A compassionate community of animal carers
About Our Member Network
CANA members provide rescue, foster care and veterinary services throughout Australia.
Founded in 2007 as Animal Welfare League Australia Ltd, our member network today is made up of animal rescue organisations that provide a wide range of care for lost, abandoned, surrendered, and mistreated animals.
We support people.
We support the thousands of Australians who share their lives with companion animals. Research tells us that protecting and strengthening the human-animal bond brings real benefits to pets and people. We work to maximise those benefits.
We use our national voice.
We use our national voice to lobby government for legislation and policies which will improve life for animals. Our focus is companion animals, but we are committed to advocating for the responsible and humane treatment of all animals.
We share knowledge and rally support.
We share knowledge and rally support to develop and promote programs that deliver high welfare standards for animals.
