Head down to Glenfield Road Animal Shelter this Saturday 19 November for a special open day. You can take a tour of the shelter and may even meet your new canine or feline companion.

The family and pet friendly event features fun activities for kids, a sausage sizzle, information stalls thanks to our local vets and lots more.

ADOPT DON’T SHOP: Wagga Wagga City Council’s Animal Welfare Office Courtney Krause and Animal Welfare Supervisor Julie McPhail with mastiff Jemma in the shelter’s new exercise yard.

Wagga Wagga City Council’s Animal Welfare Supervisor Julie McPhail said the team is thrilled to be hosting its first Open Day since 2016.

“We really hope that people will come along, see how wonderful the animals are, and perhaps consider giving someone a new home,” Ms McPhail said.

Visitors can expect to receive expert advice from Council’s professional animal rangers and rescue groups including RSPCA, SMART, Animal Welfare League NSW, Best Friends Pet Rescue and Fin, Furred N Feathered. Discounted microchipping for existing pets will also be offered.

Visit Glenfield Road Animal Shelter Open Day from 10am – 4pm today.
