City of Newcastle Animal Management Facility

The City of Newcastle Animal Management Facility is a Council-operated facility dedicated to the welfare and rehoming of stray, surrendered and abandoned companion animals. Rehoming Number: R251000179 We strive to provide a safe and caring environment for all animals in our care. Our primary goal is to reunite lost pets with their owners. The team are passionate about educating the community on responsible pet ownership and providing support to the community and their pets. For pets not reclaimed during the legally required impound period, we work to rehome them into loving, forever homes. We are a small team so for adoptions or 'meet and greets' please visit our website to organise a time to attend the facility. https://newcastle.nsw.gov.au/living/pets-and-animals/lost-and-found/lost-pets-in-ranger-care/animal-rescue-enquiry

Adoption Policy: Moderate

The adoption fee for all animals is $75 + all veterinary costs which are determined once your animal is booked in for desexing and will be discussed with you at that time. We encourage potential adopters to meet specific animals. If you already have a dog and wish to adopt another, we require a 'Meet and Greet' session at the facility to ensure compatibility. Please contact us to make an appointment. All animals adopted from our facility come: • Desexed • Vaccinated • Microchipped • Vet-checked • Lifetime registered in NSW Please note that desexing (if required) is only performed after adoption, which may result in a delay in taking your new pet home, depending on vet availability. Staff will contact you once an appointment is booked, we kindly ask that you personally collect your new pet from the vet clinic to ensure they can begin their recovery comfortably in their new home. For enquiries or to meet or adopt, please visit our website https://newcastle.nsw.gov.au/living/pets-and-animals/lost-and-found/lost-pets-in-ranger-care/animal-rescue-enquiry. For foster enquiries we will refer to one of our rescue partners where processes and approvals are at their discretion, please enquire to discuss further. Please provide the impound number listed next to the animal's name when enquiring.
