl, Daisy, into our lives. As first-time adopters, we were unsure of the process, but Sue guided us with such kindness and expertise. She made sure it was the right fit for us and for Daisy. The post-adoption support and advice have been invaluable. A truly wonderful, ethical rescue.”
The Patterson Family, Woonona
“Having adopted before, I can confidently say the process at Sue’s is one of the best. It is so incredibly thorough and genuinely focused on the dog’s welfare above all else. We adopted our second dog, Buster, through them, and their careful matching process ensured he settled into our home and with our other dog perfectly. Top-notch organisation.”
Mark H., Kiama
“We originally signed up to foster a dog named Rocky. Sue provided everything we needed—food, bedding, toys—and was always on hand for advice. Well, two weeks later, we were ‘foster fails’! We just couldn’t let him go. The adoption process was seamless, and we’re so grateful to Sue for bringing this amazing dog into our family.”
Chloe and Liam, Dapto
