The Greater Shepparton City Council Animal Shelter currently has over 20 cats and kittens and eight dogs looking for a home.
This summer the GSCC Animal Shelter has cared for lots of animals including dogs, cats, kittens and rabbits. To assist in raising awareness about pet adoption and encourage people to consider adopting a pet from the Animal Shelter, PETstock currently care for some of the Shelter’s kittens and rabbits at their store in Benalla Road, Shepparton.
Residents have the opportunity to visit either the Animal Shelter or PETstock to learn about the process and benefits of adopting a shelter animal, as well as meet animals looking for a new forever home.
Greater Shepparton City Council Manager Citizens Services, Laurienne Winbanks said it was important to ensure that the animal’s new home will be forever.
“Animal Shelter and PETstock staff focus on matching the right animal with the right home,” she said.
“Experienced staff are available to offer assistance and guidance to anyone interested in adopting a shelter pet. Adopting an animal from the Shepparton Animal Shelter is a rewarding experience that will last a lifetime.”
The price to adopt an animal is $100 for cats and kittens and $150-$305 for dogs. All animals that adopted from the Shepparton Animal Shelter are vet checked, vaccinated, micro chipped and de-sexed.
Animals available for adoption can be viewed by visiting the Shepparton Animal Shelter at 125 Wanganui Road, Shepparton between 8:30am- 4:30pm Monday to Friday, or by visiting PETStock in Benalla Road Shepparton.
