When you have selected a pet

You will be asked to complete an expression of interest form. Following a successful meet and greet with the animal, we can finalise the adoption paperwork and payment.

Desexing

Dogs and cats are booked into Council's contracted vet for the animal to be desexed typically the next business day. We will transport your new pet to our vet for desexing in the morning. The new owner is to collect the animal from the vets in the afternoon.

Purchasing a dog or cat requires careful consideration as it is a life changing commitment

There are many costs and responsibilities to consider with owning a dog or a cat, including micro-chipping and registration, maintaining animal health (worming, vaccination, regular exercise), providing secure and comfortable housing, and caring for your pet responsibly so it does not become a nuisance to neighbours.

Expression of interest form

Before adopting a new pet you may be asked to complete an expression of interest form, this may be done at the office counter with a staff member. The expression of interest form is not an adoption agreement and does not guarantee adoption of any animal at the Animal Care Facility.

The expression of interest form is designed to help staff to get to know potential adopters better and help make sure that the animal the you are interested in would be a suitable fit for your family.

The forms ask you a number of questions about your lifestyles as well as your expectations for your potential new pet. 

Please see Looking for a pet? to find more information regarding the adoption process at Campbelltown Animal Care Facility.
