NSW Animal Rescue Inc is
Our philosophy is
giving life back to animals that would face certain death
through
painful neglect, disease and illness. It is also about educating the
public about the responsibilities involved in raising and caring for an
animal.
We have been
operating since early 2005 and have a dedicated shelter
on acreage in south western Sydney.
Our kennels are
approved by the local council and can hold up to 150 dogs.
We care for small
breed special needs dogs. The special needs
dogs we take
into our care are able to be rehomed after they have
had extensive &
often expensive veterinary care.
NSW Animal Rescue Inc. and the Community
As a charity within the community, our
organisation is about community.
Our
Rescue believes not just in helping animals, but also the owners of the
animals
and the reaction of the community as a whole to the caring of
animals as family pets.
NSW Animal Rescue Inc is continually increasing its exposure within
the
local
community in the following ways:
Regular fundraising
activities
to help raise much needed funding.
The Rescue relies solely on its own fundraising efforts and does not
receive any
government funding .
Low cost microchipping
Microchipping is
essential in order to stop animals from being lost, ending
up in
pounds
and ultimately being destroyed if the owner can not be found.
Desexing is
mandatory for all animals brought into the Rescue, in order to
prevent
unnecessary breeding and generation of further unwanted animals.
Placement of Companion Animals
NSW Animal Rescue will
continue to donate suitable animals to nursing
homes as
companion
animals to the residents. Animals may also be given at
little
or no cost
to certain individuals meeting the Rescue’s guidelines for
needing a companion animal.
We operate
a referral service for the elderly to keep their much
loved pets.
We are able to
assist with the care of the animals by providing
some practical assistance.
We also offer
suitable pets to the
elderly at no cost.
Currently this service is operating in selected areas of
Sydney only and
conditions apply.
Public Education in the choosing and caring of
‘the right pet for the
right person’
NSW Animal Rescue offers ongoing
TAFE approved training in
animal care
to staff,
volunteers and foster carers.
Surrendering your Animal
We take a limited
amount of private surrenders when available space
permits us to do so.
We also rescue
animals from pounds and shelters in Sydney, NSW.
We rescue
using our own clause 16(d) exemption issued to us by the
NSW Department
of Local Government.
We also take special needs animals from
pounds around Australia.
NSW Animal Rescue Inc.
was awarded the Cumberland
Newspapers’
2006 & 2007 Business
Achievers Awards for their services to the
community.
We were also the 2007 and 2008 winner of the national awards for
Dogs Life Magazine Best Local
Animal Rescue.
