Whether you are looking to adopt or already caring for a pet, you can always reach out to our teams for guidance and support.
By choosing to adopt your very own Rescuoodle, you can embark on a rewarding journey with the animal of your dreams! Building a new home with your pet can be an unforgettable process, filled with new sights, sounds, and experiences for humans and animals alike.
As you and your new animal companion embark on your new life together, remember you’re taking your very first steps on a one-of-a-kind experience. Feeling uncertain or having lots of questions is a normal part of the journey, as every pet-guardian relationship has its own unique challenges and bumps in the road.
That’s why RSPCA NSW stands by our adopters! Our dedicated team is ready to support you with a wealth of advice and guidance. Whether it’s behavioural tips, health concerns, or simply reassurance, we’re here to ensure that you and your Rescuoodle thrive together in your new home.
RSPCA NSW embraces love for all living beings: we believe that every creature has the capacity to bring light to people’s lives.
Our Rescuoodles are a brand-new breed comprised entirely of rescue animals! Though they come all
colours, shapes, and sizes, something sets them apart from other breeds: an irreplaceable personality that you will cherish for the rest of your life.
We invented the term ‘Rescuoodles’ to spotlight the animals waiting for a home by reclaiming the ‘oodle’ name (commonly associated with prestigious poodle crossbreeds) and playfully highlighting all the reasons people should adopt a rescue animal.
No matter their background, rescue animals are a source of immeasurable joy; their potential to be lifelong companions makes them a breed unto themselves.
RSPCA NSW rehomes a range of adorable animals, including cats, dogs, birds, rabbits, guinea pigs, and more! We can help you find your perfect dog at one of our shelters and adoption centres. You can also adopt some of our animals from over 30 Petbarn stores.
When you’re ready to adopt, don’t forget that you’ll be required to present a photographic identity document, complete with your name and current address. If you already have a dog, you may need bring them in for a meet and greet to ensure they’ll get along with the newest member of the family.
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.
After every canine or feline adoption, we promptly reach out to new pet parents to offer support via phone or email, offering advice, referrals to our teams, or access to additional helpful resources.
Whether we continue to follow up is entirely up to you, and whether you’d like us to keep checking
in to provide advice to help you and your new Rescuoodle.
Though we strive to ensure that new adopters feel supported when adjusting to life with their animal companions, our support channels are always open to any animal lovers in need of assistance. From general over-the-phone advice to referrals to our behaviour or veterinary teams, we have plenty of options available to new pet parents in need of support.
Every RSPCA NSW animal that requires desexing, microchipping, parasite treatment, and vaccinations undergoes all these procedures prior to adoption. Each animal also goes through a series of comprehensive veterinary checks along with any necessary training, quarantine, and rehabilitation.
As a charity, we use our adoption fees to help us recover a portion of these costs, so we can allocate more of our resources to supporting people and pets in need.
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 promises 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.
