Domestic Animal Services

We here at Domestic Animal Services in the ACT are an impounding facility for lost, surrendered and displaced dogs. Our main goal is to where possible reunite them with their owners but in the case that doesn't happen, we behaviourally assess all of the dogs in our care and place them up for adoption to ensure they go into the right forever home. We also work closely with rescue group for our dogs that might need a little more TLC out of the shelter environment before adoption can take place. We have homed a lot of our shelter dogs throughout Australia which creates opportunity for interstate adoptions to take place.

Adoption Policy: Strict

*The adoption fee covers the fee payable to Domestic Animal Services to release the dog. Additional fees include a registration fee ($62.00 or concession $23.35) and microchip fee ($25.85 to update microchip details or $46.80 if the dog was not microchipped when impounded). Sexually entire dogs must be desexed by a vet, fees will apply.
