Meet Lacey, an energetic and happy dog who's looking for a new family to call her own. With her spirited personality and joyful demeanour, Lacey lights up any room she enters. She's full of life and eager for new adventures with a family who shares her zest for being active and having new experiences. Her bubbly nature makes her a delightful companion to those who are experienced dog owners and understand the needs of an energetic pup.
Lacey is excitable and would thrive in a home with experienced owners who can invest the time and energy into training her. She's intelligent and eager to please, and with the right guidance, Lacey is sure to excel in learning new skills and commands. Her spirited nature means she's always ready to play and explore, making her an ideal match for someone who leads an active lifestyle.
While Lacey is a social butterfly with her human friends, she's dog-reactive, so she would be best suited to a home where she's the only pet. This way, she can enjoy all your love and attention, while you can enjoy her company without any interruptions. If you’re an experienced dog owner with the time and dedication to give to this lovable and vivacious pup, Lacey may be the perfect addition to 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.
