Tell us your stories

Whether working to educate the community about important animal welfare issues, or dealing with the media, we’re always looking for real-life stories to illustrate the subjects we’re talking about.  Such stories are vital to helping us raise awareness and make a difference.

If you have experienced the joy and sadness that are inevitable in sharing our lives with all kinds of animals, or if you know someone who has, we’d love to help you share your story with the world.

Below are just a few ideas, but if you have a story to tell, please drop us a line on news@rspca.org.au.  We’ll contact you back to talk about your story and you can remain anonymous if you like.

Have you found the love of your life through the RSPCA?

If you found your new pet at the RSPCA, and especially if you located your new family member using www.adoptapet.com.au, we want to hear all about your happy ending!

The pulling power of pets

Recent polls indicate more than half of Australia’s pet owners have met a new friend or partner through their pets.  If you’ve found love or expanded your social circle with the help of your four legged companions, please tell us your story.

Our amazing animals

We are frequently amazed and delighted by the funny, clever and brave things animals do every day and of the lengths animal lovers will go to, to protect their charges.  If you’ve been fortunate enough to witness the clever or heroic actions of an animal, or you know of a person who has risked their own welfare to save an animal, we’d love to share your experiences. You may even be lucky enough to have your story published in one of the SMARTER than JACK books. If your story is selected you will be contacted first for permission.

Fair Go for Farm Animals

Have you had first-hand experience of the difficulties faced by many of our farmed animals?  If you’ve seen or worked with battery farmed hens, intensively farmed pigs, live exports or other farm animals industries, and are willing to speak out on their behalf, please contact us for help.

The cruelty connection

Research has identified strong links between cruelty to animals and other forms of violence including domestic violence, violent crime and child abuse.  If you or someone you know has experienced this and can speak out to help us educate and assist others, we’d love to hear from you.

A picture is worth a thousand words

Attention budding photographers!  If you just love animals and have managed to capture their special qualities in an image, we’d love to get a copy.  We’re always on the lookout for great photographs of all kinds of animals in various situations, that we can use in our campaigns and other communications materials.  If you have a great photo that you’d like to share, send us the details and we will make sure you are acknowledged wherever we use your picture.

The RSPCA and you

Have you been able to manage your pets medical and health needs better, thanks to RSPCA Pet Insurance? 

Do you just love using your Bendigo RSPCA Rescue VISA card?

Have you given an RSPCA gift card to someone you care about?  Perhaps you’ve bought other great gifts (for yourself or someone else!) through our online shop.

Have you and your pet become healthier and lost weight through exercising together?

We’d love to hear your feedback!
