  RSPCA Burwood East

RSPCA Burwood East is our largest shelter, located in the south eastern suburbs of Melbourne. Our community services at RSPCA Burwood East include our adoption centre, animal shelter, veterinary clinic, animal behaviour training, grooming and education centre. Our emergency ambulances also operate from our Burwood East location.

RSPCA Burwood East is the head office of RSPCA Victoria so all the critical support services needed to continue our work across the state are based at this location.



Adoption centre

If you're looking to adopt a pet, there are lots of dogs, cats, rabbits and guinea pigs waiting to find loving new homes at RSPCA Burwood East. Each year, more than 3,848 dogs and cats find second chances through our Burwood East adoption program.

Animal shelter

Our animal shelter offers many services, including providing refuge to stray, abandoned and unwanted animals. We also provide support to a selection of local councils, assisting with their pound services and run our emergency animal ambulances from here.

In the past year, RSPCA Burwood East, provided shelter to more than 15,851 animals, including many transported from our small shelter in Epping.
