Adopt a dog

Our "pound pooch" dogs are looking for homes!

Adopting a dog from the pound is a great way to help an animal in need. Our pound adoptions also have an excellent success-rate because each animal is fully assessed and given some training before it is advertised, to make sure it is suitable for residential homes.

Your checklist:

Do you want to adopt?
Are you in a position to give the dog the care and attention it needs?
Do you have space for the dog to exercise?

How to enquire

Please contact the Animal Management Centre directly to discuss adoptions.
