About Us
Who we are
When people come to see us at any time of the day or night, they are often entering the Adelaide Animal Emergency and Referral Centre with their best friend who is very sick or injured. We understand that this can be a distressing time and that pet owners are seeking relief, hope and a solution to their best mates’ problems. We are here for them. We are here for you.
We are a group of people, passionate about animals, working for a proudly Australian owned company, where the drive to work every day comes from a calling. A calling to help those who can’t help themselves, the magnificent animals of our wonderful planet earth.
“If having a soul means being able to feel love and loyalty and gratitude, then animals are better off than a lot of humans”
– James Herriot
