Are you looking for a furry friend to join your family? Have you set your heart on a particular designer breed? Maybe you should think again about pedigrees. And if you are looking to adopt, here are some Cronulla pet rescue sites.
Did you know researchers at Eötvös Loránd University in Budapest, revealed that a dog’s environment influenced their aggression levels and overall behaviour more than their breed’s reputation? Each dog is a sentient being and although they may be a textbook example of their breed, they could be the polar opposite!
Yes, your designer Cavoodle could inflict as much damage as a 5-year-old rescue Staffy!

Sutherland Shire Animal Shelter
This local, low-kill shelter houses dogs and cats that have been found stray or abandoned, or were seized. If animals cannot be returned to their owners, the shelter seeks new homes for them. Prior to rehoming, dogs and cats are desexed, lifetime registered, vaccinated and microchipped. The shelter has a wide range of dogs and cats for sale, including puppies and kittens, as well as mature pets. All are temperament tested prior to being put up for adoption.
