Adorable pooches are looking for their forever home.
Arcadia Estate’s Adopt a Dog Day, held in conjunction with rescue group Pets Haven, is on again this Sunday 4 March.
Offering locals the chance to adopt their forever friend, the event aims to promote adoption and the importance of desexing and microchipping.
Pets Haven spokesperson Jodie Butler said there was overpopulation of dogs in local pounds and animal shelters in need of a home.
Adoption should be a person’s first point of call, she said.
“With adoption, you’re actually rescuing three dogs – one from going the pound, which frees up a shelter and a foster carer,” Pets Haven spokesperson Jodie Butler said.
“Foster parents get a fantastic member of the family for the rest of their life.”
This is the second year the community event will run and this year’s event involves free consults with a local vet as well as dog grooming and walking services.
There will also plenty of food and free entertainment during the adoption session, which will take place from 1.30pm to 4.30pm at Arcadia Estate 10 Accord Ave, Officer.
All dogs available for purchase are desexed and are microchipped and come with a full vet check.
