How to adopt

Choosing the right pet is exciting!

Use the Adoptapet search to view the many wonderful pets waiting for adoption at RSPCA locations across Australia. All animals have been health and behaviour assessed by the RSPCA and are ready for their new homes. Dogs and cats are also desexed, microchipped and vaccinated to help give them the best possible fresh start.

By adopting from the RSPCA, not only are you giving a new home to an animal in need, but your support will help the RSPCA care for many more animals.
