RSPCA Shelters and Inspectors have been working around the clock to provide emergency assistance to animals effected by the bushfires.

What we are doing and how you can help:

If you need emergency assistance, please phone 03 9224 2222.

To directly support our staff and volunteers at the front-line caring for animals affected by the bush fires, please donate here: https://wic032p.server-secure.com/vs138364_secure/Default.aspx?ReferredFrom=rspcavic_header or call 03 9224 2222.
100% of funds donated will support our work helping bush fire affected animals.

Bushfire Appeal
RSPCA Victoria

Burwood East VIC 3151

We are providing free veterinary care to animals in need at RSPCA facilities. We are also offering financial assistance to cover expenses provided by other vets, for treatment of bushfire affected animals. For information about veterinary financial assistance only, phone 03 9224 2251 or 0405 015 794 during 8am - 6pm. For all other enquiries please phone 03 9224 2222.

Our Inspectors are working with various government departments to provide emergency care to wildlife, companion animals and livestock.

We are providing temporary accommodation to animals at our Shelters across Victoria. If your pet needs emergency accommodation - please phone 03 9224 2222.

The RSPCA will be working to reunite lost pets with their families.
Please go to http://www.rspcavic.org/Forms/BushfireSubmit/Lostpetssubmit.asp to register a pet that you have either lost or found.

If you have the capability to transport and animal that you have found from the bushfires please take it to one of the following RSPCA shelters:

RSPCA Bendigo Shelter
RSPCA Epping Shelter
RSPCA Wangaratta Shelter

We are delivering emergency pet food to relief centres across Victoria including food donated by Hill's Pet Nutrition. If you wish to donate items such as pet food, bedding, leads and bowls you can deliver these to your local RSPCA.

To support our emergency relief effort in other ways, please complete our assistance form at http://www.rspcavic.org/Forms/BushfireSubmitHelp/Helpsubmit.asp detailing the the support you can offer. If we can accept your generous offer, we will contact you soon. Please note that if you are from interstate, you will need to arrange delivery of any items to Victoria.

Thank you to everyone who has offered their residential homes as temporary accommodation. We now have enough private residents to assist us, if needed.

We are in desperate need of blankets, if you can donate any blankets please deliver them to your local RSPCA.

There is a big need for supermarket 'green' bags. We are coordinating care packs and need these to bundle up items to hand out to families in need. If you can donate such items, please deliver them to RSPCA in Burwood East.

We are also in need of temporary fencing. If you are in a position to donate temporary fencing to assist with the management of animals, please contact us directly on 03 9224 2219.
Please note: If you are from the Bendigo area, our RSPCA Bendigo adoption centre has been closed. This will increase our capacity to provide emergency assistance to animals affected by the bushfires.

Bendigo Wish List

With all the animals going through our shelter there are a number of items that Bendigo is looking for. Donations of these items or any contributions towards these items are welcome:

Chest Freezer: To freeze bottles of water to put into the dog and cat pens in order to keep them a bit cooler on very hot days.

Dog & Cat Toys: We are constantly on the look out for toys for our stray, unwanted and neglected pets in order to make their stay with us a little brighter. Toys should be washable and able to be disinfected. Rubber Balls, Rubber Bones, Kong's, Squeaky Toys and Frisbees for the Dogs. Plastic Balls with bells, Run through Tunnels, things with hidey holes and Kong's for the Cats & Kittens.

Cat Carry Cages: The RSPCA goes through a high number of these as we are constantly transporting Cats & Kittens both around the shelter and to the Vets.

Shade Sails: We need these in order to keep our outdoor dog run areas sheltered and we are also looking to create an area for our hard working volunteers and staff to have their break outside in a sheltered spot if they wish.

New Leads: We go through a high number of dog leads and are always looking for them.
