Mission Statement
Our mission at Great Southern Animal Protection is to reduce animal homelessness in the Great Southern Region by rescuing, rehabilitating, and rehoming animals in need.
About us
Great Southern Animal Protection (GSAP) is a not-for-profit animal rescue based in Albany Western Australia. GSAP was started in 2019 to provide support to animals in need mainly within the Great Southern region and have since rescued and rehomed animals as far as 1000 km away.
GSAP has successfully rescued and rehomed a staggering 2097 animals since opening, many of these animals being dogs, puppies, cats and kittens but also, rabbits, rats, guinea pigs, birds, ferrets, horses and chickens.
The animals GSAP assist come from various sources, such as private surrenders and pounds all over the Southwest. GSAP frequently receive urgent surrender requests, often due to pet owners becoming homeless. GSAP also help unclaimed pound pets who have served their time, litters of kittens that were unplanned, abandoned or found.
GSAP strives to promote responsible pet ownership, including population control through desexing prior to rehoming and offering packages to assist pet owners desex their pets after unwanted litters occur.
To be able to run a Not-for-Profit rescue GSAP relies solely on the incredible support of the community in many ways. Donations of money, food, toys and bedding are always needed and most importantly, GSAP need people who can offer homes and hearts to foster animals while they wait for their forever homes.
GSAP is completely run by volunteers and is foster based, therefore if there are we do not have foster carers, we can not rescue.
We need your help to assist GSAP to rescue the many beautiful animals in need across the Great Southern Region and beyond.
