Casey topped the highest number of overall adoptions in 2023, The Lost Dogs’ Home revealed.
With its expanding population, Casey recorded 824 adoptions, followed by the City of Melbourne and the City of Meri-Bek respectively.
Statistics from the agency also showed Victorians were prepared to travel far and wide to find their special companions with adopters coming as far as the Bass Coast and to the Macedon Ranges.
In regional Victoria, the top three performing areas were the Mornington Peninsula Shire Council, Yarra Ranges Shire Council, and the Greater Geelong City Council.
With more than 8200 animals adopted so far this year, The Home’s spokesperson Suzana Talevski said the big adoption numbers were a clear indication that animals were playing a big part in our hearts and homes.
‘’Now more than ever Victorians are showing that we are a passionate community of animal lovers and we are extremely grateful for that,” she said.
‘’Our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who took in one of our beautiful animals and made a wonderful change in their lives, the impact can never be underestimated.’’
