Adopt a pet

Dog doing the old 'puppy dog eyes trick' to win you over

If you are thinking about a new pet, why not adopt from Wat Djerring Animal Facility or a local rescue group.

There are many animals in Darebin that are in need of a loving home. Last year more than 1000 pets were collected by Darebin’s rangers with a number not returning to their home. If you are thinking about a new pet, why not adopt from Wat Djerring Animal Facility (previously known as Epping Animal Welfare Facility) or one of our local rescue groups. Wat Djerring Animal Facility is the animal pound for Darebin.

Can you foster a pet?

If you are thinking about a pet but are unsure if you can commit, why not become a foster carer. As a foster carer you could look after an abandoned or surrendered animal until permanent homes are found. Wat Djerring Animal Facility and our local rescue groups are always looking for foster carers.
