OUR MISSION TOGETHER

About Save Animals Now website search and community
Save Animal now (SAN) is the heart & hub for wildlife rescue in Australia. Our exclusive purpose is to assist you and your community to find the fastest and most appropriate help for our remarkable and unique native wildlife. SAN's mission is to provide all the available direct contacts of carer's/rescuers and vets closest to YOU.

EVERY SECOND COUNTS. 

Most of us have encountered the heart wrenching & frustrating experience when faced with an injured animal only to wait anxiously for help to arrive. At times the animal has died in our care or we've watched it suffer.

SAN WILL CHANGE ALL OF THIS

When you find an animal suffering, all you want is a solution. SAN is a statewide online directory to provide this solution...... The life you are saving feels helpless......but you don't have to.

THIS IS HOW WE HELP YOU HELP THEM

  • Faster response times
  • A sense of unity, responsibility & community awareness for the animal in need, without the stress of feeling overwhelmed and helpless
  • Reduction in lost time calls which significantly restrict future and current rescue efforts
  • Inspiring the next generation as caregivers of our land, nature and all that resides in unison with us.
  • A significant reduction in animal suffering and euthanasia rates
  • Calling the right organisation ensures the animal gets the urgent care it needs, while also preventing valuable rescue resources from being tied up with misdirected calls.
WE'RE ONE. THEY NEED US. WE NEED THEM.
LET OUR VOICES BE LOUDER FOR THEM.

What should I do if I find an injured, sick or orphaned native animal?

Stay calm and safe. If the animal is not dangerous and you can safely approach it, gently place it in a secure, ventilated box lined with a towel or soft cloth. Keep it in a quiet, dark place. Do not attempt to feed or give water. Use our Wildlife Rescue Directory to find help nearby.

Use our national rescue directory to locate the nearest wildlife rescue group. Trusted 24/7 hotlines include Wildlife Rescue Australia (1300 596 457), WIRES (NSW – 1300 094 737), and RSPCA Emergency (1300 264 625). Local vets are also a good point of contact.

Only temporarily.. Most native animals require specific care and it’s illegal in many states to handle wildlife without a permit. Keep the animal safe and calm, and contact a licensed rescuer.

Use a well-ventilated box lined with soft cloth. Handle the animal as little as possible.
Do not feed or give water. Transport the animal to a vet or rescue service listed in our directory.

Pull over safely. If it’s safe, approach and check the animal. Look for joeys in pouches.
Call a rescue group using our directory or the 24/7 hotlines.

Please don’t. Feeding the wrong thing can be harmful. Contain the animal and seek professional advice before offering any food or water.

Many fledglings are learning to fly and don’t need help. If the bird is feathered and pare
nts are nearby, leave it be. If it’s unfeathered or clearly abandoned, call a wildlife rescuer

Complete training through a licensed organisation. You’ll need a permit and a commitment to care. Use our directory to find fantastic organisation and contact them through their preferred contact methods to learn more.

Have a rescue kit with a box or carrier, towels, gloves, a torch, and emergency contact numbers. It’s a small step that can save a life.

Stay away and do not attempt to handle them. Contact a licensed snake catcher or bat rescuer using our directory.

Animals are assessed, treated by vets, and rehabilitated by trained carers. The goal is always safe release into the wild.

Double-check suburb/postcode and animal type. If still stuck, contact your local vet via the google maps link on our site at the bottom of your search results.
