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 RSPCA
NSW Nowra on (02) 4429
3410. Please note the animals tag no. before calling. When
you visit an RSPCA NSW nowra Region, 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.

Premises
Inspection Some animals may require
a premises inspection - in this instance you may pay an inspection fee and the
animal will be held for you at the Shelter until the premises inspection has been
completed. Please note: The fee is part of the adoption price and is not refunded
if the premises were found not to comply with the requirements set out on the
Application Form and as signed by the prospective purchaser. 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. |
