Dog lovers will next month have the opportunity to bring home a friend for life at a reduced price with the launch of Blacktown City Council’s ‘Staffy September’ adoption drive at its Animal Rehoming Centre.
Staffordshire Terriers will be available for $100 each throughout September as part of the centre’s drive to find good homes for animals in need.
The adoption fee includes desexing, vaccination, microchipping, flea and worm treatment and lifetime registration.
A range of staffys are available from American to English and cross breeds. All have been cared for and deemed suitable for adoption by the centre’s expert staff, Council said in a statement.
A popular and playful breed that originated in Staffordshire in Great Britain, these dogs are intelligent, love people and make great pets, it said.
As part of Staffy September, free socialisation classes will be available each Saturday of the month at the centre at 20 Owen St, Glendenning.
Free microchipping is available for Blacktown City residents.
People thinking of adopting are encouraged to visit and discuss their needs with staff in a friendly, easy-going environment.
Photos of staffys and other pets available for adoption can be seen on the Facebook page: www.facebook.com/BARCBlacktown.
The Blacktown Animal Rehoming Centre (BARC) opened in 2023 and is a best practice care and education facility. Its team has cared for 1,777 animals in the past 12 months.
