Labor has announced a $20 million animal welfare package which will deliver a swathe of new dog parks and more support to give beloved pets the care they need if re-elected at the November election.
Labor will invest $13.4 million to build six new dog parks across the state – and upgrade up to 22 dog parks – giving local families and their pets more spaces to enjoy.
“We said we’d ban puppy farming in Victoria and give renters the right to keep a pet, and we have. Now, we’ll do even more to keep our family pets and animals safe, happy and healthy,” Premier Daniel Andrews said.
An invest of $2 million will be made to support low-cost vet clinics to ensure all pets can get the treatment they need.
A further $5 million will be given to the the Animal Welfare Fund, supporting pet shelters, animal rescue and rehoming organisations.
