From February 1, all the RSPCA’s Queensland regional care centres – including the Kingaroy shelter – will change their opening hours from 10:00am to 5:00pm seven days a week.
“After local consultation we’ve found that these new hours will more adequately reflect community needs and hopefully will result in more animals finding new homes,” RSPCA Qld spokesperson Michael Beatty said.
Previously most regional centres opened at 8:30am and closed at 4:00pm.
“The new hours will give people the opportunity of coming in after school hours and of course make it easier for people reclaiming animals to come in after work.”
