The RSPCA is a non-Government, community-based charity and their primary concern is the welfare of all animals - great and small.
http://www.adoptapet.com.au The RSPCA is known for its animal welfare work. Each year it accepts around 135,000 lost, abandoned or injured animals, but it needs help rehousing them. If you're ready for the responsibility of looking after a pet, why not give an RSPCA resuce a safe, permanent home? All pets adopted from the RSPCA are vet checked, desexed, vaccinated and temperament tested.
