NEWS FLASH

We are nearly there!!
You can help us to raise the funds to improve our facilities so we can keep helping the dogs.

Over the past five years we have worked hard on our long term planning and the proposed redevelopment of our property in Nambeelup, near Mandurah WA.

We are building 20 new kennels, vet and grooming areas, isolation pens for puppies and sick dogs, a volunteers’ training room, laundry, kitchen and a new office.

Special thanks so far to Lotterywest and the West Australian Government (Royalties for Regions) for grants towards this project.

Did you know?

Australian research has shown that dog ownership results in -

·  Increased social capital – a more connected community

·  Improved health and wellbeing

·  Higher rates of regular exercise amongst dog owners

·  Reduction in the rate of childhood obesity

·  Increased sense of personal and property security

The pet industry in Australia is worth around $4.74b each year and employs nearly 50,000 people. This industry is a valuable contributor to our region.
