Intro

In order to be deemed suitable for our rehoming program all animals must meet minimal behaviour and medical criteria before rehomed. Our team members will need to spend some time with you asking questions about our pet so we can best determine any rehoming options. Should for some reason your pet not pass these assessments then BARC may seek alternative options with regards to rehoming through other welfare organisations. If your pet is deemed not suitable for rehoming, euthanasia may be considered.

Please fill out this form to the best of your ability. Your answers will help us to get to know the animal and give us important background information to allow us to place the animal in a new home that is most suited to their individual needs.

If your animal has current Council registration surrendering your pet to us is free of charge. Should your animal not be registered with Council, a payment to contribute to the cost of managing your pet may be requested but it not compulsory.
