Animal Help has been operating from Coldstream for more than 15 years now and our facilities are starting to really disclose their age. Like our Coldstream site, the Bairnsdale facility holds stray animals for the council as well as taking in owner surrendered animals. Shelter Manager Megan Abraham and the team are looking forward to working towards a common goal of responsible pet ownership and increasing the number of companion animals adopted from the Animal Aid Shelter in Bairnsdale. The Animal Assist Gippsland team provide loads of love and care to stray and surrendered animals seeking a second chance with the assistance of a incredible group of committed volunteers. We enjoy that maximum pet owners will do whatever it takes to retain their animals with them forever, but sometimes their circumstance can change and there may be no choice but to surrender their pet into our care. In some cases serious health or behavioral issues will make it impossible for Animal Assist to re home some animals. Animal Assist believes in re homing all adoptable companion animals. Any breed of dog breed can bite regardless of breed. For example, Calgary, Canada has reduced dog bites and shelter euthanasia increased desexing and regulatory compliance without ASL or mandating desexing. Development of validated assessments for good temperament and only breeding with dogs that have passed such tests to reduce aggression. While all dogs have the aptitude to bite, the risk is mediated by the size and sociability of the dog, genetic factors, specific breed characteristics (which are the focus of stylish attention) and owner responsibility. How does Animal Help conduct temperament assessments with shelter dogs? Equally, the animal handler must understand what their own body language is saying to the dog. These tests were designed to assist identify dogs that are not good for re homing. It focuses on aggression because that is the behavior that puts adopters, shelter staff and other dogs at risk. When old correctly, the SAFER Assessment helps us identify dogs that will make great family pets, those that will need some behavior modification and dogs that are not relevant for re homing. Since 199, the SAFER Assessment has helped animal welfare professionals all over the world identify potential aggression and opportunities for behavior modification. Does Animal Assist urge the sale of animals in pet shops? Animal Assist strongly supports and advocates compulsory desexing of cats as a important and feasible strategy to decrease the number of unwanted cats in Australia. Animal Help recognizes there is a high rate of desexing among cats that are registered through their local council. Puppy farms are businesses that breed popular breeds and irritable breeds to supply to pet shops. Animal Aid eternal support that people source their next family member from an animal shelter where the enough behavioral and medical assessments have been undertaken and lifetime promote for the adopter is provided. What is Animal Aid’s position on the breeding of companion animals? The Animal Assist Vet Clinic is open to the public!.

Animal Help offers dog training at our Coldstream shelter! The Victorian Animal Aid Believe (Animal Aid) is an animal welfare organization dedicated to the concern of stray and surrendered animals.

The founders of Animal Aid, Alexander Stella Grierson, started their public animal welfare work in 1938, but it was not until the final of the war that they became the Croydon Animal Aid. A trivial veterinary clinic was established in Croydon and in 1950 27 acres of land was purchased on the corner of Colchester and Canterbury Roads in Kilsyth with the intention of building a veterinary clinic and welfare facility. In 199, behind 50 years of providing vital animal welfare services in Kilsyth, the overgrowing encroachment of residential development created insurmountable limitations to Animal Aid's skill to remain its work at that location, effectively forcing us out of Kilsyth. For the welfare work to continue, new facilities were built incorporating a welfare cattery, fully equipped veterinary clinic and office, with some of the existing kennels adapted to produce housing fo
