Free registration for adopted rescue pets
Wagga Wagga City Council’s Glenfield Road Animal Shelter is part of a state-wide initiative which aims to increase adoption of rescue dogs and cats by making their registration free.
The NSW Government introduced free lifetime pet registration for people who adopt a rescue dog or cat from council pounds, animal shelters and rehoming organisations, effective from 1 July 2021.
It is envisaged it will encourage prospective pet owners to ‘adopt not shop’ for a dog or cat, easing the burden on council pounds and animal shelters.
Glenfield Road Animal Shelter Animal Welfare Supervisor Julie McPhail said the decision has been welcomed by prospective adopters.
Date Time
‘Adopt don’t shop’ for a pet this Christmas
Christmas is just around the corner and Wagga Wagga City Council has a message for the local community – ‘adopt not shop’ if they are thinking about getting a new pet this holiday season.
The Glenfield Road Animal Shelter currently has several cats and dogs available to become your new furry family member through adoption.
Animal Welfare Supervisor Julie McPhail said residents can give an animal a second chance at a forever home by choosing to adopt from a council animal shelter, RSPCA shelter or approved rehoming organisation.
“We’re just asking people to ‘adopt, don’t shop’. There are plenty of rescue cats and rescue dogs that are absolutely gorgeous and beautiful who are needing a new home,” Ms McPhail said.
