We would like to up date our Foster Register for Cyclones so if the need arrives we can call on people to help look after the animals here. Over the holiday season we are always full and we need to ensure that we have enough people available so all dogs and cats can be safely removed from the shelter should the need arise.  As a Cyclone Foster you would be required to collect an animal/s when a warning is given. You must ensure that the animal/s is kept in a safe and secure location with you. Generally animals can be returned to the shelter within a few days, once the shelter is safe and the cyclone has passed.

If you can help take 1 or 2 animals into your care in the event of a cyclone we’d love to hear from you. Please call the shelter or email admin@rspcadarwin.org.au to register.

In 2010 the RSPCA Darwin were awarded a grant to conduct a much needed Office/Reception Upgrade at our Boulter Road shelter and in November  the renovations were finished and the results were an amazing and refreshing transformation.
Thank you so much to all  those involved for their efforts and services.
A big thank you to Sign City for the donation of our fantastic new signs and the CDU students for helping out with the paving.

Parents 4 Pets

Keep an eye out for our 'Parents 4 Pets' segment on Darwin Digital Ten which airs regularly for some of our animals that are available for adoption and looking for a new forever home.

Darwin Digital Ten are great supporters of the RSPCA Darwin so if you haven't got Digital TV yet then you are missing out!!

Darwin Digital Ten.............Serioulsy Hot!

People attending the shelter to find their new dog/puppy addition to their families are extremely happy that they now get to keep their shoes and feet dry and free of mud due to the assistance of Pioneer Road Services, who recently donated  an asphalt footpath around the Adoption Kennels. The Pioneer Road Services crew spent 2 days laying the asphalt by hand and it not only looks fantastic but is greatly appreciated by all of us.

A big thank you also to Top End Sign Sales who donated some fantastic signs to show their support of the new pathway.

Regularly visit the RSPCA Darwin  to see if your animal turns up there.
And don't give up hope.
