RSPCA Queensland wrapped 2025: Your compassion, on repeat

Spoiler alert: it's one we're incredibly proud of.

This year, 42,818 animals turned to RSPCA Queensland for help and you were right there with us.

From dumped puppies to injured wildlife, every rescue tells a story of your compassion in action!

That’s a lot of lives changed – and it simply wouldn’t happen without our community behind us.

Sometimes spinning a message on repeat helps to drive change, and this year you stood with us to give animals a voice. 

In 2025, we continued our advocacy work to drive long-term change for animals, using evidence, collaboration and community support to influence the issues that matter most.

Some standout moments:

• Shining a spotlight on the impact of deforestation on native animals, including koalas like Maximus
• Advocating for improvements to the Breeder Identification Number system to help curb puppy farming
• Speaking out against lethal shark control measures, while supporting effective, non-lethal alternatives
• Launching our Queensland election scorecard, helping voters understand where parties stood on key animal welfare issues

Summer brought another challenging season of paralysis syndrome, stretching our teams and resources, but care never stopped for our lorikeets and flying foxes.

If there’s one thing this year reinforced, it’s that impact is a team effort.

• 3,140 volunteers donated an incredible 328,891 hours of their time.
• 71,882KGS of Op Shop donations were saved from landfill this year. That’s a dozen African elephants!
• 57,513 kind donors were our top RSPCA Queensland fans!

Some of the most meaningful moments don’t always make headlines – but they matter deeply.

• 166 pets were kept safe through our Pets in Crisis program, supporting people escaping domestic and family violence
• 565 pets received care and support through our Community Outreach – People and Pets program

Because helping animals also means supporting the people who love them.

If we had to describe RSPCA Queensland 2025 Wrapped in a few words?

Impact that lasts through compassion and community. 

Every rescue, adoption, investigation or donation reflects something bigger – a shared commitment to creating a kinder future for all animals across Queensland.

Here’s to another year of showing up for animals… together.

Thanks to our top fans right across Queensland helping to make this happen!
