Looking to adopt? Save a Pound pet! Looking for a dog or cat? Consider Cowra Council’s “Adopt a Pound Pet” Program which offers a great chance to offer a loving home to pets currently placed at the Cowra Pound.
“The program aims to reduce the euthanasia of dogs that are brought to the Pound with no identification; Pound animals that are adopted are micro-chipped by Council to reduce the cost of registration by the new owner,” Director — Environmental Services, Kate Alberry said. “Council also offers a trial period of two-weeks to ensure that the animal is well-suited to its new environment before the animal is registered,” Kate added. Contact Cowra Council on (02) 6340 2041 to find-out more!
