ADOPTION INFORMATION

We operate through a network of private foster homes and do not have a facility like a pound or animal shelter that you can walk through. Each available animal is posted on our Facebook page and on the Pet Rescue website where you can see their photos and learn all about them.

Once your application is submitted and reviewed you will generally be contacted through email within 48 hours to advise you of the outcome. 

If our Adoption team doesn't feel that a particular animal is suitable for your circumstances, they may refuse the adoption. However, we have many wonderful animals waiting to find loving new homes, so if your application has been approved our team may suggest another pet that could be a better match.  

Please refer to the animal's adoption profile for the adoption fee. Fees vary based on a range of factors and help cover the cost of the care and veterinary treatment the animals receive.  Prior to adoption every animal is vet checked, desexed, vaccinated, microchipped and given all medical care required.

The decision to adopt any animal is a big decision and for this reason, we do not allow people to adopt on behalf of somebody else or as a gift for a friend or family member. We ask that all persons responsible for the ongoing care of the pet be involved in the adoption process.

We simply don't have the manpower to keep a waitlist. Please keep an eye on our website and Facebook page where all available animals are posted. 

All of the animals in our care have either been rescued from a pound in Victoria or New South Wales or have been surrendered by the owner for various reasons. Such as they can no longer care for or have time for the animal, or they have had to move and cannot take the animal with them. 

Of course! We are here to support you and our animals, so we don’t see adoption returns as failures, but rather as a great opportunity to learn more about our animals.
