About the organisation
Sydney Dogs and Cats Home is a council pound and Not-for-profit community facility. The home has been taking care of Sydney’s lost and abandoned animals since 1946.
Excitedly we are moving to a new location. Throughout this time of change, our work will continue as it always has, caring for animals and reuniting or rehoming them will remain our first priority.
We are embarking on the biggest campaign in our history to raise the funds for the move.
We will be creating a Home with more space; new kennels and exercise yards for our dogs, and a purrfect cattery for our feline friends. We plan on creating a best practice facility that our communities will be proud of.
