Huge support for Animal Rescue DA

Flame staff report

A Helensburgh animal rescue service, Country Companion Animal Rescue (CCAR), has received overwhelming support online for a Development Application to add to its existing facilities.

The DA includes provision for two more kennels and dog exercise yards, as well as an amendment to current conditions in order to increase the number of dogs able to be boarded on the site.

CCAR’s Julie-ann Ehrlich has been rescuing animals for 20 years and, in that time, she has been responsible for rescuing and rehoming countless animals.

And Illawarra locals have thrown their full support behind Julie-ann as evidenced by numerous online comments to Wollongong City Council about the DA. Below is a small selection of those positive comments …

Paul Johns wrote: “These people do fantastic work. The care of these animals is a 24/7 job which is testament to their dedication and commitment. Without them these animals would stand little to no chance of living a happy and healthy life. Please let them carry on with their incredible work.”

Natasha Watson commented: “An organisation that does an amazing & essential job in rescuing and re-homing animals – with no environmental or negative social impact.”

Erin Smith wrote: “CCAR do amazing work rescuing and rehoming animals that would otherwise be killed. Please approve this request so they can continue their good work.”
