Adopt a pet
If you're ready to open your heart and home to an animal, consider adopting from GAWS and give a deserving animal a second chance.
Our adoption process
If you're interested in adopting a new furry or feathered family member, please visit the relevant species page and follow the application process. One of our friendly staff members will be in touch.
You can view all our animals available for adoption on our website. You are also welcome to visit GAWS and view the animals onsite along with a GAWS team member, although some animals available for adoption may be in our foster program. Our adoption process is an online process where you submit an expression of interest to adopt a particular animal. You may then be invited to meet an adoption officer who will commence the matching process on-site with you. If you see an animal while you are on site that you may be interested in adopting, please speak to an adoption officer who will assist you.

Adopt
Our main aim when an animal comes into our care is to prepare them for their new life in a forever home. Animals are checked over by a vet, vaccinated, desexed, microchipped and given any treatments they may need.
