Animal shelter is at capacity

The Sutherland Shire Council’s animal shelter operates in partnership with the City of Sydney. Cats and dogs that have been picked up by City of Sydney rangers are taken to our partner shelter.

Like many shelters across Sydney, our shelter is at capacity. There are so many beautiful animals waiting for new homes and families. Your new best friend might just be waiting for you. View dogs and cats available for adoption.
