People and Pets Community Days

By connecting with local pet owners at People and Pets Community Days, our branches and supporter groups continue to nurture animal-loving communities throughout NSW.

RSPCA NSW believes that people belong with their pets. The bonds between people and their animals make for stronger, healthier communities but, far too often, financial hardships and other obstacles get in the way. Hurdles like financial hardship, illness, and restricted access to pet-friendly housing can make caring for an animal seem like a risky, expensive strain. They can force even devoted animal carers to consider surrendering their pets to a trusted rescue group or their local animal shelter. 

Addressing these hurdles is why we’ve developed our People and Pets Community Days, which are run by our branches and supporter groups in communities throughout NSW. These days focus on encouraging people to check in on their pet’s wellbeing and health. By providing animal behaviour advice, parasite prevention, essential supplies, and desexing vouchers, we’re paving the way to a brighter future for people and animals alike.

People and Pets Community Days are key to improving both human and animal welfare. Thanks to our incredible volunteers, we can address the hurdles facing devoted animal carers seeking assistance with their pets. Every volunteer plays a crucial role in our success. If you have passion for animal welfare and enjoy meeting like-minded people, please consider lending a helping hand by becoming a volunteer. Whether you’re interested in facilitating our community assistance programs or organising fundraising events, there’s a meaningful role waiting for you at one of our branches and community volunteer groups.

Our Crisis Support Programs help keep people and animals together through times of hardship, hospitalisation, and domestic and family violence.
