Pets Night In

Coinciding with National Pets Day, Pets Night In encourages pet owners to keep their dogs and cats inside at night when critically endangered western ringtail possums are most active. Pet owners can make a public pledge to keep their furry and feline friends inside or contained at night on the 11 April…and beyond!

Pets Away, Possums Play!

Make the pledge
