The Sydney Adoption Centre provides housing, shelter, and veterinary care for abandoned, sick, injured, neglected, and surrendered animals. It also supports volunteering, foster care, retail pet supplies, and on‑site veterinary hospital services, offering treatments from routine desexing to orthopaedic procedures.
Our Sydney Adoption Centre currently only has the capacity to take in injured strays. If you find an uninjured stray animal, please refer to your local council pound.
The Sydney Adoption Centre rehomes a range of adorable animals, including cats and kittens, birds, dogs and puppies, rabbits, and more! If you’re interested in meeting one of the animals awaiting adoption, come visit the centre or contact our staff at (02) 9770 7577.
Please note that although we update our online lists of available animals every day, there is a chance that an animal you are interested in will have found a home prior to your arrival at our facilities.
If you’re planning on visiting the shelter to adopt, don’t forget to bring a photographic identity document complete with your name and current address. If you already have a dog at home, you may need bring them in for a meet and greet to ensure they’ll get along with your newest furry friend.
Every RSPCA NSW animal that requires desexing, microchipping, parasite treatment, and vaccinations undergoes all these procedures prior to adoption. Each animal also goes through a series of comprehensive veterinary checks along with any necessary training, quarantine, and rehabilitation.
As a charity, we use our adoption fees to help cover a portion of these costs, so we can allocate more of our resources to supporting people and pets in need.
The Sydney Adoption Centre is located at 201 Rookwood Rd, Yagoona NSW 2199, and is the largest animal shelter in NSW
