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 this site you are interested in, please contact Marguerite
(02) 6562 1554 for dogs or Carol (02) 6562 4260 for cats. Please note the
animals name &/or tag no. before calling. Please
bring the following to facilitate the adoption process:
- Two forms of identification,
at least one of which shows your current address. A telephone or electricity
bill can serve as one. A driver's license, passport, student ID as a second
piece of ID are also acceptable.
- 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.
