fix anything that needs to be fixed.
Our preference would always be to try and keep them with you if we can, as long as you can support them going on into the future.
I'd certainly reach out for help because sometimes there are some really, there's some quick fixes that you might not, you know, in all the stress of struggling, you might not realise that can be done.
And we know they're really good for you.
Like we've had some examples where people have come in and said, you know, this animal's, I can't keep this dog because I can't, it's just, it's not behaving itself.
And so we've missed the boat on training the animal.
Well, we can, you know, there's some lovely stories where we've said, well, what about if we help you with training the animal and we just get you back on track?
And that's a really good example too.
That's something that we didn't talk about earlier too, Owen, just in terms of having a new pet is setting yourself up for success is actually don't forget that socialisation and training and behaviour piece because having a well-behaved animal in your home and also if it's a dog out in the community is really valuable.
Now, some animals are... Some animals are...
You know, a bit like people, they might be more anxious than others and we always have to accommodate their needs out in the community.
But making sure that they can walk on a lead and that they are socialised with other animals is really helpful.
And if they're not, understanding their limitations so you don't put them under pressure.
Yeah, so I think through those knowledge-based articles that I know you're going to post, there's an abundance of information there.
And in addition to that, I'd really encourage people to contact their RSPCAs in their own states.
Animal welfare legislation and rules is pretty much the same across the country, but it is state-based.
So it's really helpful to go to your local RSPCA.
And they will always help you just to answer some questions or point you towards some resources that they can assist you with.
They'll also know what the local support networks look like that might be available in your areas.
I know that my colleagues in New South Wales run a really big community outreach program.
