The Lost Dogs’ Home has close to three-hundred staff, across six shelters in three states. Their passion in providing care to lost, sick and injured cats and dogs and dedication to improving animal welfare can be seen in the incredible work they do in and outside of our shelters.

Today on Pets-A-Loud, we are joined by one of the Home’s veterinarians, Dr Caroline Cook, who has volunteered as a vet for two weeks in the Animal Welfare Program run by the East Arnhem Land Shire Council.

Dr Cook gives us an insight into the challenges the program has faced, and the milestones it has achieved with improving the welfare of companion animals in East Arnhem Land. To find out more about the Animal Welfare Program visit www.eastarnhem.nt.gov.au. If you are an experienced vet or vet nurse and would like to find out how you can volunteer, contact Dr Emma Kennedy.
