Bushfire Rescue

As we all remember the devastation caused by last years fires in Victoria please also consider that our WIRES Call Centre and our Wildlife Ambulances have been busier than ever this summer.

The number of animals in distress continues to rise. Our volunteer carers have their hands full and your help is appreciated in helping us to keep our services available.

WIRES relies on generous donations from the public to help us help wildlife. You can help directly by continuing to give generously.

This young joey was rescued after it was thrown out of its mother's pouch as she was fleeing from a bushfire.

Our wildlife needs your help every day.

Anchors Away

Diamond Python RescueThis juvenile diamond python was found tangled in the links of a yacht's anchor chain while moored at Newport, in Pittwater.

It would have been crushed when the anchor was pulled up, but the kind crew spotted it and immediately called WIRES.

WIRES North Shore member Dave Millett was called to remove the snake so the owners could use their boat. He rescued the 1 metre python and rowed it back to shore in a dinghy.

Successful RescueThe young python will be kept under observation and once given the all clear he will be released nearby.

To help WIRES volunteers like Dave continue to help our wildlife in need like this young diamond python please donate now.
