The Sutherland Shire Council Animal Shelter, located in Taren Point, NSW, is one of Australia’s leading metropolitan animal welfare facilities.

Operating with a celebrated "low-kill" policy, the shelter prides itself on having one of the lowest euthanasia rates in the country. In a unique local government partnership, this shelter also provides pound and rehoming services for the City of Sydney Council, making it a primary destination for lost and abandoned pets from both the Sutherland Shire and Sydney's CBD.

Services offered

• Pet Adoption & Rehoming: A diverse range of dogs and cats (and occasionally livestock or small pets) available for adoption. All animals are temperament-tested to ensure a good match.
• Volunteer Program: A robust team of volunteers ensures that every animal is exercised, socialized, and groomed daily.
• Veterinary Preparation: Every animal adopted is desexed, vaccinated, microchipped, and lifetime registered on the NSW Pet Registry.
• Last Litter Program: A community service allowing owners to surrender a litter for rehoming in exchange for the mother being desexed for free.
• Lost and Found Support: The primary facility for reclaiming lost pets found within the Sutherland Shire and City of Sydney areas.
