📢 Protect racing animals by having your say!
The Queensland Government’s 2025 Racing Review is your chance to ask for better protections for racing animals.

Significant animal welfare issues must be addressed when animals are used in racing. Too many racehorses and greyhounds face challenges such as catastrophic injuries, overbreeding, and limited rehoming opportunities after racing.

RSPCA Queensland is calling for stronger breeding controls, full-life tracking, improved rehoming efforts, and an end to painful racing practices.

😶 There’s a possum in the roof! What should I do? 🤔
It’s late at night and all is quiet… suddenly there’s a scampering coming from above and you know a possum’s taken up residence in your roof!

It’s a common occurrence in the Australian suburbs, so it makes sense that it’s one of our top calls for help.

If a possum keeps you up at night, it might be time to find them a new home. You can set up a possum box outside on a nearby tree and you can also possum proof your roof (once they have left the building for the day) to deter future occupants.

✨🎉 One last lap of memories 🎉✨
2025 marks the last ever RSPCA Million Paws Walk, so we're celebrating 30 incredible years of walkies and wagging tails.

Share your RSPCA Million Paws Walk memories in the comments!

It all began in 1994 when the very first Million Paws Walk took place at New Farm Park in Brisbane, drawing 500 participants and their pooches, all dedicated to making a difference for animals in need. The event was a roaring success, sparking its expansion not just across the state but nationwide, and becoming a much-loved tradition for both 2-legged and 4-legged friends!

This year, for the FINAL EVER Million Paws Walk, we hold our dog bowls up in toast, celebrating more than 750,000 animal lovers and 1.6 million furry paws across the country who have walked with us over the past 3 decades, raising an amazing $17 million for animals in need 🎉🎉

Thanks 'a million' for being a part of our history! ❤️

‼️ Urgent: Our Wildlife is in Crisis – they need you NOW!
The devastating cyclone in SEQ has left vulnerable wildlife facing a critical challenge. In the wake of the recent cyclone and devastating rains, animals are suffering — many orphaned, injured, and scared 💔

The cyclone has passed, but the damage to wildlife is beginning to be seen. This is a heartbreaking situation and they can’t survive without your help.

Seabirds found across inland urban areas, far from their natural habitats, weakened by the harsh conditions. They are battling exhaustion, injury and shock.

Koalas, normally resilient creatures, are coming in weak, drenched and exhausted.

Tiny, orphaned possums, birds and other young animals have been left to fend for themselves in the aftermath.

These babies are terrified, hungry and in desperate need of care. We urgently need your help.

With your kind support, you can provide these precious animals with the medical care and rehabilitation they so desperately need. Your donation will ensure that orphaned babies receive the proper care, nourishment and nurturing they need to survive.

Every minute counts, and these animals need you more than ever. Your donation will directly provide the life-saving resources they need to survive and heal.

❤️ Please donate now. Together, we can help our precious wildlife and make a difference in this tough time 👉 bit.ly/4hzUNK1

Team bonding day ends with a happy adoption 🐶❤️
Aussie Broadband recently joined us for an RSPCA Corporate Experience Day – the only time where team building and animal care go hand in paw 🤚🐾

It was a day filled with hands-on activities enriching animals, including making toys, behind the scenes tours, learning about animal welfare and the day-to-day tasks of our Brisbane Animal Care Centre. And of course, lots and lots of puppy cuddles!

And best of all, little Maple made such an impact that she found her forever home 🥰 Not too long after her experience with us, one of Aussie Broadband’s team members returned with her family to introduce Maple, where it was clear they all fell in love. And it was no surprise when the meet and greet ended with Maple being made an official member of their family 🐶❤️

Returning home after the floods? 🐱🐶🏡
The first visit back to your home after a flood event can be absolutely devastating. As Queenslanders we push on and start the clean up but, returning home with animals can make getting back on your feet that much more difficult.

Looking out for the safety of your pets might not just mean ensuring fencing is secure but also removing hazardous debris, providing pets with clean water and much more!

Plus, why not take this opportunity to plan for next time. Although this might be the last thing you'll want to think of, it's a great time to think and plan for what you were missing and what might have been helpful. Take action and plan now.

TIPS ON TAKING YOUR ANIMALS HOME
📦 Ensure that debris and damage to your property is removed or made safe - inside and outside
🛌 Provide your pets with a clean, dry and safe space in your house. Floods can cause disease, disinfect surfaces to eliminate sickness
📢 Disasters can easily spook pets, so if possible return pets after the heavily lifting and cleaning is complete
💦 Provide clean water and uncontaminated food
🏡 Ensure pets have shelter from the elements
🩺 Monitor the health of your pets once home and make sure your pet's heartworm prevention is up to date. Mozzies can carry this deadly disease

Cyclones and floods are the ultimate test for our precious wildlife 🐨💔
Sadly, much of our wildlife found themselves in the wrong place at the wrong time when ex-Cyclone Alfred arrived.

Our RSPCA Wildlife Hospital has been inundated daily with water-logged birds unable to fly, injured koalas and kangaroos, and displaced and orphaned possums and turtles. While our Rescue Units has been out on the road non-stop responding to calls of wildlife in distress.

