Opened during the Great Depression to provide treatment to animals of the poor, Melbourne's Lort Smith Animal Hospital has always owed its survival to the kindness of strangers. In this title, the stories, history, intrigues and historical photographs bring the story of a special institution to life.
The poignant story behind the Lort Smith Animal Hospital, and the women who were its driving force. Based on a desire to alleviate the suffering of animals irrespective of profits, this group of society women established the Animal Welfare League of Victoria, and then the Lort Smith Animal Hospital. Staging fundraisers, fighting battles, and dealing with the intricacies of human relationships along the way, these inspiring women – supported by the kindness of strangers – ensured that the plight of animals was not forgotten during the struggling years of the Depression.
