Meet Luna, an incredibly sweet girl with a heart full of love just waiting to blossom in the right home. While Luna began her journey with us feeling timid and a bit nervous, especially around men, her remarkable progress in the care of her foster families is a testament to her resilience and potential. She has overcome significant challenges and blossomed into a more confident canine with each passing day.
Luna's gentle and loving nature shines through once trust is established, which rarely takes more than just a few days. She adores the companionship of other dogs and thrives alongside a furry friend who can act as a mentor and playmate. Her playful spirit and tiny stature—though she may be two years old, she resembles an adorable six-month-old puppy—are sure to endear her to a new family. Her breed is registered as a Staffy and Kelpie cross, but her appearance suggests there might be a bit of cheeky Jack Russell in there, too!
More than anything, Luna is yearning for a home with those who can offer her love, patience, and an easy-going canine sibling to help her continue building her self-confidence. Her sweet demeanour and gentle spirit make her a delightful companion for someone looking for a tender-hearted and devoted fur friend. Embrace Luna into your life, and you'll experience the joy of watching a once timid pup transform into a loving and spirited member of your family.

Common questions about adopting a pet
Start by using one of these links to browse our lists of pets available for adoption:
When you find a pet you like, click the button on its profile page to fill in a form and register your interest in adopting. You can also call us on (02) 4227 7111 during business hours (Monday – Friday, 9am - 5pm).
We’ll then ask you a few follow-up questions to check that you’re a responsible pet owner and make sure that your chosen pet best meets your needs.
We’ll also invite you to meet your future pet in person to make sure you’re a perfect match, before finalising the adoption.
The only types of pets we offer for adoption are:
The cost to adopt will vary depending on how long the animal has been waiting for a home. Generally costs will be:
- Between $50 - $200 for a cat
- Between $75 - $300 for a dog.
Like all Council fees and charges, these costs will be reviewed each year. Any changes will be publicly exhibited for comment before they are adopted by Council.
Yes you can!
When you let us know you're interested to adopt a cat or adopt a dog, we'll contact you and arrange a meet and greet so you can say hello and decide if they’re the one for you.
Our dogs and cats are boarded at a number of regional kennelling facilities contracted by Council. These are currently located across Wollongong, Gerringong and Nowra. You can't directly visit these facilities, but we'll bring the dog or cat to a location in our area that works for you.
Being a pet owner is a big responsibility.
To adopt a pet from Council:
- You must be over 18 years old
- You don't have to live in the Illawarra, but you will need to be able to transport your pet home.
Before adopting a new pet, consider your lifestyle and living arrangements.
If you have any questions or concerns, our team is happy to talk to you about your situation. Please email us or call (02) 4227 7111 to arrange a discussion.
We recognise the serious issue of baiting within the animal rehoming industry. To help prevent this, we have an assessment process in place for potential owners.
Potential owners are vetted to make sure that they’re suitable and committed to animal well-being.
