Meet Tank, the super sweet and charming boy who will instantly win your heart with his lovely nature and gentle disposition. Tank is a handsome, friendly pup who thrives on human interaction and is always ready to offer a wagging tail and a warm gaze. He's the ideal companion for those who value loyalty, affection, and the joy a four-legged friend brings into your life. Always looking for a new friend, Tank is a warm and happy dog who makes new friends wherever he goes.
Tank can be slightly socially selective with other dogs, but with proper introductions and a bit of time, he finds his groove and gets along well with those that suit his calm temperament. He would do well in a household where he can be the primary focus, basking in the love and attention of his people, or with experienced owners who can put in the work to ensure to ensure his transition into his new home is a success.
Adopting Tank means welcoming an affectionate and delightful canine companion into your world. He'll be delighted to be part of your life's adventures, from relaxed strolls in the neighbourhood to cozy nights on the couch. With Tank by your side, you'll experience the joy of a true friend whose sweet nature makes every day brighter.

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.
