Our vision

To be the pre-eminent animal welfare organisation in caring for lost and unwanted dogs and cats and in enhancing the responsible ownership of these animals in the community.

Our mission

To work with the community in promoting the welfare of dogs and cats by reducing the number of lost cats and dogs, alleviating their pain and suffering and enhancing the responsible pet ownership and enjoyment of pets.

We will fulfil this mission by performing the following functions:

Providing optimal animal shelter services to facilitate the reunion of lost pets with their owners, maximise pet adoptions, provide animal management services for local and state government authorities, offer quality veterinary services for stray animals and the pets of private clients and manage National Pet Register to maximise reunions between lost pets and their owners.

Managing our financial resources effectively and with transparency such that we continue to be financially viable.

Fostering a safe, healthy and environmentally sustainable workplace for the public, our staff and the animals in our care.

Referring any cases of alleged cruelty (reported to The Lost Dogs’ Home) to the appropriate authority or organisation for evaluation and further action.
