About Us
About Our Shelter
We rescue, rehabilitate and release animals back where they belong – their natural habitat.
Our goal is the preservation of Australia’s wildlife and natural environment.
We will continue working to become a self sustaining organisation operating out of a state-of-the-art facility. We will support the community, educate the public and build relationships to ensure no unnecessary harm comes to native animals.Β
Our work is vital. At Mosswood we receive no ongoing government funding to operate. We rely on the generosity of our extended community to fund our daily operations. This includes the feeding, medical treatments and essential care that takes place every day at our centre. All donations made to Mosswood Wildlife over $2 are tax deductible.
