NEW in 2017: The Adoption Lane sponsored by Barlens

Many of our animal rescue groups - a record 12 in attendance in 2017 - asked how we might accommodate dogs for adoption that were unable to cope with the stress of attending the event. Knowing the conditions some of these dogs have come from, we were keen to assist!
Visit The Adoption Lane in the corridor between Budawang and Coorong pavilions to see photos and profiles of the most vulnerable rescue dogs looking for their forever homes.
