UQ’s Pets-for-Life adoption program gives unwanted pets a second chance in life while at the same time helping Clinical Studies students learn about handling skills, animal behaviour and preparing for procedures.
Adopting a Pet-for-Life is very rewarding as one of our new families recently said after adopting ‘Mishka’ the cat,
“The program is about changing lives, not only of those animals whose destiny has been to save others, but about improving the quality of your own household, bringing into your home the kind of emotional and physical happiness that only a beloved pet can offer”
Our Pets-for-Life adoption program will match the needs of the pet with the right family. So if you are interested in meeting one of our pets please call 5460 1868, leave a message and we will return your call as soon as possible.
We are based at UQ’s Gatton campus and open Monday to Friday, 8am to 4pm.
Adoption Fees: $350.00 for dogs and $250.00 for cats. All fees go back into caring for our Pets-For-Life animals.
All dogs and cats are;
All our Pets-for-Life adoption animals are kindly supported and fed by Advance Pet Food.
The Clinical Studies Centre is helping to contribute to solving the unwanted and abandoned pet issue through education and each time a dog or cat is adopted we save another life.
Research has revealed some large whale populations have defied over-exploitation and near-extinction to reach ‘peak’ abundance – or will do so early in the next decade.
A University of Queensland study monitored east Australian humpback whale populations from Point Lookout on Minjerribah (North Stradbroke Island).
Crackle who came in with her sister Pop and Snap, is a fun loving young lady. Sadly she is the last of the Rice Bubble girls to find a home. Can your home provide the missing link, for this adorable young lady, everyone needs a little 'Christmas Crackle'
Like the Honda, our Jazz is a little pocket rocket. She LOVES other cats and needs to go to a home with another cat. Jazz can be a little shy at first but once she is comfortable in her environment, there is no stopping her. She is a young girl who is eager to please.
Mr Bojangles. 13 m.o. domestic shorthair, male. The shy brother of Mr Bombastic - fortunately will do almost anything for food! Lives amicably with four other cats, and would love to stay with a known companion (like his brother), but ok to separate.

Bunny was named after that rabbit who comes to visit at Easter time, because she is literally as sweet as chocolate. She has mixed well with the boy dogs here at our Centre, and does definitely like to be in charge of games. Bunny would appreciate an easy-going, male buddy dog who understands the "happy wife happy life" concept as Bunny can play hard, Boxer-style, but as a mature girl, she is quite confident telling another dog when enough is enough. Loves to dig in the sandpit, almost makes it to China, but doesn't dig in the lawn (garden beds may be fun to dig in though, so definitely provide a sandpit)! Active, fun-loving, easy to walk on leash, well-mannered, and good at settling down indoors, Bunny could adapt to most homes and families quite readily. Help us find Bunny a home befor Christmas. Her age is estimated, she may be slightly older. Bunny may be cat tolerant, this can be tested further if a home with a cat is interested.
