RSPCA Adoption

Our sites will continue to operate on an adoption-by-application model. When browsing our available animals, applications to adopt can be submitted by clicking the blue ‘apply online now’ button. Once an application has been submitted, the applicant will be contacted with information on next steps. We are unable to book adoption appointments unless an online application has been submitted. Please note that we are receiving high numbers of adoption applications at present.
Do you know the costs we cover to prepare our animals for adoption? Here's a list to give you an idea:
- Desexing (starts from $91)
- Microchipping ($39)
- Vaccinations (starts from $83)
- Vet checks ($65)
- Other health care costs that may include dental care ($250), x-rays (up to $500) and even surgery (potentially $1000's)
Our
adoption fees are well under our animals' treatment and care costs, costs that we will not recover, but we want to do all we can to find every one of these beautiful creatures a forever home. Any
contribution great or small will help us ensure many more animals get the happy ending they deserve.
and Peninsula adoption centres are now open until 7.30pm every Wednesday and Thursday until mid-March 2015. Support our work
Did you know that RSPCA adoptions receive no government funding? As a not-for-profit organisation, the RSPCA relies on the generous Victorian community to help us care for 'all creatures great and small'. Please donate today. All donations over $2 are tax deductable.
