Dog Adoption Liverpool

Liverpool sits on the western bank of the Georges River in south-west Sydney, and the area covers a wide range of homes, from units near the city centre to large family houses in the newer estates further west. That range means there is a rescue dog for most households here, whether you want a small companion for a unit or an energetic dog for a big backyard.

Liverpool is well placed for the Sydney rescue network. RSPCA NSW's Sydney Adoption Centre is at Yagoona, a short drive east, and Animal Welfare League NSW's shelter is at Kemps Creek to the north-west. DCH Animal Adoptions has foster carers in suburbs including Wattle Grove, and Sydney Dogs and Cats Home at Strathfield South and Maggie's Rescue in the Inner West also rehome dogs to the area.

Before adoption day, check Liverpool City Council's website for its current off-leash areas and register your dog through the NSW Pet Registry once it is home. If you live close to the Georges River or its reserves, a reliable recall and a long lead make walks there much easier while a new dog is still settling in. Browse the dogs below and contact each rescue directly, and ask the foster carer plenty of questions before you meet.
