Join our A.D.O.P.T campaign - Animals Depend On People Too - with the RSPCA and Animal Welfare League
MEET Cara, one of hundreds of animals in Adelaide's pet shelters looking for a new home and family to love. See videos, pictures and profiles of some of them here.
ANIMALS have their own individual personalities, just like the people who adopt them. By adopting from an animal shelter or rescue group, you can be assured that you are not inadvertently supporting cruel breeding practices. Working together, shelters and rescue groups can give animals a chance to find a loving home.
Butterf inger
Calling all personal trainers!!
Some may think I’m a bit on the ‘bigger’ size but that just means there’s more of me to love! I do love my food and in my previous home I put on a bit of extra weight that is slowing me down a bit.
With your help, I know that with regular exercise and a restricted diet I will be able to get my trim body back.Being a working breed, I am very smart! I do know basic training but I can be a bit lazy so please spend some time and get to know me to see if we could be the perfect training partners!
Butterfinger is desexed, micro-chipped, vaccinated and health checked.
Max and Zoe
My name is Max and this is my best friend Zoe. Finding a new home together is our dream.
Although I am deaf, you can communicate with me using hand signals, and there’s no mistaking a warm hug and unconditional love.
And there's no doubt we have lots of love to give to any human who can love and care for us.
I love going for walks and playing with other dogs, especially Zoe. She is really well-behaved, because she has a good role model - me!
If you have room in your heart for two friendly dogs who need a second chance please come and visit us. We’d love to meet you.
Impy
Thank you everyone, I've found a new home!
Tummy rubs and cuddles are all I ask for - that’s not too much for a girl to need, is it?
In return, you’ll get lots of love as I love being around people and having fun! I would love to be a part of a family who will be able to take me on regular walks and continue with my training – I already know how to sit, drop and roll!
I can get a bit excited when I first leave my pen but don’t be deterred because once I am settled and spend some time with you, my sweet and loveable disposition shines through.
If you would like to meet me, please have a chat to my friends in the Dog Adoption Team first.
I am desexed, micro-chipped, vaccinated and health checked - ready for you to take home today.
Boots
My name is Boots and I’m a single mum. Caring for my kittens is tiring sometimes but seeing my babies happy and healthy is so rewarding, as I’m sure any mum would appreciate!
I would love to find a new home with one of my kittens, so we can grow up together.
RSPCA South Australia’s No Mum Left Behind campaign means you can adopt one of my beautiful kittens, and take me home for free!
Two furry friends are better than one - and when you adopt the baby, you get the babysitter (me) free!
Isabelle
Thank you everyone, I've found a new home!
I judge people on the amount of pats they give… how many will you give me?
I love being around people and when I want a cuddle you’ll definitely know!
If you can offer me a safe, loving indoor home that would be perfect as I need to keep my delicate pink skin safe from the sun.
As soon as you enter my pen you won’t want to leave – I’m just too affectionate and will definitely persuade you to make me a part of your family.
I am desexed, micro-chipped, vaccinated and health checked.
You’ll hear my purrs from a distance so please come and meet me!
Congo
Greetings to you! My name in Congo and I'm happy to know someone as nice as you is reading my adoption profile.
Well, here are some things about me. I am a rather clever chap: I can sit, drop, and wait for food. I really enjoy being trained and learning new skills!
I have met lots of dogs here at the shelter and I love the company of other pooches, so I would be ideal if you already have a friendly dog in your home (but it's not essential).
I love getting outdoors so an active owner would be amazing!
If you think you could love me and give me a forever home, I will be forever loyal.
Evie
Thank you everyone, I've found a new home!
Gorgeous? Me? Thank you for noticing! Take me home and you’ll be able to admire my beauty all day long.
Some cats love to sleep all day, but why sleep when you can play?! I love playing with people and with enrichment toys.
Mind you, when I want a cuddle you will be so enamoured with me that you won’t be able to let go!
I will need regular brushing to help keep me looking like the princess I am, plus we will be able to spend some quality time together.
Please come and meet me and I’ll be able to show you what a gorgeous personality I have.
I'm desexed, micro-chipped, vaccinated and health checked ready for my new home.
Dallas
I'm Dallas and I really like your face, it's a happy friendly face!
I get so excited when my shelter humans take me on adventures like playing in the paddock and they've even said I would be really good at agility training.
I am a Border Collie cross so I have lots of energy and I would love for you to introduce me to other dogs so I can be friends with them too.
Even though I have lots of energy, I can be a little introverted sometimes, so I am happy to go on long walks with you and keep you company when you're exploring the great outdoors.
To me, the world's best things are cuddles, walks and toys!
Cara
Thank you everyone, I've found a new home!
Hello! My name is Cara and yep, you guessed it, I am a beautiful two-year-old Rottweiler cross.
I am an energetic girl who loves to play and have fun – especially with squeaky toys!
I’d love to be an important part of an active family who will love to include me in fun family activities and spend time with me.
As you can see in my video, I already know how to sit, but I would love to learn some other cool tricks! Will you teach me?
I love tummy rubs and cuddles and in return I will give you all the love you need! Plus I’m desexed, micro-chipped, vaccinated and health checked – pretty cool huh?!
If you would like to meet me, please have a chat to my friends in the Dog Adoption Team and they will help us to get to know each other better.
Ned
Adventures - let's have them together!
I love going on adventures with people like going to the park, or the beach, and playing ball.
I really love people and when I find my new family I am going to love them with all my heart and be loyal to them forever and ever.
If my new humans give me massages and belly rubs I think I would be in heaven, do you think I could find new owners that amazing? (I hope so!)
I am also a pro at solving puzzles to get treats, like getting yummy things out of my kong toy.
Playing with my toys makes me wag my tail lots and makes me really happy.
