Adopting a pet from Council's Glenfield Road Animal Shelter will make you a friend for life.
Whether you choose a dog or a cat, you only pay a single fee, and never have to pay a cent more.
Council's Animal Welfare Supervisor Julie McPhail said the one-off fee could save you as much as $800 compared to buying a pet off Facebook, or more if you included veterinarian fees.
"The fee covers everything you need," Ms McPhail said.
"Your new pet will come with a lifetime registration and lifetime microchip.
"The fee also covers vaccination, desexing, a heartworm test, an ID tag and a flea and worming treatment."
Ms McPhail said registering your pet was like registering your car.
"Microchipping, on the other hand, is a form of ID.
