The volunteers who saved hundreds of Kempsey lives in 2022

Published on 19 December 2022

Three hundred and fifteen animals have been saved this year due to the combined work of the Kempsey Shire Council’s rangers and Friends of Kempsey Pound.

Of the 315 animals coming into Kempsey Shire Council’s care a total of 231 animals were welcomed into the loving temporary homes of volunteers from Friends of Kempsey Pound, while arrangements could be made for their adoption or rescue.

Aaron Bray, Team Leader Rangers, is grateful for the level of support received by Friends of Kempsey Pound, a group founded by Marion Crowley and made up of dedicated volunteers from all around the shire, 

‘Kempsey Pound is able to be a ‘no-kill’ pound thanks to the work of Friends of Kempsey Pound and its carers.”

‘This year an astounding 231 animals were taken into foster care by volunteers from Friends of Kempsey Pound, with 32 being safely returned home and 43 finding their forever homes. Many more animals passed through the care of Friends of Kempsey Pound and onto rescues."

Mr Bray is proud of the work done this year in saving so many animals.

"A big thank you goes to all Friends of Kempsey Pound’s carers and to the Rangers team."

"If you can volunteer or support this organisation in any way, please get in touch with them so they can continue their wonderful work."
