Letter from the editor

It’s not often that you get to be a part of history, but on the 30th of September every rescuer in the country has a chance to get involved in a grassroots revolution set to change the face of animal rescue in Australia.

There are new and better ways to save more pets. Proven methods to find more homes, change legislation and affect real change in our communities. As the front line defenders of animal welfare it is up to us to continually advance our sheltering knowledge. Only we can make a difference to the unacceptable levels of euthanasia of healthy, adoptable pets in Australia.

The NDN summit is a biannual event that is a must for all rescuers. The summit is our opportunity to be inspired by those leading the way internationally and to be offered practical solutions and concepts, to cultivate a local rescue community that shares knowledge to the benefit of homeless pets.

I’d like to personally encourage every PetRescue member to attend the summit. There are a limited number of places, so please book now. Please also forward this email to others in your organisation and everyone you know in the animal welfare field.

I look forward to meeting you there!

Cheers,

Michelle Williamson
