Jacquie Petrusma,Liberal Member for Franklin
The Dogs’ ³Ô¹ÏÍøÕ¾s of Tasmania plays a vitally integral part in caring for abandoned dogs.
The Hodgman Liberal Government is a strong supporter of the Dogs’ ³Ô¹ÏÍøÕ¾s of Tasmania, and has provided much-needed support of $150,000 to undertake critical works programs at the organisation’s Risdon Vale home.
Providing appropriate care to lost and abandoned dogs is a wonderful community service, and the support the Government is providing is in recognition of the significant community service the Dogs’ ³Ô¹ÏÍøÕ¾ of Tasmania delivers to our state.
Works to be undertaken at the Risdon Vale Dogs’ ³Ô¹ÏÍøÕ¾ includes upgrades to drainage, security, fencing and waterproofing of pens.
Across the organisation’s three sites, the Dogs’ ³Ô¹ÏÍøÕ¾ reunites approximately 1500 stray and lost dogs with their owners and finds new homes for more than 1000 unwanted and unclaimed dogs.
On behalf of all Tasmanians, I would like to thank the Dogs’ ³Ô¹ÏÍøÕ¾ of Tasmania for the diligent work it does in caring for these wonderful animals.
