Our Story
The Armadale Community Animal Rescue Group (ACARG) is a registered not-for-profit volunteer organisation dedicated to saving lost, stray, abandoned & surrendered animals.
We are a no kill shelter and only euthanize when advised by a veterinarian practitioner.
ACARG supports and encourages responsible pet ownership. The new cat laws in WA require all cats that have reached 6 months of age to be microchipped, sterilised and registered with your local council. The new Dog Laws in WA require dogs to be microchipped and registered with your local council if it is over 3 mths of age.
*How are we funded?*
We receive no government funding and rely on our adoption fees, donations but mainly rely on the income from our Op Shops.
We have three Op Shops.
1) - Unit 5, 2 Gillam Drive, Kelmscott. All money raised goes directly to supporting the running of the animal shelter at 251 Railway Avenue, Armadale.
2) - Unit 8, 2 Gilliam Drive, Kelmscott. All money raised goes directly to providing discounted desexing and microchipping of animals for pensioners and disabled card holders. (desex and microchipping for cats and microchipping for dogs)
3) - Unit 4 1-5 Sunlight Drive Port Kennedy. All money raised goes directly to providing discounted desexing and microchipping of animals for pensioners and disabled card holders.(desex and microchipping for cats and microchipping for dogs)
