Our shelters offer accommodation and care for abandoned, neglected, sick and surrendered animals.

Coffs Harbour Shelter

Please note: RSPCA NSW shelters are unable to accept surrendered or stray felines for the next 30 days due to vaccine supply shortage – For more information, click here.

Our Coffs Harbour Shelter provides care and shelter to abandoned, injured, neglected and sick animals. Animals arriving at shelters come from a variety of sources, including those:

  • handed in as an injured or sick stray
  • seized by an inspector under the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act 1979
  • surrendered by an owner

The shelter promotes, supports and facilitates animal adoptions, it also runs one-on-one dog training sessions for pet owners.  The team also trains rehabilitated dogs from rescue groups and other shelters, and prepares them for adoption.

All animals suitable for adoption can be found here.

Shelter FAQs

Our shelters do not have the means to accept uninjured stray animals. If you find an uninjured stray animal, you will be referred to your local council pound.

You can see all animals available for adoption here.

Animals available for adoption have undergone a comprehensive veterinary check and have undergone any other veterinary treatment and rehabilitation necessary. The adoption fee helps cover part of these costs and allows RSPCA NSW to continue caring for animals in need.
