RSPCA VIC:

"This weekend we’re clearing our shelters! We want to make sure every single animal finds their forever home, so we’re reducing all adoption fees to just $29* from this Friday to Sunday!

Please SHARE this post to help us spread the word!!

*Excludes horses. Standard adoption process still applies so we can make sure each animal and owner is matched properly to live a happy life together. Please allow extra time for your visit during this busy event."

UPDATE:

RSPCA NSW

RSPCA NSW desperately wants to find forever homes for every single one of our shelter animals. For this, we need your help! From 23 February to 25 February 2018, adopting a pet from RSPCA NSW costs just $29, whatever the animal’s age, size or species. There’s no better time to find your new best friend! If the adoption fee is normally $29 or less, the animal will be fee free during this period.

Please note that pre-registration does not guarantee adoption but if you do adopt on the day, your details will already be in our system, maximising valuable time spent with your new pet.

Don’t forget to bring along your unique number (you will receive this in an email once you register) proof of identity (e.g. drivers licence, proof of age card, passport etc.) Please note that our standard adoption procedures still apply, this helps ensure each animal is rehomed with the perfect forever family. Each adoption fee includes desexing and microchipping services, vaccinations, behavioural and veterinary checks.

RSPCA ACT

All are available for adoption this Friday and Saturday at the RSPCA ACT Shelter in Weston Creek and select Pet Barns in Canberra.

WHAT: 'Clear the Shelter' $29 Adoption
WHEN: Friday 23rd and Saturday 24th February 2018
WHERE: RSPCA Shelters including selected Pet Barns.

RSPCA QLD

Save time and pre-register online now. Once our RSPCA team has received your details and entered them into our system, you will receive a unique ID number. Bringing this ID number with you on the day will ensure you get a head start in the adoption application process. Make sure you bring your Driver’s License and confirmation that you are allowed to keep pets at your home.

      I assume this was a joke?

      There's not a lot of profit to be had in breeding dogs. Certainly not if you do it properly with the welfare of the animal in mind. There are much easier more certain ways to make a buck. Did you know about Parvo. If you have a litter of dogs wiped out you won't just be losing profit, it'll cost you a lot of money in vet fees, clean up, you won't be safe to breed that dog again or breed in your home again for years, and you get to watch the dogs die :(:(

      I have never bred dogs myself but had put money down on a puppy and the litter was wiped out :( I wouldn't even go back to collect my deposit because I wanted to buy another soon. Had the breeder deposit it in my bank account.

      • freakatronic on 20/02/2018 - 14:21

        Yes, yes. It was a joke, and heaven forbid anyone make a joke about animals.

    Please can someone explain how this works - do I just rock up to my nearest RSPCA and there'll be pets up for adoption?

    I clicked through the link but there are no pets up for adoption when I search my local branch (I know this doesn't start until the weekend but I want to see in advance rather than waste my time driving there only to find out there are no pets up for adoption)?

    Also, why are there Petbarn branches showing up? Are they part of the RSPCA or do they help the RSPCA care for the pets while the pets wait to be adopted?

    Thanks!

    • bmerigan on 19/02/2018 - 21:45

      There are ALWAYS dogs and cats available. (Because people suck)

      • brotherfranciz on 19/02/2018 - 22:17

        Yeah that's what I was expecting, so I was shocked when the search said 0 results…

    • thatguyfromthatplace on 19/02/2018 - 22:01

      Just rock up. The animals that are available to adopt will be in enclosures in a public viewing area.

      Petbarn shows up because they allow RSPCA to have a few adoptable animals at each store. I've only seen cats at my local.

    Actually NSW is having this too between 23-25 Feb.

    Check the Adopt A Pet site for available animals.

    Please update OP.

  • Neptunesblood on 20/02/2018 - 08:17

    I hope there are some checks on who is buying these animals. There are some horrible people out there.

    • syousef on 20/02/2018 - 08:47

      There are going to be some terrible outcomes from this strategy. I don't doubt that at least for some in the organisation the aim is to help the animals and the hope is that it will be positive overall. (For others it will be all about PR and stats. That's the human race for you). But regardless:

      • People who can't afford to look after these pets will be tempted to buy them - because "only $29! I can afford that. I've always wanted one!"
      • Other people who may have looked after the pets better will miss out.
      • Others who might adopted at a different time may wait for "another sale" if they miss this one.
      • As you mentioned people may purchase the pets with less than noble intentions. As for checks, RSPCA staff are going to be flat out and corners will have to be cut no doubt.

      Now watch as I get downvoted and/or ridiculed while almost no one addresses the issues. It's like a sport here.

  • syousef on 20/02/2018 - 08:49

    Also for those tight on cash note that there are going to be other costs. Food and vet fees obviously but also you must register your dog or cat at your local council. That doesn't mean you shouldn't adopt. Just don't go in thinking the sticker price is the final cost to you.

  • pinkybrain on 20/02/2018 - 10:04

    Is $29 already included the desexing and microchipping services, vaccinations, behavioural and veterinary check?

    Or do we need to pay extra $$ for that?

    • syousef on 20/02/2018 - 10:45

      "Each adoption fee includes desexing and microchipping services, vaccinations, behavioural and veterinary checks."

      -——

      Edit: I'll leave the rest of my post here but the pet expenses checklist here is much more thorough: https://www.moneysmart.gov.au/life-events-and-you/life-event…

      -——

      Other expenses include
      - Place for the pet to sleep
      - Fencing/containment if not already sorted
      - Accessories like food bowl (can be an old bowl but a non-spill purpose made pet bowl is better), hair brush, bedding, crate/kennel
      - Food
      - Toys

      Also from personal experience if it's a dog count on it destroying a couple of things. How much they cost will depend on how much supervision/training you give the new pet and pot luck.

      Regular costs:
      - Food
      - Vet check (at least annual)
      - Meds - Worming/vaccination for a healthy animal

      Possible unexpected costs depend on animal's health more than anything else. So almost entirely luck since you don't know the genetic line's history.

    The NSW link is not working anymore, is RSPCA NSW still doing it?

    • syousef on 20/02/2018 - 13:08

      That's sad. I worry it may have been Ozbargained. People signing up "just in case me or a mate want a pet" with no real intent to show up. RSPCA's limited resources that so many are fond of going off at me about can't cope with large numbers so may have decided to close registrations. It pushes out those who might genuinely own an animal.

      Note that initial cost of the pet is a drop in the bucket compared to overall cost. If you genuinely wanted an animal, can commit and missed out on this, it's not unreasonable to go early and pay full price. from a selfish point of view you'll get a better selection. And it will also reduce the strain on their resources for the adoption days.

        I registered last night when the page was still up. But I thought that the registrations was only for a chance to win 1 in 5 of that $100 online spend? Didn't realise it was actually for the adoptions too.

    Deal updated, appears it will be Australia wide apart from WA:

    It’s expected to be a huge weekend, says RSPCA NSW spokeswoman Stefania Kubowicz, and will mark the organisation’s biggest adoption drive yet, with the campaign extending to all states except WA.

    Have found and linked details for each state/territory apart from TAS which doesn't appear to have details (as yet at least).

    Edit 23/2: TAS not included.

  • Salmando on 23/02/2018 - 10:46

    These specials sound like a bad idea to me. A pet isn't something you usually need tight away, and if your planning to get one cheap you might just wait around for the special.

    Meanwhile, while waiting, all the animals that would have been saved are now killed.
