RSPCA- Nardine has partnered with the RSPCA WA to care for the pets of families in refuge.
Pets in Crisis is RSPCA WA’s domestic violence pet refuge scheme which guarantees victims of domestic violence that their pets will be cared for while they are in refuge or other temporary accommodation. Pets are cared for in foster facilities until the family can arrange permanant, safe accommodation.
