Pet Adoption
|
The RSPCA Shelters have an extensive adoption program
for pets including puppies, kittens, dogs, cats,
rabbits and guinea pigs.
We are looking for permanent, responsible homes for the animals at our
shelter. Thousands of animals die each year because irresponsible owners
neglect their pets, let their pets' breed, or just decide they no longer
want their animals. Please consider the time and money required in owning a
pet. Owning a pet is a lifetime commitment!

To ensure that the animals we are re-homing will have a safe and secure
future we have specific adoption policies, please read carefully:
You must be 18 years of age or older to
adopt an animal.
All animals leaving the shelter must be
de-sexed.
All animals receive a free health
examination on leaving the RSPCA. If, you find a medical problem we did
not detect or if one develops during
the first two weeks you have the animal, we will treat this medical
problem at our clinic, free of
charge. If the Society determines that treatment is not a viable solution,
may
either choose another animal or be
provided with a full refund.
While we hope your pet selection process
is successful and permanent, we do offer a fourteen-day period
to ascertain acknowledged
behavioural abnormalities during which time depending on the problem a
refund is available. During
this period you may surrender the pet for any reason and no charge will be
made for the surrender.
No cash refunds will be given.
If, at any time, you can no longer care
for your pet and cannot find a suitable home, you should return the pet
to the one of the RSPCA
Shelters or another shelter. A surrender fee would be applicable in this
instance.
The RSPCA reserves the right to refuse
any adoption when it is felt the adoption is inappropriate in the
circumstances.
