While Australian society has seen many changes in recent years, the value Australians place on their relationships with their pets remains constant. Pets are part of the family in 63 per cent of Australian households, providing benefits to their owners and the communities they are part of.

For more than 140 years, RSPCA NSW has offered sanctuary to animals in need, provided veterinary care to the sick and injured, and investigated cruelty complaints. In that time hundreds of thousands of animals, and their owners, have benefited from our commitment to the prevention of animal cruelty.

At RSPCA NSW, we are too often reminded of the brutality and injustice perpetrated against animals. Our shelter staff and inspectors are the frontline defence against animal cruelty.

Every year, RSPCA NSW staff and volunteers go above and beyond to care for animals in need. From mice to ferrets, to cats and dogs, from horses and cattle, to emus and kookaburras, RSPCA NSW will always be there. Because we care for all creatures great and small.
