RSPCA South Australia

RSPCA South Australia's role is to prevent animal cruelty, to protect animals, and to care for animals. We enforce the Animal Welfare Act, investigate reports of alleged animal cruelty, and prosecute cruelty offenders. We run community education programs, and lobby government and industry for improvements to legislation and animal welfare standards. We provide care for up to 10,000 sick, injured, abandoned and abused animals every year. Animals who often need specialised veterinary care, and behavioural rehabilitation to learn to love and trust again. We rely on the South Australian community to provide approximately 90% of our funding, and a team of more than 1,000 volunteers to help provide our services. It is only with the community's ongoing support that we are able to be there for all creatures great and small.
