Logan City Council has renewed its sponsorship deal with the city's animal ambulance service.
The Logan Animal Ambulance Service, which has rescued more than 6000 patients across the city over the past two years, will get $74,500 from council to continue its work.
The yearly deal would have expired on June 30.
The 24-hour service, operated by the RSPCA, rescues mostly native animals, with just six per cent of callouts for domestic creatures.
The service was established in January 2013, rescuing sick, injured and orphaned wildlife as well as other animals.
City Lifestyle Committee chair, Laurie Koranski, said since its inception, the Logan Animal Ambulance service had proven popular within the community.
"This has led to a significant increase in the number of wildlife rescues performed in Logan," Cr Koranski said.
"We are proud to partner with the RSPCA as they are able to deliver a co-ordinated and broad regional service.
"This includes providing a consistent State-wide 1300ANIMAL rescue phone number and networking with all wildlife and animal carer organisations.
"The RSPCA is also resourced and equipped with skilled and qualified staff, such as vets and rescue personnel, and has access to an animal hospital, 24-hour call centre and emergency/surgery facilities.
"Our partnership provides many benefits to both organisations.
"It allows us to see the movement of wildlife in our city and gives us valuable data we can use to support the welfare of these animals.
"We are also able to educate our residents on wildlife issues through collaborative educational services."
