For purebred dogs, you can find reputable breeders through organizations like Dogs Australia or RightPaw. Before getting a pet, consider the commitment, costs, and time required for care, and check your lifestyle. Adopting from a Shelter Why adopt? Shelters like the RSPCA and PetRescue have thousands of animals needing homes, and adopting is often a cheaper option. How to search: Visit the RSPCA Adopt A Pet website or PetRescue to see animals available for adoption in your state. What to expect: Most shelter animals are health and behavior assessed, and dogs and cats are desexed, microchipped, and vaccinated. Buying from a Breeder For purebred dogs: Contact the relevant breed club or use the search on the Dogs Australia website to find an accredited breeder. Other platforms: Websites like RightPaw also connect you with responsible dog breeders. Visit breeders: Visit multiple breeders to gather information and ensure they are responsible. Before You Buy Consider your needs: Think about the time you can dedicate to training and exercise, the available space, and the ongoing costs of food, toys, and vet bills. Research different pets: Consider what type of animal, such as a cat, dog, bird, or fish, is right for your family
