Our Mission

Making a difference – Saving Lives

Our Vision

Every animal is valued through dignity and respect in all communities within our region.

Our Five Freedoms

The Five Freedoms state that an animal’s primary welfare needs can be met by safeguarding the following five freedoms.

1

Freedom from hunger and thirst by ready access to fresh water.

2

Freedom from discomfort by providing an appropriate environment, including shelter and a comfortable resting area.

3

Freedom from pain, injury, or disease by prevention or rapid diagnosis and treatment.

4

Freedom to express normal behaviour by providing sufficient space, proper facilities, and company of the animals’ own kind.

5

Freedom from fear and distress by ensuring conditions and treatment which avoid mental suffering.

"We continue to develop programs that not only help enrich the lives of animals but also the people in our region."
