The founders of AAPS were a group of people greatly concerned about animal welfare, to help address the need for an Animal Shelter in the South Eastern region of Melbourne in Victoria.
Established over 50 years ago, our shelter cares for and nurtures homeless animals, aiming to return as many as possible to their owners or find them new fur-ever homes.
Although most animals in our care are dogs, cats, and rabbits, the shelter accepts all animals in need, including native animals, farm animals, birds, ferrets, and other domesticated animals.
