Petbarn is proud to launch its Adoption Community where parents or soon to be pet parents can share and have honest conversations about rescue pets and adoption. Did you adopt from Petbarn?
Join our communityWe had recently lost our beloved 17 year old cat and we were missing him terribly. As soon as we laid eyes on Ollie (formally Coconut) we knew he was the right cat for our family.
Because we were looking for a friend for our dog, we looked at buying a puppy but didn’t want to go through puppy stage again so we went the local shelter and PetBarn Dubbo and looked around. We found Percy and decided to adopt him.
A big thank you to the friendly and helpful Petbarn staff that gave me advice on the day of the adoption and the ongoing advice and care.
My daughter wanted a dog for her birthday and as we had adopted before she wanted to adopt a dog from Petbarn.
I met Finn, then Figaro, a tuxedo domestic mix cat. I played with him through his little pen and felt a profound connection, one I’d never felt before. I’d never had a pet before and at the time my family wasn’t receptive, thankfully my birthday was coming up. After much convincing, two days later I went back and adopted Finn. Best decision and money I ever spent.
My partner Jack and I were looking for a special furry friend, and Lucifer was the first cat we got to go and meet. We instantly fell in love, and he brings so much joy to our family!
I was in Petbarn buying dog food and I walked past Loki. He was meowing so I walked over. He was so playful and every time I tried to leave he would meow for me to come back. He chose me!
I wanted a friend for my other RSPCA rescue and as soon as I saw pancakes I fell in love with her. She is so different to my other cat but so quirky and they are now the best of friends.
At Petbarn, we believe that all pets deserve the chance to have a happy and healthy life with a loving family. That’s why we don’t sell dogs and cats in our stores, but partner with animal shelters to rehome pets in our Adoption Centres.
At any given moment, there are thousands of lovable pets in animal shelters across Australia waiting for a new home. Petbarn is passionate about sharing the joy of pet companionship so through the Petbarn Foundation, we partner with these shelters to make sure these pets are welcomed into families to receive the love and care they deserve.
The companion animals that you see in our adoption centres, including kittens, cats, puppies, dogs, rabbits, mice, rats or guinea pigs are not sold for profit. These are rescue pets which means that if you adopt a pet from a Petbarn Adoption Centre which are located in selected Petbarn stores, 100% of the adoption fee is returned to our adoption partners.
Australia is a nation of pet lovers with more than two thirds of households owning a pet. Sadly, those homes aren’t always forever with hundreds of thousands of unwanted pets being surrendered to animals shelters every year. Petbarn are actively involved in raising awareness for pet adoption. Since opening our first Petbarn Adoption Centre in 2012, we have helped re-homed thousands of rescue dogs, cats, puppies, kittens and rabbits on behalf of our partner animal shelters whom we partner with closely.
Our adoption partner assess the pet’s suitability for rehoming. All adoption pets have undergone a comprehensive vet check and been de-sexed. In all cases dogs and cats are micro chipped, treated for internal and external parasites (such as worms and fleas), and had their initial vaccination and dogs are also treated for heartworm.
Our partners bring their shelter animals to Petbarn where they will stay in purposely built and installed enclosures while waiting to be rehomed. All Petbarn enclosures are built at our cost and have designed in collaboration with the RSPCA to ensure the well being and safety of the pet during their short stay with us.
Dedicated Petbarn staff personally care for all adoption pets. While being cared for in Petbarn Adoption Centres, staff see to all the pets needs including feeding and checking the health and wellbeing throughout the day. Dedicated staff from the adoption partner also ensure the pet is cared for during their stay.
When a prospective pet parent shows interest in adopting one our adoption pets, a Petbarn team member will spend time explaining the adoption process and ensuring there is a good connection and responsible intention between them and the pet. In the best interest of the pet, no pet is adopted until a thorough interview is conducted with the potential pet parent in line with our adoption partner procedures.
The fee of adopting a pet will vary and is set by our adoption partners which is paid by anyone adopting a pet. The adoption fee is collected by Petbarn and passed directly onto the adoption partner. 100% of the adoption fees are returned to the adoption partner. Petbarn does not profit from adoption fees. Petbarn is proud to provide food, housing and dedicated staff to caring for the adoption animals while in staying in Petbarn Adoption Centres.
Petbarn provide instore adoption shelters to make rescue pets more accessible to the public to help them find a loving home.
