Meet Zeze, the sweet-natured canine companion who will steal your heart with her affectionate nature. With her irresistible charm and tail that rarely stops wagging, Zeze has been a joyful presence in her foster home since early June. She has a soft side for human company and loves nothing more than to follow you around, eager to offer her unending love and companionship.
Zeze is a wonderful walking buddy! She's already great on the lead, making her a delight to take on strolls through the neighbourhood or a leisurely walk in the park. Her innate trainability promises a bright future with easy-going adaptability in a new environment. Zeze has formed a special bond with the resident Golden Retriever in her foster home, showing her friendly, sociable side.
Zeze relishes playtime with her furry companions and is growing increasingly comfortable taking treats directly from your hand. Initially unsure, she now eagerly anticipates each treat, her trust blossoming each day. She thrives in a home where treats, playful moments, and cuddles abound.
The ideal family for Zeze would embrace her affectionate nature and active disposition, providing her with the love and attention she so readily returns. If you seek a loving, devoted canine companion who will fill your days with joy and affection, Zeze is waiting to be a cherished member of your family.

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.
