Conditions for listing in
DOGS AVAILABLE BY DONATION
and
PRIVATELY SURRENDERED CATS
Every day HAR receives phone calls and emails from people asking us to take their dogs and cats into foster care and find them new homes. Some people are genuinely unable to keep their dog or cat due to financial hardship. Others may have ended up with an elderly relative's pet after they died or gone into care. However on many occasions their owners just want to be saved the expense, inconvenience or guilt of taking it to the Pound.
PLEASE NOTE WE CANNOT ACCEPT ADVERTS FOR DOGS OR CATS UNLESS THEY HAVE BEEN DESEXED AND MICROCHIPPED PRIOR TO REHOMING.
If the animal in question has not had the standard vet work completed HAR may be able to assist in arranging for the work to be done, vet work however will be at the owners expense but you are free to advertise a donation amount that will reimburse you for the expenses. The Companion Animal Act requires that cats and dogs be microchipped before rehoming and it is the responsibility of the advertiser to ensure this is complied with.
Please do not contact us telling us you are moving into a unit in 2 or 3 weeks time (or moving interstate or overseas) and need the animal gone by then. The animals advertised here need to be given time so that the most suitable home can be found for them and that can often take a while!
We also reserve the right to remove the advert at any time if we find you have misrepresented your animal's physical state, behaviour or temperament to us. If at any time HAR is unable to contact you because you have changed your phone number and/or email address then we have no option but to remove your ad to avoid potential adoptors being disappointed and having their time wasted! The ad will however be reinstated if you contact us again with your current details.
To cover our promotion and advertisement costs we now request a $20 listing fee be donated prior to HAR listing privately surrendered animals. We will contact you after completing the form below to arrange deposit of the Listing Fee into the account below.

PLEASE NOTE HAR IS UNABLE TO TAKE PETS ADVERTISED
ON THIS PAGE INTO FOSTER CARE. YOU MUST BE ABLE TO CONTINUE TO CARE FOR THE ANIMAL UNTIL A HOME CAN BE FOUND
DOGS
We will need you to send an email to with a digital photo of your pet attached (jpeg format and under 1mb please). Please include their details eg. name, age, breed, sex, size and also whether it is desexed, microchipped, lifetime registered, on heartworm and flea prevention and has up-to-date vaccinations. A brief story with information about their personality and why it has become necessary to rehome them also helps. Remember also to include your own name, phone number and e-mail address for enquiries and the suburb in NSW where the pet can be visited.
We ask all advertisers to list a donation or amount for the animal and request that should this money not be needed to cover vet work you donate the funds to HAR or another animal rescue group. HAR will not advertise puppies without ensuring the mother will be desexed to avoid further unwanted litters.
We will continue to advertise your pet until it finds a suitable home so, in order to keep the information on this page current, we would appreciate notification if and when the animal has been rehomed. This applies regardless of whether the rehoming was initiated by the advert on this website or by other means.
CATS
We require to sight proof of desexing, microchip details and submission of the $20 listing fee prior to the cat or kitten being listed on our website. We prefer these documents scaned or photographed and submited to catcarers@hotmail.com alternatively they may be posted by mail on request.
In addition we require 2-3 photographs of your cat- the nicer the photographs the better chance you have of finding a suitable home quickly and we trust each of the fields asked for in the form below will be completed accurately.
Our priority is rescueing and fostering cats and kittens from local pounds. Should a space become available in foster care for cats or kittens listed on our "Local Cats looking for home privately" page after the listing has been published HAR will notify you to see if you would like the cat or kitten surrendered to HAR. If this occurs HAR will still require an additional $40 surrender fee to bring the cat or kitten into our care.
To submit a cat or kitten to our Cats By Private Surrender page please click on the link below to begin the submission process.
