History:

Friends of RSPCA Albany started in February 2001 and has developed rapidly since then.

Initially opened as an Op-Shop in April 2001 at Terrace Arcade, Albany it started a local Million Paws Walk in May 2001.

The Albany group was the first location outside Perth metro area to have its own RSPCA Group and Shop.

In August 2003 the group opened the Official Advice Center which included a localre-homing program for rescued animals and thanks to the help of its dedicated volunteer carers continues to operate housing many anaimsl each year.

BY January 2006 it was clear that the operation was growing at a steady pace and needed bigger and brighter premises. So the hunt was on for a new premises and in May 2006, 45 Collie Street was officially opened by Peter Watson MLA.

The Auxiliary always has a range of volunteer roles for people who have a free morning, afternoon or just a couple of hours to spare.
