[NSW] Free Dog Adoptions @ RSPCA NSW

520

We’re excited to celebrate International Dog Day in a very special way this year. Thanks to the incredible generosity of a loyal RSPCA NSW dog-loving donor, adoption fees for dogs and puppies will be waived from 29 August to 15 September. During this period, you can welcome a new furry family member for $0* and give them the caring home they deserve.

In addition, to help you and your new friend settle in smoothly, each adoption will go home with a care package from our generous friends and Partners, which contains:

  • An RSPCA veterinary care voucher**
  • One month of Advocate Flea and Worming Treatment from Elanco**
  • An enrichment toy from our friends at Kong Company.
  • Canine food from Royal Canin, our National Nutritional Partner
  • A surprise gift of either, a dog toy from Kazoo Pet Co, a stylish lead from Dogue or a collapsible water bowl from Pablo and Co.

Terms & Conditions
*Offer valid only at RSPCA NSW shelters and adoption centres. Adoptions through BARC, Central Coast are via appointment only. Normal adoption procedures apply. This ensures each animal is matched with the perfect forever home. This adoption promotion is NOT valid at Petbarn stores or RSPCA NSW Branches.

The waived adoption costs are available from Thursday August 29th to Sunday September 15th only and there are no rainchecks. RSPCA NSW cannot put a hold on our animals, as this could prevent them from going to their forever homes sooner. Unfortunately, we are unable to extend the discounted adoption price outside of the set dates listed above.

**RSPCA NSW recommends the ongoing use of Bravecto Flea & Tick Protection.

Note:Offer valid only at RSPCA NSW shelters and adoption centres.

        C'mon, time and place jv. Don't vandalise this deal, it's for a good cause. Reserve jokes for the many crappy rep spam posts.

          I don't see anything in the post suggestion there is a limit?

          In fact, the title suggests you can…

        • Jv doesn't care. It's almost genuine that he doesn't discriminate, I guess.

        Poor taste and a d!ck comment.

      • Not a bold statement. That's why it didn't go down well.

    Pets are the best! Great company.
    I hope people realise that there are often significant ongoing costs, it's not just a one off deal. Some dogs being rehomed can also require a bit of patience. Mine wasn't toilet trained in any way originally however they are the best now. If you can afford to insure your pets it can be helpful too. It is expensive however without pet insurance it can be a lot more expensive if health issues are there and less chance of having awkward conversations about a person life over an expensive pet bill. I do understand this is a luxury. If you have a bit of time, money and a place in your heart please do it!

      Not all pets…

        Remember, people, baby turtles and alligators may seem like a good idea as pets, but they grow up!

          Kinkajous can also be a bit aggressive.

    • Vet costs are crippling. Have just lost my sweet girl and cost a lot which i could ill afford. The food is the cheapest part. Pity there wasn't an umbrella organisation where vets could volunteer for free occasionally

    Without clicking, its likely Staffy central

      That’s because it’s the post-Covid 3-4 year olds being given up as owners are hit with cost of maintaining and supporting their dogs.

      It’s why we need to ban all puppy farms and compulsory de-sexing for non-registered breeders

        Aren't they already banned?

      • "compulsory de-sexing" also for those dumping their pets..

    • Cattle dogs and Kelpies actually.

      • +3

        Kelpies is sad. I have had two in my life and both were part time working dogs and they were both trained and every day I had them at the park to work them to no energy left.

        It really pisses me off when I see people with working dogs and with no time to train them or exercise them. They get bored super easy and are smart enough to get into a lot of mischief… Working dogs need lots of space and I see them in my area in tiny back yards that are all dug up.

        Senior working dogs are the best though. Once they are too old for that running around shit, they make great pets and are very intelligent. It’s a shame that everyone wants “puppies” though.

      Staffy or "12 year old dog with one eye and cannot be in a home with children or anyone under the age of 50 or anyone who wears cologne".

      People love to say "adopt don't shop" and get on their high horse about it, but at the end of the day people have a lifestyle and want an animal that fits it.

      If I could I'd adopt all these dogs, they're lovely, but I can't realistically have a 50kg dog that no-one else wants because it eats so much etc.

  • Wish this was for VIC as well.

  • Usually no small dogs under 4kgs…

    What is there to choose from? Staffy, staffy, staffy, cavoodle, staffy, staffy, pugalier, rottweiler, staffy, labrador, staffie…

    • +1

      What is there to choose from? Staffy, staffy, staffy

      They only have 19 Staffys to choose from.

      Nothing wrong with them in any case. All dogs deserve a good home.

      People need to stop being picky for designer dog breeds, especially more so when it's a free adoption with a free care package included.

      • +2

        I didn’t say that there is anything wrong with Staffies. I currently work for a council, and I was merely meaning that Staffies are the most reported breed for the majority of dog related issues in the LGA, and that they are the breed that’s abandoned the most by owners, and our holding facilities generally have a higher percentage of Staffies in them than any other breed of dog.

        • Funny enough I couldn't find a rescue staffy (SA) when I was looking 20 years ago. Ended up finding a freebie staffy x in the paper … went on to be by my side (literally) for 17 years. Great dogs.

        It's almost like people who live in tiny apartments can't have a massive dog

        • It's almost like people who live in tiny apartments can't have a massive dog

          • Not all designer dogs are small.
          • A staffy isn't a massive dog.

          But valid point about tiny apartments.

          I personally wouldn't keep a dog in a small apartment regardless of breed or size. I would consider what is best for an animal in the context of my living situation even if it means a dog isn't adopted, or worse, put down. Probably also a reason why so many dogs end up being abandoned.

          But that's besides the point, not everyone else thinks the same way.

      • All dogs deserve a good home.

        Well, no. Pitbulls should be eradicated from the Earth and all put down. It is very sadistic that these are allowed in our society when they should be quarantined as if they someone infected by a zombie contagion.

        I don't know about RSCPA but in USA, many rescue centres will give cute names to pitbulls and take cute photos so the dogs are adopted. Then they proceed to kill and or seriously maim the new owners and/or community members in the vicinity.

    • Cavoodle available? Im in…

    • one very cute greyhound though
