PLEASE NOTE: BAWCS Shelter and Sanctuary will no longer be offering pet boarding services for the general public effective 1 February 2024. We sincerely thank all of our clients for their support for our organisation in the years we have been offering boarding to generate much needed income.
If you are an agency with a client in need, please email [email protected] with your requirements.
BAWCS Boarding kennels provide a safe, secure and caring environment for your dog whilst you’re away from home.
We provide a selection of quality dry food for your dog. If your dog has special dietary needs, you must bring along their food which we will be happy to feed. Please note: we are unable to accommodate feeding of fresh meat, including chicken necks for your pets.
Veterinary Requirements – All dogs must have had a C5 vaccination within the last 12 months and at least 2 weeks prior to boarding with us. A Vaccination Certificate will need to be provided on arrival.
BAWCS is able to administer medication if required and we have access to On-Call Veterinary Services should the need arise. (all costs incurred at owner’s expense) Please note there is a $25 Transport fee charged per visit if a BAWCS representative is required to transport your pet for veterinary treatment or if medication pick up is required whilst boarding.
Boarding kennel fees:
$25 per dog per day
$30 per dog per day for Kelpie size and upwards
$35 per dog per day giant breeds (ie: Great Dane)
Please note there is an additional charge if medication is required to be given / administered. Please advise your dog’s requirements when you book.
