Rspca Wa

RSPCA WA has been the voice for animals in Western Australia for over 130 years. RSPCA WA’s primary responsibility is to enforce the Animal Welfare Act (2002). As a charity, we work with government, industry bodies and the community to improve animal welfare and campaign on issues such as stamping out backyard breeding, promoting higher welfare food practices, and ending live animal export. RSPCA WA is the state’s largest animal welfare charity, and relies on generous donations and the support of the community for over 80 per cent of the funding needed to conduct our animal protection work. Last financial year RSPCA WA investigated 7,138 cruelty complaints. We cared for 2,441 animals suffering from cruelty, neglect and abuse, helping to rescue, rehabilitate and rehome them. RSPCA WA works in the community to provide support for pets caught in domestic violence; to help families experiencing financial hardship look after their pets’ needs; and to educate young people on animal welfare issues in their communities. There are many ways you can support animals in need in WA – through donations, fundraising events, volunteering, foster care, sponsorships or adopting a rescued animal.
