A second chance at sunset: Coldstream’s twilight adoption evening

As the year winds down and calendars fill up, it can be hard to find time for the things that really matter.

That’s why Animal Aid Coldstream is opening its doors after hours on Friday 28 November, giving the community a chance to meet the animals waiting for a second chance, at a time that works.

From 4.30pm to 7.30pm, the Coldstream shelter will host a Twilight Adoption Evening, inviting locals to discover the joy of adoption in a calm, early evening setting.

With shelters at capacity and kitten season already in full swing, this event is about making it easier for good people to meet great animals, and maybe take one home.

There’ll be free microchipping, practical advice from our vets and trainers, adoption specials, and some tasty food and sweet treats on offer.

You can even bring your own friendly, vaccinated dog along to meet a potential new mate.

If adoption has been on your mind but hard to fit in, this is your chance.

The team will be there to help you find the right fit – no pressure, just genuine conversations and real opportunities to open your home to a new furry family member.

Twilight events will also run in Sale and Bairnsdale.

Twilight Adoptions: Friday 28 November | Coldstream Shelter open until 7.30pm.
