Many of the animals that come to RSPCA shelters are there because their owners can no longer look after them. There are a number of reasons why animals offered for adoption by the RSPCA make wonderful pets.

All RSPCA animals:

• are expertly checked by a veterinarian and temperament tested
• are microchipped and desexed where relevant
• come in different shapes and sizes, including pure breeds and mixed breeds
• have been given love and attention while at the shelter from dedicated, caring RPSCA volunteers.

Most importantly, when you adopt a pet from the RSPCA you are not only giving an animal the chance at a new life, you’re supporting the continuing efforts of the RSPCA to care for all animals throughout Australia.
