Bathurst Regional Council

Many of Bathurst Animal Rehoming Centres (BARC) unclaimed animals are made available for adoption. All animals undergo basic behaviour assessment, are vet checked, vaccinated, wormed, microchipped and registered.

🐾 Adoption Fees 🐾

Dog adoption fee for a desexed dog (includes vaccination, worming and microchipping): $500.00 Registration is $0 for a dog which is desexed and adopted from a Shelter. Mature dogs over the age of 7 years (includes vaccination, worming and microchipping): $250.00
