The initiative is part of the RSPCA's Clear the Shelters campaign, which helps re-home hundreds of animals throughout the country every year.
Petbarn Mittagong will have a range of animals including dogs, cats, rabbits, and guinea pigs available to adopt at a fee of $29.
Store manager Sean McKinley, said the event encouraged people to "adopt, don't shop".
"Adoption is one of the most rewarding and valuable things you can do - both for the animal and the individual," Mr McKinley said.
"They bring you companionship, unconditional love and it's amazing to see pets, who may have otherwise been left behind, thrive in their forever home.
"We are passionate about pet companionship, which is why we partner with shelters all year round to ensure as many animals as possible have a second chance at their happily ever after.
"Through working with our adoption partners, we have helped re-home thousands of rescue pets."

Although adoption fees will be drastically reduced this weekend, normal adoption procedures still apply.
This including one-on-ones with prospective adoption parents, and current household pets, to ensure each animal is matched to the right family.
All adoption pets have undergone a comprehensive vet check and been de-sexed.
In all cases dogs and cats are micr chipped, treated for internal and external parasites such as worms and fleas, and have had their initial vaccination. Dogs are also treated for heartworm.
