By adopting or fostering an animal from a shelter, not only will you be able to enjoy their companionship, you are also giving them a second chance in life.
Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (better known as the RSPCA), says around 30,000 animals enter their NSW shelter alone every year, with cats being the highest at 15,000, followed by dogs at 10,000.
Other animals include livestock such as horses, pigs, roosters, as well as rabbits, birds, and fish.
At the RSPCA, like most pet rescue organisations, the animals are medically and behaviourally assessed, vaccinated, microchipped and desexed before they are put up for adoption at a low fee.
