Since 1910 The Lost Dogsā Home has been a voice for animals without owners. Weāve been pioneers for fair animal laws and continue to work at the front line to reduce the number of lost, abandoned and stray cats and dogs.
The Home relies on public support to provide our Australia-wide services and programs, these include; National Pet Register, The Lost Catsā Home, shelter operations, adoptions and responsible pet ownership education.
Our expertise also extends to veterinary and animal management services. All of our functions are governed by a quality management system ā an industry first in Australia.
The Lost Dogsā Home is one of the countryās largest animal welfare organisations, caring for more than 25,000 cats and dogs each year. We pride ourselves on employing qualified individuals who demonstrate a strong personal connection to animals, the community and the cause.
The RSPCA is an independent, community-based charity providing animal care and protection services across the country.
The RSPCA federation works collaboratively to make animalsā lives better. The RSPCAās member Societies in each state and territory run animal rehoming shelters, investigate and prosecute animal cruelty complaints, educate the community on animal welfare and responsible pet ownership, and advocate for changes in policy and practice that improve the welfare of animals.
RSPCA Australia, as the federationās national body, is a leading source of animal welfare science, and works with governments and industries to progress animal welfare across a range of issues. In addition, RSPCA Australia runs the RSPCA Approved Farming Scheme, which works with farmers and brands to improve the lives of millions of farm animals.
