RSPCA Care Centres
Overview
For over 135 years, the RSPCA has been protecting and caring for animals through its shelters. But we know that as soon as we build a shelter, it will be full to capacity with animals that deserve a second chance at finding a good home.
Shelters aren't always the most customer friendly environments. Many people avoid going to shelters because they find it too emotional. Instead, they go to pet shops or breeders. There is also a perception that if an animal is at a shelter, there is something wrong with the animal.
The RSPCA Care Centres at both Tuggerah & Rouse Hill are shelter outreach facilities that includes an adoption centre and outpatient veterinary clinic* (Rouse Hill Care Centre only). Their main aims are to rehome more animals in a welfare friendly environment and educate the community about responsible pet ownership.
The outpatient veterinary clinic located at the Rouse Hill Care Centre provides the following services:
* ear and eye checks
* vaccinations
* microchipping
* behavioural advice
* health checks
* desexing service
The RSPCA Rouse Hill Care Centre was a finalist for the 2010 Rouse Hill Business Achievers Awards. Congratulations and well done to the Care Centre Staff and Vets for their efforts to be nominated!

RSPCA Care Centre mission statement
"To promote responsible pet ownership through re-homing, education and community enrolment."
The goals of the RSPCA Care Centre:
* Decrease euthanasia and increase adoptions
* Promote responsible pet ownership through education
* Provide expert advice that is accurate and in keeping with our policies
* Provide a service that is of the highest standards for both Animal Welfare and Customer Service
Integral to this project is the care and protection of animals. As the RSPCA, we are subject to scrutiny and we must be exemplary in our commitment to animal welfare. We have created an environment where animals come first. You will never see puppies in the window at Rouse Hill. Every animal has been transported from our Yagoona shelter. Like all RSPCA animals, the Rouse Hill residents will be desexed, microchipped, behaviourally tested and vet checked. We will also be providing a range of animals of different sizes and ages (not just cute puppies and kittens), and the staff will all be RSPCA accredited.
The products and services that RSPCA Care Centre Rouse Hill will bring to the community are:
* Animal Adoptions
* Veterinary Outpatients Clinic
* Retail Products
* A Pet Advisory Service
* Community Education and Events
If you would like to contribute to the animals' care and enrichment whilst they are at Rouse Hill please donate here.
