Our Story
Sutherland Shire Council Animal Shelter is a low kill animal shelter that houses stray dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, chickens, roosters and goats that are found in the Sutherland Shire Council and City of Sydney local government areas. We re-home all animals that are not reclaimed by their owners after the required holding time period, unless they are suffering due to an illness that can not be treated or are a danger to humans or animals. We work with reputable rescue groups when necessary to help all animals who come into our shelter to ensure they are given the care that they need.
The animals looking for new homes are housed at our animal shelter until they find their new home, with no time limit ever placed on their stay with us. We have a highly dedicated, passionate and caring team of staff and volunteers who love and care for the animals during their time with at the shelter, no matter how long or short.