Our RSPCA Teams, alongside our amazing wildlife carers and rescue groups, are working around the clock to treat and care for sick, injured and orphaned wildlife, but with flood waters continuing to rise we expect to see more and more wildlife in need of help.

HOW YOU CAN HELP? 👇
🦘 Injured and sick wildlife can be brought directly to our Wacol Wildlife Hospital (if safe to do so) if you're in Brisbane. Otherwise Australia Zoo on the Sunshine Coast.

☎️ Call our RSPCA Emergency Hotline on 1300 ANIMAL (264 625) 7am to 7pm for advice, or your local wildlife group.

Nosing about leads to a sore nose 🦔💔
He wasn't under arrest, but this Short Beaked Echidna came into our Wildlife Hospital under the watchful eye of a Police Constable.

Sadly, he had been found with an injured beak and a few abrasions to his face and body after what was most likely a run in with a car while sniffing out his dinner.

With some delicate stitches our Wildlife Vet Team stitched up his nose and monitored him closely to ensure he could once again rely on his sensitive snout to sniff out food.

After just over two weeks in hospital, he was ready to start the next stage of his rehabilitation with one of our amazing wildlife carers, and will soon be able to be released back into the wild ❤️

With March 3rd, being World Wildlife Day 🐨 it’s a reminder of how important it is for us all to do our part in protecting our native wildlife. How can you help? 👇

‼️ Be alert while driving and aware of where wildlife are located – be extra careful when driving at dusk and dawn as these are the times wildlife are most active.

🚮 Cleaning up and disposing of rubbish appropriately – if you spot any rubbish while out on a walk or in waterways, please place it in a bin to avoid wildlife becoming entangled with it or eating it.

🚗 Sadly, there may be times when you cannot avoid an animal when driving. When it’s safe to do so, stop, pull over and check your vehicle, as sometimes animals can get caught in car grills and engine bays. Call1300 ANIMAL (264 625) or your local wildlife rescue group for assistance.

🦘 Pouch checks can save lives – if you come across an injured animal, if they have a pouch please check for any young.

An up-to-date microchip leads to a happy reunion 🐱❤️
What started off as a normal day at school quickly changed when lessons were interrupted after a cat was found stuck down a drain!

Staff at the school sprung into action, quickly rescuing a very thin and shaken from her adventure cat, and brining her to RSPCA.

Luckily, when the RSPCA Team scanned her for a microchip, not only did they find her name to be Nancy but her owner's contact details were up to date!

Our Lost and Found Team had the pleasure of reuniting Nancy with her family, who were shocked and overjoyed to receive the call she had been found. Having gone missing over a month ago, Nancy's family had searched high and low fearing the worst had happened to their beloved pet.

And as it turns out, the drain was on the same street Nancy went missing and she might have been stuck down there unable to get out for several days. Thankfully with the return of kids to school, she was found in time!

Nancy's family couldn't wait to have her back home safe and sound, quickly jumping in the car to pick her up from our Animal Care Centre where many a happy tear was shed when the family reunited ❤️

Speaking of microchips... is your pet's microchip updated? 🤔 With the closure of HomeSafeID, it's the perfect time to check your pet's microchip is up-to-date to maximise your chances of being quickly reunited should they go missing.

Caught with no way to escape 💔
Brought into our Eumundi Rehabilitation Centre, this poor squirrel glider had been found caught in barbed wire and unable to escape.

The barbed wire had damaged the skin between his front and back legs that helps him glide, so a little TLC was needed to get him back in the air. Thankfully, our team were able to fix up the minor injuries that were sustained from his ordeal.

Now named Latte, his wounds soon healed it was off to the RSPCA Aviary. A flight assessment showed while he could move fast, his right arm was a little restricted. So, our dedicated Wildlife Team worked with him every day to help him regain the movement he needed.

After almost 50 days in care, Latte the Squirrel Glider was back to full flying form and was ready to be released back into the wild in Bundaberg.

🚑 Our RSPCA teams are rescuing 27,000 animals, just like Latte, every year in Queensland. To continue to save lives, we need to improve our capacity to care.

Meet Hugo 👋
Don't let his grumpy face fool you, Hugo can be quite the affectionate (on his own terms!) little soul! 😻

This 6-year-old independent gentleman is searching for a loving furever family. And on his wish list is a low-key indoor home with lots of comfy sleeping spot where he lounge and watch the world go by (one of his favourite things to do) 🌞🪟

Hugo is currently sporting a not so great haircut, after making his way into our care as a stray in desperate need of a very big grooming session. But don't worry, his luscious locks are growing fast and he'll have his fluffy furry coat back soon. To keep this distinguished gentleman looking stunning, regular grooming is a must 🪮❤️

His dislikes include 🎉 loud noises (they're scary!), and 🙌 people who don't respect boundaries - cuddles are great, but too much handling can be overwhelming!

If you're looking for a fluffy companion who appreciates peace and quite, Hugo might be your purrfect match 👉 https://www.rspcaqld.org.au/adopt/search/animaldetails?AnimalId=995091
