Why should you adopt a dog from an animal shelter?

By adopting a dog or puppy from a animal shelter like The Lost Dogs’ Home, you are giving an animal in need a much deserved second chance. This is a very positive thing to do and you will be rewarded with a loving and loyal companion. All canines have been temperament tested, are vet checked, vaccinated, wormed, microchipped and desexed – those adopted from our North Melbourne shelter also come with a free Planet K9, Post Adoption Training Session (PATs) and our staff are there to offer advice and support.
