| 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 which largely go unnoticed and are not prosecuted by authorities.
With no RSPCA presence to deter irresponsible ownership, the issues are generally left to our local Rangers Services who do not have a suitable holding facility or financial support to tackle the problems we face in Kalgoorlie-Boulder. We recognise that the 'pet' problems will continue to rise until the community forms it's own group to combat the issues.
Until recently, Kalgoorlie-Boulder has never had a professionally run companion animal organisation who could deal with a range of issues.
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.
KB P.A.W.S has been set up for you, the people in our community to become a part of the solution. KB PAWS consists of 6 committee members who will force our local issues to be dealt with. |
