Adoption Information

What you Need to Adopt

Thank you for considering adopting a companion animal from us! Please read our Adoption Information page to help you make the best decision possible.

If you see an animal on our website that you are interested in, you can phone Neen Brown, Animal Care Coordinator on (02) 6778 4206 for dogs and Witha Hobson on (02) 6772 6217 for cats. Alternatively you can call the RSPCA Armidale Branch on 0412 217364. All Armidale animals available for adoption are in foster care until a suitable, permanent home can be found.

Please bring the following to facilitate the adoption process:

• Any questions or concerns about adopting.
• If you have an existing dog and would like to adopt another, bring your existing dog along also. Adopting a dog is a huge commitment and is a family decision, including the four-legged kind.
• Check with your landlord or strata group to make sure that you are allowed to have a pet.

Costs and benefits of adopting a pet from RSPCA Armidale Branch:

Dogs $195.00. Includes: Veterinary check, microchipping, desexing, vaccination and worming.

Cats $140.00. Includes: Veterinary check, microchipping, desexing, vaccination, worming and flea treatment.

Premises Inspection

All dogs adopted from the Armidale Branch require a premises inspection.

To pass premises inspection you must have:

	A fully fenced yard with the fences (including gates) at least 1.5 metres in height. If you have a pool, this will also require fencing.
	A yard of adequate size for the dog you wish to adopt.
	Proper shelter. A shelter must provide protection from the elements and be large enough for the dog to stand up or lie down in. It must also be enclosed on three sides and have a floor and roof that is impervious to rain and provides shade.
