Australian Pet Welfare Foundation

For more than a decade, the Australian Pet Welfare Foundation (APWF) has developed and shared lifesaving knowledge and advocated for changes to policy and practice that improve the health and wellbeing of pets and people. By introducing evidencebased, bestpractice solutions, we are shifting the needle on pound and shelter intake and their animal management strategies, and encouraging moves away from enforcement and towards assistance, to help keep pets with loving owners. Our holistic approach to stray cat management is indicative of our vision; challenging perceptions, leading trials to identify more effective solutions and giving pet lovers the support they need to care for animals in their community. From community interventions designed to reduce the breeding of unwanted pets and prevent the loss of wanted pets, through to lobbying for affordable veterinary care and demanding accountability from shelters, we re committed to building a happier, healthier and safer world for pets, people and their environments.
