Many weeks ago, Dr Audrey and darter Oliver came across a little wallaby in the fire zone – her burns were minor, but she had a painful toe infection. She was our first beacon of hope after so much devastation.
As if losing your home to fire once wasn’t devastating enough, this private land was burnt twice leaving behind a wallaby and ringtail possum that needed care.
Through long days, sleepless nights, and heartbreaking rescues, our rescue team two has given their all to help wildlife caught in this devastating bushfire crisis.
Deep in the charred remains of the Grampians, something miraculous happened on an isolated sandy track after spotting a wedge-tailed eagle struggling on the ground.
While trekking through the burnt landscape on private property, our team stumbled across one of our prickly little friends - another echidna! After a careful check-up by our vet, we were thrilled to find that he was completely unscathed.
Since arriving in the Grampians, we’ve worked closely with Wildwood Wildlife Shelter - Gariwerd. Many of you have asked about Pam's and the animals in her care's safety – here’s what’s been happening.
Our First Response and Needs Assessment Team were deployed to the Grampians, answering the call to provide urgent veterinary care to wildlife impacted by the devastating bushfires.
As the year draws to a close, we’re overwhelmed with gratitude for the incredible community that makes our mission possible.
When kind-hearted Lillian from Frankston North heard tiny cries under her house, she discovered a stray mother cat with her kittens living in the dirt. Desperate to help, Lillian reached out to us for urgent assistance.
