Inspectorate and Shelter Update – RSPCA NSW In Urgent Need of Foster Carers after 206 Animals, Including 205 Guinea Pigs Surrendered from Northern Tablelands Property

On Tuesday 10 December 2024, at a property in the Northern Tablelands, a team of RSPCA NSW Inspectors, members of the NSW Police Force, NSW Fire Brigade Hazmat Unit and Glen Innes Local Council executed a search warrant, in response to animal welfare concerns.

An RSPCA NSW Veterinarian and two Animal Transport Officers were also in attendance.

A total of 206 animals - 205 guinea pigs and one kitten, were removed from the property.

All animals have been surrendered to RSPCA NSW, where they are undergoing veterinary assessment and receiving treatment as needed.

This is part of an ongoing cruelty investigation.

We are urgently calling on the community to help us with the hundreds of guinea pigs currently in our care. If you have the capacity to become a foster carer, please click here to sign up:

The decision to look for a new puppy to add to your home is such an exciting time. Unfortunately, it is sometimes the easiest part of the process, because as soon as you start to do some research you discover that there are recommendations sprouting up from everywhere and there are SO. MANY. WORDS.

All the advertising says the same things, but nothing seems consistent. So, why do we recommend avoiding Border Collies that are cross-bred with another breed? What does it really mean when we talk about 'purebred' dogs, they look like Border Collies? What's a pedigree, what actually are 'papers' and why are they important? And why is everyone always giving different information about 'registered breeders', it's confusing and how do we check that they're legit?
