Yes it’s on once again! In what RSPCA Qld staff and volunteers admit without the slightest hint of embarrassment is a blatant rip off of the State of Origin series, the State of Adoption challenge has once again gone out to RSPCA NSW. This year Queensland is hoping to win an historic seven in a row!
The goal is to re-home as many animals as possible from the start of the first State of Origin game to the end of the last.
The toughly fought contest bears another striking resemblance to the State of Origin series with most of the adoptees having a bit of "the mongrel" in them!"Of course it’s a rip off on the whole concept but if we’re re-homing more animals then it’s all worthwhile," said RSPCA Qld spokesman Michael Beatty.
"We will start as the underdogs, (if you’ll pardon the pun), because Queensland has nine shelters, while NSW has twelve. But Queenslanders are used to that tag and it just stirs us on.
"Once they’ve seen the fantastic animals we have up for adoption, we know they’ll find their perfect match and for us the perfect match is Queensland winning by a cat’s whisker!"
