We provide services to financially disadvantaged people, people at risk of homelessness, people experiencing homelessness, unemployed persons, victims of crime (including family violence) and the general community in Australia. We do this by providing veterinary services, shelter and adoption services to companion animals of people of limited means, treatment and support of animals of people who suffer family violence in the home, as well as providing emergency welfare boarding for animals of abused spouses. We also support the community via programs such as Pet Therapy (visiting human hospitals & age cared facilities) for the benefit of sick, at risk and disadvantaged people
