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.

To facilitate a successful adoption, an open information exchange between us and you is very important - to get the process started, please think about the following prior to contacting us:

• What appeals to you about a particular animal? What questions about the animal do you have?
• Do you have any other animals, children? Has the whole family's (including the 4 legged members) needs/wants been considered?
• Do you own your home? If not, have you checked with your landlord or strata group to make sure that pets are allowed.
• Any questions or concerns about adopting.

Premises Inspection

Dogs adopted from Tweed Shire RSPCA may 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.
