Welcome to the Armidale Companion Animal Shelter Website

On this website, you will find the faces and details of animals who are currently in need of a safe and loving home. Some of these animals have been surrendered, others found lost or having been abandoned. Now they are seeking a person, couple, or family who would like to enrich their lives and learn from our wonderful animal companions.

The Companion Animal Shelter often has both dogs and cats available who are looking for a loving home. Please watch this website for regular updates and photos of your future best friend. For details regarding registration fees, microchiping, and equipment sales and hire, please visit the Armidale Dumaresq Council website at : http://www.armidale.nsw.gov.au/council/128842/1064.html

Every effort is undertaken to place animals with suitable forever homes but it is necessary at times to make the decision that placement is not responsible or may refuse an adoption that is not in the best interest of the animal.

Enquiries can be forwarded to Phill Evans via the following:

Sally


SALLY HAS FOUND A NEW HOME HERE IN ARMIDALE 

Sally - medium female mixed breed dog

Sally came to the shelter as a stray after being found wandering. She hasn't been reclaimed and so is looking for a fresh start with someone who knows when they are onto a good thing. Sally is a very submissive but happy and outgoing girl. She just feels the need to show everyone that she is not a threat.
A family dog at heart, she is wonderful with children and other dogs. Come see her for yourself, your sure to be impressed.




Kelli


KELLI HAS FOUND A PET HOME IN CONOBOLIS, NEAR ORANGE. GOOD LUCK KELLI!

Kelli - medium female australian kelpie dog

Kelli is looking for a fresh start. She may have been a working dog or may not have had enough drive to make it to the top, either way she is here and will make someone a super pet. She is quite shy at first (as are many working types) but is happy to be alone, is well mannered, easy to care for and low maintenance. It is difficult to recommend working breeds as pets at times but Kelli is an exception, she could easily make the transition.



Jacko

Patrick - Pat - Paddy


UPDATE 15 May 2012 -  PADDY HAS BEEN ADOPTED!! 

AFTER  MAKING THE DECISION TO WITHDRAW RANDY FROM THE WEBSITE DUE TO HIS MEDICAL ISSUES, PADDY FOUND HIS SAVIOURS. HIS NEW OWNERS WILL CARE FOR HIM AND TREAT HIS CONDITION AND THE SHELTER WILL PAY FOR TATTOOING OF HIS NOSE. IF YOU SHOULD MEET PADDY AROUND ARMIDALE MAKE SURE YOU GIVE THIS LUCKY LITTLE DOG A SPECIAL PAT.   

Patrick - small male maltese terrier type mixed breed dog

Patrick is a bundle of love. It's difficult to understand why anyone would not come looking for such a wonderful dog. He arrived at the shelter after he took up residence in someone else's home. Pat is 5yo so he is over his puppy stage behaviour, is not a yappy dog at all, and generally is an easy guy to have around.

Medical Notes updated 10 May 2012

Paddy has developed some worrying lesions on his nose. He was examined by our vet this morning who considers that his condition is likely to be pre cancerous. I am looking at treatment options for Paddy however it is likely that this condition may require long term treatment.



Destiny


DESTINY HAS NOW GONE INTO RSPCA CARE. YOU CAN MEET DESTINY BY CALLING 0412217364

Destiny - small female matlese terrier type mixed breed dog

Destiny came to us after the owner received a barking dog complaint. It transpired that she had been purchased as a pet for the owners physically handicapped daughter. As Destiny grew from a small puppy into a small dog she began to jump up, as small dogs frequently do, and this distressed the family so she was restrained on a chain at 7 months of age. Not surprisingly this Maltese puppy tried to attract the attention of her family the best way she new. Barking.
What Destiny needs now is either an owner who will bring her into the family and include her or a family with another dog so that she can have the social interaction that she craves.
My expectation is that if she gets this she will mature into a lovely dog.
