Why caring for animals is so rewarding

Every pet deserves a loving and respectful home: please only consider acquiring a pet if you will be able to take care of its long-term needs. Also, consider choosing your animal companion from a shelter, where there are so many wonderful furry friends who need a forever home. 

A selection of Cyprus animal shelters, as well as their locations, can be found here.

In this video, staff from Zoos Victoria and the RSPCA express their thoughts on why we should care about animals, and what good welfare means for all creatures, great and small.

Zoos Victoria is a leading Australian zoo-based conservation organisation, dedicated to fighting wildlife extinction.

Its three member zoos are Healesville Sanctuary, Melbourne Zoo and Werribee Open Range Zoo, whose work includes breeding and recovery programmes, as well as building partnerships with local communities, fellow conservationists and similar organisations, both locally and internationally
