Curtis

We run by appointment, prefferibly all members of the household to come meet the animal you are wanting to adopt.
If you own another dog, you must bring them along to make sure all dogs get along.

As our goal is to adopt animals out from the shelter into loving homes as fast as possible, multiple bookings may be made for the same animal.

We are not able to hold any animals for any reason.
As such, there is a possibility that the animal you may have found a forever home before your appointment. If this is the case we will inform you by phone call as soon as possible.

Appointment Hours:

Mon- Fri
1:00PM- 4PM

Saturdays for August
Sat 9th 9:00am- 12:00pm
Sat 23rd 9:00am-12:00pm

Please give the shelter a call on 5334 2075 or email animalshelter@ballarat.vic.gov.au for more information about the animal and our adoption procedures.

Apologies if we do not reply to your enquiry, we are a busy Shelter and get pulled away from the office often.
We appreciate you wanting to adopt! Please do not let this discourage you from adopting in the future!
