🐾 Meet the Handsome Hulk! 🐾

Young Hulk has been with us for over 320 days, at just 1 year old, that's almost all his life in a shelter. This lovable pup has grown up in the shelter, patiently waiting for his forever home and people.

Thanks to our amazing supporters, dogs like Hulk have a safe, temporary home while they wait for their forever families. Your generosity transforms hurt into healing every day. ❤️

Hulk is seeking a patient and understanding person who can provide ongoing training and guidance. He’s still learning his manners around children and is best suited to a mature home. He loves running around with a toy in his mouth and would thrive in a home with an outdoor area for him to explore.

To help Hulk find his perfect match, we are waiving his adoption fee and offering 50% off a training package with our Behaviour & Training Support Officer to ensure he settles into his new family in the best way possible.

If you’re ready to open your heart and home to Hulk, click the link below to send an application today or send us a message to learn more and to give him the forever home he deserves! 🏡🐶

Newton came to Sydney Dogs & Cats Home as a scared solo kitten in January. He went into foster care but after a few days, Vanessa his foster carer noticed something was wrong with his back legs.

X-rays revealed some old injuries - a displaced femoral neck fracture and a slight fracture in his left hip. The cause of Newton's injury was unknown but it was suspected he fell from a height or was stepped on. 😢

The prognosis wasn't good for poor Newton, but the vet team decided to attempt surgery to see if it would make a difference and give him a chance.

Though the surgery was tough, Vanessa never left his side. Now, Newton is back on his paws and playing with his cat pals. With Vanessa, he can conquer anything! She has also decided to adopt him, so he gets to continue playing with his cat friends and spend his days with people who love him!

Thanks to the generosity of our amazing supporters, Newton found more than just medical care. He found a forever home filled with love and companionship.

But there are so many more pets just like Newton, facing uncertain futures and needing urgent help.

Your donation can transform their lives. While we've raised almost $50,000 so far, we still have a long way to go to reach our goal of $300,000 so we can help more pets in need

This winter, be the difference for vulnerable animals. Donate today and help us give them the love and care they deserve. 🐾

🐾 We're almost at $25,000! 🎉 Thank you to everyone who has donated so far.

But we still need your help to raise $300,000 by June 30th so we can help more pets like Benji who come through our doors each week. 🐶🐱

Many pets who find themselves at Sydney Dogs & Cats Home often need treatment and care as well as nutritious food, a warm bed and shelter. Your donation can make a difference to lost and unwanted pets this winter. ❄️🏠

Senior boy Benji came to us with a stomach bug due to Giardia, kidney issues, a heart murmur, and severe dental issues that were causing him pain and discomfort. It was because of the generosity and support from our community that we were able to transform Benji's hurt into healing. ❤️✨

After receiving treatment for his upset stomach, we stabilized his age-related kidney issues and he underwent two intensive surgeries to extract his teeth. Benji is now recovered and enjoying his time in a loving foster home while he waits for his forever home to spend his golden years. 🏡🐾

Your support will help even more lost and abandoned animals like Benji who desperately need urgent care. Can you help us reach our goal? 🙏

About Us

Sydney Dogs and Cats Home is Sydney’s only registered charity pound facility. The Home has been taking care of Sydney’s lost, abandoned and neglected pets since 1946. Servicing 8 councils in the Greater Sydney Area, we currently open our doors and hearts to more than 3,000 pets each year.

The first shelter in NSW to become a member of Getting 2 Zero, a movement which aims to achieve zero euthanasia of all healthy and treatable cats and dogs, Sydney Dogs and Cats Home doesn’t place a time limit on any animal awaiting adoption.
