Inspectorate
Report Animal Cruelty: 1300 139 947
The RSPCA employs seven Animal Welfare Officers (AWOs) based throughout Tasmania. The AWOs are appointed by the Minister under the Animal Welfare Act 1993, to enforce the provisions related to animal care and management.
Education
Animal abuse doesn't happen in isolation. It is part of a far bigger problem of violence in our society. Research suggests there is a link between animal abuse, domestic violence, child abuse and aggressive, antisocial behaviour. Teaching children empathy for animals has shown an increase in empathy for humans.
Boarding
Are you about to set off on holiday and can't take your pet with you? Well, consider boarding your special friend at one of RSPCA Tasmania's Boarding Kennels & Catteries. Boarding your pet with the RSPCA ensures they receive the highest standard of care, and have a holiday of their own while you are away.
Legacy Pets
RSPCA Tasmania´s Animal Bequest Program is a program designed to provide continued love and care for your pet when you are no longer able to do so personally.
Emergency Assistance
According to recent research, one in three women delays leaving an abusive relationship because they are worried about what will happen to their pets once they're gone. And it's a very real fear.
Fortunately a new programme in Hobart helps adults and children escape domestic violence and/or sexual assault by providng emergency assistance for those much-loved pets.
Shelters
RSPCA Tasmania has four branches around the State, which have been operating in their current locations for several years. The shelters are one of the most visible parts of the operations, offering a lifeline to many abandoned and mistreated animals each year. Each branch works closely with their RSPCA Inspector to care for and rehome strays, and animals that are the victims of cruelty.
Lost and Found
If you have lost your pet, or found someone else's animal, you can have the details listed on our Lost and Found Register by contacting your nearest shelter.
