K-B Pet Adoption & Welfare Services
Was born in the Goldfields in March 2007. Embarrassingly, our community has one of the highest rates of animal abandonment, pound turnover/euthanasia and some serious and shocking animal welfare issues
Until 2007, Kalgoorlie-Boulder had never had a professionally run companion animal organisation who could deal with a range of issues or any Authority with the power to seize and prosecute under the Animal Welfare Act
In July 2008, KB Paws became the first independent organisation in Western Australia other than the RSPCA who has the ability and backing to seize mistreated animals and prosecute cruelty cases
We now offer many services to the Goldfields community such as
KB P.A.W.S started out as an idea almost 12 months ago. A group of like minded people got together after much community consultation and decided to stop talking about it and implement a strategy that the community and our pets will benefit from.
The next 12 months will bring some of the most positive and exciting changes to the City of Kalgoorlie-Boulder and the way in which we view our companion animals
Over the next 12 months, with your support we hope to achieve the following :
-
Establish a cost price desexing clinic to make responsible pet ownership affordable. This will also break the cycle of breeding from unwanted pets that have been abandoned. Initially, this will only be available to the pets being adopted from our Adoption yard. Reduced price Vaccinations and Microchipping will also be incorporated into the clinic.
-
Design & Implement an approved Child Education clinic. With assistance from our Rangers service, we will be working to establish an approved program for school children to learn the basics in responsible pet care and how to avoid dangerous situations (dog safety seminars).
-
Raise awareness of Animal Welfare issues in our community.
-
Expand on the Adoption & Rehousing of unwanted pets who would otherwise be euthanased.
-
Assist pet owners in understanding the Pet / Pet owner relationship and the legal obligations and responsibility that comes with being a pet owner today.
-
To lobby Local and State Government to introduce sensible and workable animal control legislation which our members may feel is currently inadequate.
Most importantly...
We need you!
To make all of this possible, we need members, sponsorship & donations. We are offering membership to join KB P.A.W.S to assist us in turning the problem around. Becoming an Incorporated Association, KB P.A.W.S will be completely transparent in its workings and will be answerable to our members.
