I'm a huge animal lover and quite a few times I have seen an animal on the side of a road injured and needing medical help.its obvious the first thing to do is ring wildlife centers.however after around 9 pm most shelters or vets aren't open and those that are don't drive to you. If you don't have a vehicle it is often hard to get them to where they are accepted. I believe there should be at least one after hours Rescue centre in at least a 10 k radius.what do people think?

I have worked in the animal industry and cruely it boils down to funds . As hard as it is that is what the work revolves around . Without funds or donations it's very hard to have and keep open wildlife shelters as many of the workers are volunteers

It depends on the area and the type of animal. We have a 24 koala rescue phone number as well as a 24/7 wildlife hospital. Our local council also has 24/7 wildlife rescue. There are a couple of vets with links to an afterhours animal emergency service however I'm not sure of the full details of this.

I am a member of a rescue / rehoming / rehabilitation group for working breeds of dogs (kelpie, ACD, BC, Koolie etc) and we have various members spread down the eastern states of Australia.

There are also Facebook pages for lost and found dogs & cat mainly (sometimes horses) which we find in our area is extremely successful.
