Step inside the Mornington Peninsula's newly transformed Community Animal Shelter and you'll feel it right away - this is a place where every whisker, paw, and wagging tail is met with love.
Leesa McCann, our Community Animal Shelter Operations Supervisor, guides us through the space, sharing the care, attention, and heart her team pours into every animal's day.
From the moment a stray cat arrives in the intake room to the gentle introductions in the canine connection space, the shelter has been designed with animal wellbeing at its heart.
Dogs enjoy spacious kennels with underfloor heating in winter and cool floors in summer, while pocket pets like guinea pigs and rabbits have their own comfortable enclosures.
But what truly makes this shelter special is the people.
Leesa and her team greet each animal with gentle hands and patient hearts, from careful grooming to playtime in the canine connection room, helping every animal feel safe, cared for, and seen. They don't just care for the animals - they nurture hope, giving each one a chance to find a family that will love them forever.
Take a virtual tour with Leesa and see for yourself how dedication and compassion transform a shelter into a true home.
