Dog Adoption Redland City

Redland City covers the bayside suburbs around Cleveland, Capalaba, Victoria Point and Alexandra Hills, plus the Moreton Bay islands. The main Brisbane rescues are a drive away rather than in town, so this page saves Redlands adopters the trip through several websites by collecting adoptable dogs from Animal Welfare League Queensland, RSPCA Queensland and Animals in Need Brisbane in one list.

Animal Welfare League Queensland's Willawong centre on Brisbane's south side is one of the nearer options, and RSPCA Queensland's Brisbane Animal Care Campus is at Wacol. Animals in Need Brisbane keeps its dogs in foster homes across greater Brisbane, which means a carer can describe how the dog handles kids, cats and everyday noise. Adult dogs usually cost about $400 to $450 and puppies around $650, with desexing, vaccination and microchipping normally included.

Redland City Council requires dogs to be registered at 12 weeks of age, and new residents have 14 days to register or transfer. The council runs off-leash areas around the mainland, and some island beaches have seasonal rules: Coochiemudlo Island's Main Beach and Russell Island's Lions Boulevarde Park change between on-leash and off-leash through the year to protect migratory birds. The bayside bushland is paralysis tick country, so set up year-round tick prevention with your vet.
