Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary operates a 24-hour wildlife rescue service in Tassie,. so if you find a creature in need, you can phone them any time,. night or day. . They also run free training on basic wildlife rescue and transport if you want to become a wildlife carer.. If you just want to see our wondrous and elusive wildlife, come and visit the sanctuary, we’re open from 9am-5pm daily.

IF YOU FIND INJURED OR ORPHANED WILDLIFE:

* keep the animal warm and quiet

* keep the animal in the dark

* keep handling to a minimum

* don’t give it any food or drink

Raptor Refuge aims to reduce human impacts on raptors in Tassie, through rehabilitating injured, sick or orphaned raptors, educating the public and helping to conserve their habitat. You can volunteer to help maintain the grounds, feed the raptors, manage the calendar sales or maintain our website and social media presence. Raptor Refuge isn’t a zoo, but you can organise a tour with a small group or do a raptor “Rescue to Release” workshop with us.

Brightside is a sanctuary and shelter that rescues and re-homes hundreds of farm and companion animals every year.. We’re open strictly by appointment as Brightside is also home for it’s founder, Emma Haswell..

We advocate and campaign for farm and companion animals. Every year we educate thousands of students in schools and at Brightside and give hundreds of abused and neglected animals a permanent, loving and secure home at our Sanctuary. We are a voice for the voiceless.

ADOPTION

PIGS (goats, horses, rabbits, all neglected pets and farm animals)

We also have animals for adoption including a number of rescue dogs

DOGS (and other pets too)

Dog’s Home of Tasmania is a statewide organisation with offices in the south, north and north-west of Tassie. Our job is caring for homeless and unwanted dogs until we ultimately re-home them in a. loving and permanent home. We also run training courses for dog owners. Dogs are our business and we’re dedicated to improving the life of all dogs.. If you see a lost, stray or neglected dog, inform your local council, or if you have lost your dog, drop in and see if we’ve found her.. You can volunteer to help us with fundraising, dog walking or grooming, or you can foster a dog until we find a him a permanent home..
