About
Thinking differently about pet adoption
Unfortunately, many pets enter the rescue cycle due to no fault of their own. We want to encourage people to think differently about adoption. To give a pet and themselves a better life. Learn more about Adopt Different and our annual National Pet Adoption Month.
Pet Adoption at PETstock
A long time ago, we made a choice not to sell dogs or cats in our stores
Instead, we’re advocates for pet adoption, and our stores proudly partner up with rescue groups in Australian and New Zealand communities to promote perfectly lovable rescue pets and just how great they are!
Adoption Stories
Ed & Cooper
“Like anything big in life, adopting or fostering a pet can be challenging, but that’s no reason to miss out on something so wonderful and rewarding”
Emily & Siren
“It’s important to ‘adopt different’ because sometimes it’s the animal that you least expect that you’ll have the bigger connection with”
Lisa & Ray
“Fostering is a great option, because if it’s not right for you, it allows the pet an opportunity to find their perfect home”
Michelle & Scout
“Adopting is a beautiful thing to do and knowing you may have saved their life is a pretty good feeling”
Tamara & Jax
“An adopted animal will always have an unknown story… that just means that they require even more love”
Carolyn’s Rabbit Refuge
“Be it a dog, a cat, a rabbit, chickens, or a horse, they are all amazing,”
Charlene & Sapphire
“We would love people to think outside the box, about that gorgeous dog with a couple of quirky behaviours who just needs someone to give them a chance”
