Pet adoption and foster care

Any animal that has been admitted into the pound either as a lost animal or surrendered by its owner, may become available for adoption.

Animals must undergo a veterinary exam and a behavioural test prior to adoption.

All animals adopted from the pound must be de-sexed, microchipped, wormed, vaccinated and registered with Council prior to release. The cost to adopt an animal from the pound will vary depending on the veterinary work required, however it is approximately $100 - $300 for a dog or cat.

We offer a guarantee on all animals adopted from the pound. If an animal is not acceptable to a purchaser because of health, physical or other reasons (excluding accidents), which is supported by a statement from a veterinary practitioner, within seven days of purchase, we will accept the animal back and refund the purchase price of the animal. If an animal is returned within three days for any other reason, we  will refund 75% of the purchase price or offer a replacement animal with the same guarantee. If the animal dies or is euthanised as a result of a disease that is traceable to the point of sale, we will refund the purchase price or offer a replacement animal with the same guarantee.
