Animals Are Our Mission
Every year hundreds of thousands of our companion animals are abandoned in Australia. A high percentage of these abandoned paws never get the chance at a second happy ever after!
Whilst we can’t save them all we CAN commit to helping save the thousands of cats and dogs our local councils normally surrendered over to the RSPCA each year.
This is our communities time to shine and show how it could and should be done to support the rehabilitation and rehoming of our abandoned companion animals.
It’s OUR time to ensure that we have a safe option for the companion animals in our community, it’s time to step up and BE THE CHANGE!
