RSPCA Buys Resort

The RSPCA is buying the Tradewinds Park Pet Resort at Woodburn, which it will continue to operate as a first class pet boarding resort. RSPCA CEO Bernie Murphy said that the profits from pet boarding will be used to establish an animal shelter on adjoining land.

"The purchase is expected to be finalised in early February," he said. "The new shelter, when completed in 12- 18 months time, will support the work of the RSPCA in the area as will the recent appointment of a full-time inspector for the region."

Mr Murphy said Inspector Peter Bartley will be based at Lismore to cover the far north coast.

We in the nth rivers are in urgent need of help, "ARRG "save animals from several pounds in that area, Grafton has "Happy Paws" who are full up and in great need of support and "Grafton Animal Rescue" ( though we now can only help with desexing and some kittens/cats).

What happened here, where is the shelter?, who tendered for the lease of TWs?.

I wondered it the RSPCA still owned TW after I saw the for sale advert too !!!!

When it was purchased they indicated "the profits from pet boarding would be used to establish an rspca shelter" - never happened.

There is no RSPCA facility between Tweed Heads and Coffs Harbour!!!!!!! The Tweed facility can not have dogs overnight so it is very small.

No - they are selling it after having it for several years

When it was purchased they indicated "the profits from pet boarding would be used to establish an rspca shelter" - never happened.

Do you mean they already own it ? Was that an old news article?

The rspca bought TWs some years ago with the promise that they would open up a shelter on the same property, useing the income generated from the boarding Kennel, it never happened!.

The rspca ran it for awhile then leased it out privately ( was there a public tender?).

The rspca still own the property ( house/kennels) but not the bussiness?.

Just makes me VERY angry that the rescue groups up this way would have killed for the chance to lease and run this facility both as a boarding kennel and a rescue centre, Im sure with proper managerment we could have made it work, but as far as I know the public were never made aware that the rspca had let TWs out.

Can anyone lend us $1.85 mill?
