Shelters & Rescues in Chidlow

Looking to adopt, foster, or support local animal welfare in Chidlow? Here you’ll find a list of shelters, rescue groups, and adoption centers dedicated to helping animals in your community.

Established in 1991 as the first property of the Australian Wildlife Conservancy (AWC), Karakamia Wildlife Sanctuary is a landmark for conservation in Western Australia. This 275-hectare sanctuary is completely enclosed by a specialized feral-proof fence. This allows endangered native mammals to thrive in a predator-free environment that mimics the Australian bush as it was 200 years ago. 

Services offered

• Guided Night Walks: The sanctuary’s signature experience. These two-hour spotlight tours allow visitors to see rare, nocturnal mammals like Woylies and Tammar Wallabies in their natural habitat.
• Wildlife Protection & Reintroduction: A safe haven for critically endangered species, including the Woylie (Brush-tailed Bettong), Quenda, and Western Ringtail Possum.
• Habitat Restoration: Ongoing management of Jarrah forest, granite outcrops, and wetlands to support over 260 plant species.
• Educational Tours: Specialized visits for schools and universities to learn about biodiversity and feral predator control.
• Volunteering Opportunities: Programs for those looking to assist in land management and conservation research.

The shelters and rescue groups in Chidlow are working every day to care for animals in need—and they can't do it alone. Whether you choose to adopt, foster, volunteer, or donate, your support helps save lives and build a more compassionate community.
