It doesn’t matter if it’s 3 o’clock in the morning ... on a Sunday ... or even Christmas Day – if a call comes in about an animal in distress, one of our Inspectors will rush out to help.

Because animals don’t know that it’s after-hours or a public holiday. They only know that they are lost or frightened ... in dreadful pain after being beaten, kicked or run over ... cold and unable to escape after falling down a drain ... or hungry and thirsty from being tied up all day without food or water.

Every minute feels like a lifetime!

Our Inspectors are committed to responding as quickly and humanely as possible. But it's your support that keeps our rescue vans fuelled and ready to go ... pays the veterinary bills when a sick or injured dog or cat is brought back to our animal hospital for treatment ... and covers legal fees so we can prosecute perpetrators of cruelty to animals.

So please will you make your contribution right now online?

This is the busiest time of the year for us here at the SPCA – Fireworks Season and holiday time – which means more pets will be abandoned or run away. As long as there are animals in need of help, we will need money to medicate, shelter and care for them.

Knowing there are good people like you, who would also never say NO to an animal in distress, gives our Inspectors the encouragement they need to keep responding to reports of cruelty, neglect, stray and injured pets, and wildlife in danger – 365 days a year.

Thank you!
