The Australian Pet Welfare Foundation (APWF) is committed to decreasing the killing of pets in pounds and shelters throughout Australia. Knowledge gained through research supported by the Foundation can transform the way shelters and pounds manage and rehome abandoned and lost animals.
Just as modern research has helped to save countless human lives, so too can the research supported by the Australian Pet Welfare Foundation.
The statistics on the number of dogs and cats euthanased in some pounds and shelters are chilling. More shocking still, most of these animals could be saved. With the right intervention. The right strategies. And the right knowledge.
As a peak body and advocate for pet welfare, the APWF provides evidence-based solutions within the community to save the lives of pets and people.
APWF’s primary activity is influencing key stakeholders in government, welfare agencies, veterinary professionals and community leaders. This is achieved by sharing evidenced-based information on best practice to save lives in shelters and pounds through changed policy and legislation.
