Meet Loyal, a sweet and loving canine companion ready to bring joy to a new family. During her short-term foster care of just two weeks, Loyal quickly showed what a delightful addition she can be to any home.
Loyal has a gentle nature, being very non-reactive towards other dogs and exceptionally good with children, which makes her a perfect fit for families. While she just needs a touch of training like any young dog would, she's already toilet trained and will only do her business outside. On walks, Loyal demonstrates her excellent leash manners and is learning to walk consistently on the left side.
One of Loyal's favorite pastimes is playing with her toys, so be sure she's never low on them! When left alone, she tends to chew, so it's best to keep an eye on her while providing plenty of interactive toys to keep her occupied.
Loyal is looking for a loving home or foster carer where her cheerful personality will shine. Her new family will not only gain a loyal companion but also a loving friend who is eager to learn and grow with them.

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.
