At Sweet Pea Animal Rescue, we provide short-term direct care to animals that have been lost, mistreated or are without owners. This includes the relief and prevention of pain as well as the rehabilitation of orphaned, sick or injured animals, with the ultimate goal of finding suitable permanent homes for these animals post-care.
In addition, we provide life term care to animals that are: terminally ill or geriatric and require ongoing medications and monitoring to ensure comfort and pain-free living at the end stages of life. We believe prevention is the best cure and focus on educating the community on the prevention of animal cruelty and the promotion of responsible pet ownership. As part of this, we encourage the desexing of animals where appropriate.
We also engage in voluntary work abroad, providing veterinary treatment for sick and injured animals and wildlife; desexing of domestic animals that are with or without owners; promotion of responsible pet ownership; and promotion of the prevention of cruelty to animals.
Hospital vs Rescue
Sweet Pea Animal Hospital and Sweet Pea Animal Rescue are managed and run independently of each other. Our rescue organisation is self-funded, raising funds through our adoption fees, events, raffles, and donations. The hospital provides veterinary treatment and preventative health care to the rescue animals at cost price. So, in reality the hospital is ancillary to the rescue and by bringing your pets to the hospital for their health care needs, you are supporting our rescue animals and the charity work that we do through Sweet Pea Animal Rescue.
