Dog Adoption Day

Looking to welcome a furry friend into your home?
Join Cairns Regional Council’s Dog Adoption Day on Saturday 22 August, from 9am to 1pm, at the Aeroglen Dog Off-leash park, next to the Touch Park.
Meet adorable dogs and puppies ready for adoption
We’re teaming up with local rehoming legends:
Come meet the gorgeous, rescued pooches looking for a second chance, to find their fur-ever homes.
All dogs are de-sexed and vaccinated.
There’ll be a raffle to support the rescue groups, plus a coffee van and cold drinks to keep your tails wagging!
Please don’t bring your own pets, as the dog park will be closed for public use during the event.
Don’t miss out, your new best mate could be waiting!
