The goal is to re-home as many animals as possible over the three-day adoption drive.
Although adoption fees will be drastically reduced, normal adoption procedures will apply to ensure each animal is matched with the right family, including one-on-ones with prospective adoptive parents and future fur-siblings.

The animals will have already been desexed, vaccinated, microchipped and undergone veterinary checks and behavioural assessments.
“This weekend is all about encouraging people looking for a pet to consider adopting, not shopping, for their newest family member,” said Brendon Neilly, RSPCA NSW Executive Manager Animal Care Services.
Last year, 2,792 animals found were re-homed across the country in the RSPCA’s most successful adoption promotion to date.
The Orange RSPCA shelter is located at 71 William Street. It will open between 10am and 3.30pm on Friday and on the weekend.
