Should pets be allowed in Australian aged care homes? 🏡

New findings from Companion Animal Network Australia’s (CANA) 2025 Pet Friendly Aged Care Survey have revealed 96% of people believe residents should be allowed to have an animal companion, but only 18% of facilities in Australia allow them.

CEO of CANA, a national animal welfare charity and advocacy group, Trish Ennis told 891 ABC Radio Adelaide’s Nikolai Beilharz as Australia’s population ages, keeping people and pets together is essential to maintaining both physical and mental health.

“The emotional harm of being forced to give up a beloved animal is profound. Older Australians shouldn’t have to choose between care and companionship,” she said.

Tune in to Drive with Nikolai Beilharz 3pm-6pm weekdays on 891AM ABC Radio Adelaide or on the ABC listen app: https://bit.ly/AdelaideRadioLive

I was left outside for years — through storms, through winters, through nights so quiet I could hear my own heart breaking. 💔
When the other dog hurt me, I didn’t even cry. I just closed my eyes and wished for it all to end.

Then one day… soft hands reached for me. They didn’t pull, or hit, or yell. They lifted me up and whispered, “You’re safe now, Bruno.”
They gave me a little toy shaped like my missing ear — and I carried it everywhere, like hope I could finally hold. 🧸

Now I sleep on warm blankets. Someone tells me I’m loved every night. For the first time, I’m not waiting to be rescued — I’m home. ❤️
