Get your home prepped for your newest fluffer, pupper, doggo, kitteh and feathered friends… because the RSPCA are clearing the shelter this weekend!
Welcome to the $29 adoption weekend, where animals great and small, of all ages and species (100% tolerant and equal opportunity) will be up for a cut-rate adoption fee.
In South Australia alone, RSPCA has over 1,100 animals in its care and is urgently looking to rehome
200 animals ready for homes from Friday to Sunday this week.
Last year during a three-day Clear the Shelter promotion, RSPCA New South Wales adopted 90% of animals in their shelters available for adoption. This year the campaign has spread across the country, with South Australia, Queensland, Victoria, Darwin, Australian Capital Territory and New South Wales all participating in RSPCA’s biggest ever adoption drive.
Included in the $29 adoption fee is desexing, microchipping, vaccination and vet-checks.
Animals looking for forever homes include kittens, cats, dogs, rabbits, chickens and ducks. South Australia currently has nearly 200 animals available for adoption statewide, some having spent over 110 days in our care.
Normal adoption procedures apply including a one-on-one with prospective new adoptive parents to ensure all our animals go to great homes.
“After the recent success of our recent CatPacity event where 181 cats found homes and looking at adoption promotions in the past, we continue to monitor the results carefully and evidence shows that there is no higher return rate or negative impacts for the animal’s welfare.
“We find the majority of people are already looking at adopting a pet, and this special adoption drive helps them make that decision to head down to Lonsdale and adopt, not shop,” said Tim Charles, Head of Animal Operations at RSPCA South Australia.
RSPCA South Australia’s Clear the Shelter Adoption Campaign will run from Friday 23rd February until Sunday 25th February. Lonsdale will be open extended hours until 8pm on Friday and 3pm on Saturday and Sunday.
