Burnie Shelter
The Burnie RSPCA was formed in 1951, but has only been operating at its present site since 1982.
The Shelter is centrally located on a main thoroughfare in the middle of a busy shopping centre, and offers its own on-site Thrift Shop.
Shelter operations are coordinated by a Shelter Manager, assisted by capable staff and numerous volunteers, ranging from dedicated long timers to junior volunteers who help out with the Cuddles Club.
The Shelter has capacity for approx 40 cats/kittens for adoption with assorted pens for rabbits, birds and other small animals should the need arise. We also operate a commercial cat boarding facility which provides a primary source of income for the shelter.
Regional Branch Committees around the State are comprised of RSPCA members and meet once a month . The committees discuss and develop fundraising activities and shelter projects, and are particularly active in improving the welfare of animals. They are always looking for enthusiastic people who would love ot be involved with the different fundraising activities held throughout the year.
Stray dogs are referred to the Burnie Dogs´ Home.
