Our Purpose – Animal Welfare
We, the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, Tasmania (RSPCA Tasmania) as it’s now known, work hard to support the State Government, Local government and other groups and organisations that are concerned about the welfare of animals across Tasmania.
We take in animals in most need. and provide them with shelter, food and, if needed, veterinary care. We also work with the carers or owners of these animals, educating them about the best way to care for their animals.
Deterring Animal Cruelty
We work with Government, other Tasmanian Animal Welfare Groups and other stakeholders to help create up-to-date and effective laws to deter animal cruelty within the State.
We’ve always been an independent, not for profit charity. We rely on donations from the public and local businesses, as well as income from any work that we carry out through our Animal Care Centre, Adoption Retail Centre or work that our Inspectorate does for the State Government, to carry out its role.
