Mission Adoptable
February 20, 2025
Right now, almost 600 animals in Victorian shelters are looking for a new family to call their own. Across the state, animal shelters are on a mission to get as many of these animals as possible out of shelters and into their forever homes – welcome to Mission Adoptable!
For three days only, Friday 21 – Sunday 23 February, Geelong Animal Welfare Society, along with eight other shelters, are reducing adoption fees to help find forever homes for the nearly 600 animals currently available for adoption across the state.
By adding a new furry friend to your family, you’re helping us focus on caring for the animals who are not ready for adoption, in addition to making space for animals coming into our care at any given moment from the community.
Help us with our mission to get these animals out of the shelter and adopted into loving homes!
If you have been considering adopting a pet, now is the time.
Mission Adoptable at GAWS
$50 adoption fees – dogs, puppies, cats and kittens
Friday 21 – Sunday 23 February 2025
Opening hours:
Fri: 10am-4pm, Sat: 10am–3pm, Sun: 1pm-4pm
Tips:
It could be very busy at GAWS during the 3-day Mission Impossible adoption drive. Please be patient and mindful there could be some delays. For those visiting towards the end of the day, we encourage you to arrive at least one hour before close time, to give you plenty of time to meet your new best friend!
Due to the extreme heat expected on Saturday, we may need to close the shelter early to prioritise the animals’ welfare. For those interested in adopting on Saturday, we encourage you to come to GAWS early in the day, and BYO water!
If you are wanting to adopt a cat, please bring a cat carrier with you on the day.
