We'd like to say a huge thank you to Cranbourne West Secondary College’s Year 9 carpentry students for building and donating dog kennels to help pets in need! With winter on the way, providing dogs with a warm, dry shelter to protect them from the elements is an important part of their care, and these shelters are making a big difference for families doing it tough across South East Victoria. Thanks to the 'Everything Building' class for showcasing their skills and giving back to the local community 💖🐾 Learn more about helping animals in need 👉 rspcavic.org/get-involved

RSPCA Victoria's Inspectors do one of the toughest jobs every single day. Our small Inspectorate team are on the frontline investigating severely neglected, injured or abused animals across the state. This often involves attending properties riddled with animal faeces and urine, pests, vermin, and mountains of rubbish. Sadly, it’s not just the animals being abused. Our Inspectors face daily verbal and physical abuse in the line of duty. This is unacceptable. Please help us keep helping the state’s most vulnerable animals by treating our Inspectors with respect.

𝗛𝗶𝗱𝗱𝗲𝗻 𝗴𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁; 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄? Four weeks ago the government was compelled to release the The Independent Review of Victoria’s Wildlife Act 1975 and its response to the report. The Act is 50 years old and this review was meant to be the first step in improving legislation that protects our native animals. Today we have learned that the Government will not be releasing this information under claims of executive privilege. It begs the question – what is in the report that they don’t want us to see?!

Over the past few weeks, we've welcomed Nokia, CitiPower and Powercor and TPG Telecom at our Burwood shelter for their Corporate Support Days! The teams got a behind-the-scenes look at RSPCA Victoria - cuddling and playing with puppies waiting for their forever homes, diving into a guinea pig training session in our Barn, and helping out with some much-appreciated jobs around the shelter. A special shout-out to TPG Telecom, who set a new record by cleaning 91 carry cages! 🤩🏆 To give your employees a unique and fun-filled team building day (with adorable animals!), get in touch at csd@rspcavic.org.au or enquire online at https://bit.ly/4kQ5fQl
