Your Bequest - their future
Animal Aid is committed to helping to create a society in which both humans and animals are treated with respect and compassion.

Animal Aid has a clear vision and commitment to the ideal of animals and humans living in harmony, and to take a leadership role in achieving the best outcome for animal welfare.

We operate as an 'Open Door' shelter and never refuse an animal in need. Animal Aid is now a pro-active shelter focused on working with other community organisations to develop practical solutions to problems associated with animal welfare and management.

Without our 'Open Door' many thousands of animals would simply not be around to share the journey with their owners.

We have worked tirelessly to give shelter and a safe haven to lost and abandoned animals since 1948. Providing shelter, veterinary care and the chance of a new home, with no financial assistance from the government means that we rely totally on the support of the community and fellow animal lovers. Through their bequests and donations, plus the wonderful assistance of our volunteers, our work is made possible.
