South Australia

Meet our hero dog, Clifford Woof woof! I’m Clifford, and I’m wagging my tail with glee after being selected as the hero dog for Million Paws Walk’s 21st birthday. I love a party and I cannot wait to celebrate with all of my new furry friends on the 20th May. Unfortunately, I didn’t always have a party vibe. Only a few years ago I was in shocking condition, mistreated and neglected by my owners. When kind RSPCA Inspector Shelly found me, she said I was “just days from death”, as I was extremely skinny. I required vet care and observation to get me back to the healthy dog I am today. Even though I was rescued by Inspector Shelly over two years ago, my owners were only recently found guilty and convicted of animal cruelty, after a long and hard-fought court battle. I’m so grateful to know that my former owners can never own another animal. "Getting the animal out of that situation is only a small part of what we do. Our Inspectors and legal department work relentlessly after that animal is safe, sometimes for YEARS to ensure the most appropriate outcome" said Inspector Shelly. Thanks to RSPCA South Australia, I now live in a loving forever home and I am so excited to go to Million Paws Walk. Fundraising for this year’s Million Paws Walk will help Inspector Shelly and all of my friends at RSPCA South Australia to ensure animals like me receive the care we deserve. I can’t wait to see you there!
