We understand that sometimes situations occur, or life circumstances change, and you may find you can no longer take care of your pet. wat djerring Animal Facility is able to accept surrenders from residents of the City of Whittlesea, City of Darebin and Merri-bek City Council.
Due to the H5N1 avian influenza, the facility is not accepting surrendered birds and poultry (including chickens, ducks and roosters) and we encourage our community to follow expert advice from relevant authorities. Visit Agriculture Victoria for updates and more information.
