Animals available for adoption
Looking for a pet? Consider adopting an animal from the pound.
All animals are de-sexed, microchipped, vaccinated and been treated for fleas and worms before being released to their new home.
We do our best to keep this page up to date, but we are busy caring for our furry friends! That means not every animal is listed online, so we encourage you to visit us in person to meet your future best friend.
If you already own a dog and are planning to adopt another one, please call us to arrange a time to come down with your dog. We will set up a meet and greet so you can ensure they get along.
Photo ID is required when adopting.

Mr Freeze is a return after some time in a home.
In his time away he has learned: he doesn't really like the hustle and bustle of loud houses! He never really settled and it was decided he should come back to us to find his perfect family.
He would be best suited to a household without children but may do well in a home with teenagers who can respect his need for calm.

Muffin is a special case gal. She comes in at 7kg, so she is a whole load of cat!
She is 11 years old, so is considered a senior cat and will need more routine health checks. But don't let that scare you off, she could live another 10 years!
She needs a calm home with cat savvy owners who are prepared to give her time to settle in and watch her diet moving forward.
