Why you should adopt, not shop

Adopting a pet from a reputable rescue organisation (ahem, such as RSPCA NSW) is one of the most ethical and cost-effective ways to grow your fur-family. Below, we’ve outlined a few reasons why adoption is the best way to get a new pet.

It’s easier

When you adopt an animal from RSPCA NSW, they come desexed and microchipped (depending on the species), with up-to-date vaccinations, flea and worming treatment. That means you won’t have to spend time organising these things yourself!

No more pesky research

Finding a breeder who does their due diligence and adheres to breeding codes can take a lot of time and effort. If you adopt an animal from us or another rescue organisation, you know what you’re signing up for. From the get-go, you can sleep easy knowing you’re getting a pet from an ethical place that treats their animals as they should be treated—like royalty!

It makes a difference

You’ll be giving a second chance to an animal who hasn’t had the easiest start in life. That’s a genuinely kind and thoughtful thing to do—and we’re sure you’ll get the warm and fuzzies as soon as you see your pet so happy in their new home.

It helps solve a problem

There are far too many animals without homes in our state. Taking in a previously unwanted or neglected animal helps solve the big problem of pet overpopulation—making this world a better place for the animals we all love so much.
