Shelter Partner Spotlight: WA Wildlife

When native animals in Western Australia are hurt, sick, or in danger, there’s one team people know they can call: WA Wildlife.

And for 6 years, we’ve been proud to call them our partner.

Our connection began during the devastating bushfires in 2020. Like so many others, we rushed in to help. But what started as an emergency response quickly grew into something more. From our very first conversations with the WA Wildlife team, their compassion, commitment, and dedication stood out. It was clear this was a partnership we wanted to continue.

In 2021, we helped them acquire the region’s first-ever emergency wildlife ambulance. And we’ve been proud to fund this life-saving program ever since.

This ambulance is truly a lifeline. It allows trained rescue officers to reach injured animals like kangaroos, birds, and other native wildlife, even in remote areas where help might not otherwise arrive in time. It means faster response, better care, and more second chances.

WA Wildlife has been caring for native animals since 1998. Founded out of a deep concern for wildlife, the organization has spent more than two decades rescuing, treating, and rehabilitating animals in need.

Today, their work is more important than ever.

Each year, thousands of animals are brought to the WA Wildlife Hospital due to vehicle strikes, orphaning, disease, habitat loss, entanglement, and other environmental challenges. Behind every one of those animals is a team working tirelessly to give them the best chance at recovery and release back into the wild.

Their work doesn’t just help animals. It supports entire communities and helps protect Australia’s unique wildlife for the future.

We’re incredibly proud to continue supporting WA Wildlife and the life-saving work they do every single day.
