Finding loving homes and giving pets a second chance.
Located in Orange, the Central West Shelter offers a wide range of volunteering opportunities, allowing community members to make a meaningful impact on the lives of animals in need. Our shelter team also supports a network of foster carers, who provide essential care and love to animals awaiting their forever homes.
In addition to facilitating adoptions, our dedicated staff and volunteers provide vital human and animal support. These include microchipping services, advice, and ongoing support, making the shelter a vital resource for people and pets in need of assistance. The Central West Shelter also boasts a small pet retail shop, ensuring families can access supplies and essential pet care products.

Our Central West Shelter currently only has the capacity to take in injured strays. If you find an uninjured stray animal, please refer to the Orange City Council Pound.
Working tirelessly to rehome the animals that turn to our shelters for help, our shelter team facilitations adoptions for a range of animal types. If you’re interested in finding the animal of your dreams, consider contacting our staff at (02) 6362 6171.
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 the shelter.
If you’re planning on visiting the Central West Shelter to adopt, don’t forget to bring a valid photographic identity document bearing your name and current address. If you already have a dog, you may need to join you when you make your way to the shelter to ensure your canine companion gets along with your newest furry friend.
RSPCA NSW rehomes a range of different animals, from dogs, cats, and birds to horses, rabbits, and sheep! We believe that all creatures, great and small, can bring joy to our families and homes. Begin your adoption journey today and make an adorable lifelong friend!
By providing temporary homes for our animals, we can ensure they get the care they need until they are ready to be adopted. Join our network of foster carers for an incredibly rewarding experience; with your help, we can change the lives of some of the state’s most vulnerable animals.
We rely on our generous supporters to continue assisting the thousands of animals turning to RSPCA NSW for help. No matter how small your contribution, every gift makes a lifesaving difference for animals in need.
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 becoming an RSPCA NSW volunteer today!
