Explore our shelters, veterinary hospitals, and support services across New South Wales
RSPCA NSW proudly operates five animal shelters, three veterinary hospitals, a behaviour and rehabilitation centre, and a cutting-edge education centre. These facilities provide housing, treatment, and compassionate care to thousands of animals every year.
Our mission involves more than simply providing shelter care; we offer extensive training and resources for animal lovers and their pets, nurturing communities that share our love for all creatures, great and small. Our teams work tirelessly to facilitate adoptions, comfort lost or vulnerable animals, and provide protection and medical care for those who have suffered cruelty or neglect.
In addition to our primary facilities, our organisation further consists of eighteen volunteer branches and supporter groups. We also are a Registered Training Organisation, helping to guide and educate individuals who are passionate about animal welfare.
Our partnership with Petbarn adoption centres further amplifies our reach, allowing us to give more animals the chance to find the loving forever families.
With the help of the collective efforts of our community, including our partners, staff, supporters, and volunteers, we strive to continue to make a positive impact on the lives of animals in need.
Our experienced veterinary team attends to privately-owned pets in addition to vulnerable shelter animals. Equipped with state-of-the-art facilities, our hospitals offer a comprehensive range of surgical expertise. From routine procedures, complex desexing to orthopaedic and soft tissue surgeries, our skilled veterinarians are here to ensure all animals are looked after. Any revenue generated by our clinics directly benefits animals in need, further contributing to the treatment of the animals in our care.
Our brand-new Education Centre serves as a hub for our supporters. By facilitating training and corporate opportunities for animal enthusiasts of any age, our centre encourages knowledge and respect for all creatures, great and small.
Thanks to our partnership with Petbarn, we can facilitate adoptions for more animals than ever before. By partnering with Petbarn Adoption Centres, located in more than 30 stores, we can increase our animals’ chances of finding loving forever homes.
By providing temporary homes for our animals, we can ensure they get the care they need until they are ready to be adopted. Joining our network of foster carers is an incredibly rewarding experience; with your help, we can change the lives of some of the state’s most vulnerable animals.
By raising funds and lending a hand to communities and their pets, our volunteers play a pivotal role in our work throughout NSW. If you have a genuine concern for animals and enjoy meeting like-minded people, consider lending a helping hand by becoming a volunteer today.
Any revenue made by our shelters, retail stores, and veterinary hospitals goes back to our organisation to be used to help animals in need. We use funds primarily to provide enrichment, nutrition, housing, and veterinary care for the animals who turn to our facilities for help.
We know that financial circumstances alone are not reflective a person’s capacity to love a companion animal, which is why we also allocate resources to keeping people and pets together. From outreach animal assistance to targeted human and animal support, we strive to ensure that factors such as a lack of affordable veterinary care don’t get in the way of the human and animal bond.
Our shelters, adoption centre, and behavioural and rehabilitation centre all support and facilitate animal adoptions. RSPCA NSW rehomes a range of adorable animals, including dogs, cats, horses, pocket pets, farm animals, and more! If you’re interested in meeting one of the animals currently available for adoption, locate your nearest RSPCA NSW facility or contact our staff or volunteers.
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.
We promise to uphold the highest ethical standards. Your personal information has never been, and never will be sold or traded to other charities. This is our promise to you.
We acknowledge the Traditional Owners of the lands on which we live and work. We recognise and respect the enduring relationship they have with their lands and waterways, and particularly acknowledge the vital role animals have played in Indigenous life, stories and culture for tens of thousands of years.
