Free Microchipping Day
24th February, 2018
PATEMAN ROAD, ERINA PH: 4304 4350
We have been the successful tenders for
the Gosford Pound since 1st July, 2016.
The facility also houses our adoption
and rehoming centre. During our time
here we have successfully rehomed over
600 dogs and cats into wonderful, loving
homes (plus one piglet!).
We would like to take this opportunity
to thank the Central Coast Community
who have so wonderfully supported us
during this time. From our volunteers
who walk dogs, brush dogs and do
transport for us to the amazing general
public who bring in ice, make frozen
treats and have donated cooling mats for
the dogs to use on hot days. Our facebook
followers who share posts of lost dogs
and dogs waiting to find their forever
home and our amazing photographers
who donate their time and expertise to
ensure that the dogs profiles are looking
the best they can be – we cannot thank
you enough.
If we could take a minute to talk
about the importance of not only
microchipping your animals, but also the
need to keep your details up to date once
your animals are microchipped.
Recently there has been an influx of
stray animals brought into the facility who
are either not microchipped or with out of
date details. It is so difficult for us to get
your dogs home to you without correct
information or with no information.
With this in mind, we are pleased to
announce that we will be holding a free
microchipping day on 24th February,
2018 at the facility. We encourage
owners of dogs and cats who have not
yet been microchipped to drop into the
facility at Pateman Rd, Erina on the day
to take advantage of this free service.
While you are here, you can grab a
sandwich from the bbq and browse
the stalls as well as meet our dogs and
cats who are looking for their forever
homes. Please note that all cats must
be in a carrier and all dogs must be
on lead. If your details have changed
recently, we will also be able to update
your information to ensure it is current.
We also welcome everyone in the
community to call in on our open day.
Central Coast Council are also running
a desexing program, whereby owners of
microchipped animals and are in receipt
of a Centrelink or Dept of Veterans
Affairs card can apply for a desexing
certificate up to the value of $180 to
put towards your desexing fee. We can
provide you with this information at the
open day as well.
We look forward to seeing you….
