The Companion Animals Act specifies the minimum periods in which animals must be kept in our care before they can be rehomed to a new owner. This is to provide opportunity for existing animal owners to collect their animal.
Sometimes, there may be a delay in the collection of animals being adopted as rehoming groups are based outside Parkes and need to travel to pick them up. This means some animals may stay in our shelter a little longer than expected, but rest assured, they are being well cared for in the meantime.
