What do we strive to achieve?

First and foremost awareness and recognition of the problems regarding the excess numbers of domestic animals in our country and what action is at present being taken to solve them. Most of the general public are unfortunately unaware of the problems that domestic pets face. In the long term Irwins would like to see a change in other animal welfare societies as they are today where their excess animals have to be euthanased and also see the Irwins Animal Rescue Centre as a temporary sanctuary for re-homing animals too, instead of needing to provide a permanent sanctuary for unwanted animals who have been permanently damaged by neglect, abuse and eventually being abandoned. Which is the case today.
