Georgie at the Young Veterinary Clinic said that they haven’t had any animals brought in as of yet and currently only have one cat up for adoption and a couple of kittens. A Hilltops Council’s Ranger said that the period has been good with only a couple of dogs at the pound that are currently being re-homed by an agency.
But WIRES has reported high numbers of rescues throughout the Christmas holiday period.
“Between December 26, 2016 and January 8 2017 WIRES has received over 6000 requests for assistance for animals in need and advice about native wildlife.” A WIRES representative has said.
Local WIRES volunteer Jane Wilson currently has eight possums and kangaroos in her care.
