Many other rescue groups solely exist to rescue and rehome certain species, or certain breeds, of animals. RSPCA WA exists to help all creatures great and small.  Yes, we do rehome animals, but we do so much more as well. 

The funding is to pay for costs associated with enforcement of the Animal Welfare Act 2002. We are the only animal welfare organisation in WA that has this responsibility. This is State Government legislation that we enforce on their behalf – that’s why State Government has recognised their responsibility to pay for it.  

We will still be funding, through generous donations, around 50 per cent of the costs to care for the animals that come to us through our inspectors, as well as 100 per cent of costs for the animals that come to us as strays or non-Inspectorate surrenders. 

In addition, donations fund our vital community outreach, education and advocacy work that helps improve the lives of all animals across WA.
