OUR AMBASSADORS

Justin Hill is one of Australia’s most recognisable entertainment reporters, known for his celebrity interviews, red carpet hosting, and podcasting. With a career spanning over a decade, Justin has interviewed global stars including Ariana Grande, Kim Kardashian, and Mariah Carey, and regularly appears across TV, radio, and digital platforms.

A proud dog dad, Justin has supported Sydney Dogs & Cats Home through community events with our partners and quickly fell in love with our cause. As a passionate advocate for animal welfare and the LGBTQIA+ community, Justin brings heart, energy, and a powerful voice to help shine a light on Sydney’s lost, abandoned, and neglected pets.

Adam & Natalie Goodes entered Sydney Dogs and Cats Home specifically looking to adopt an older dog... providing a second chance.  They left with Arlo, now known as Chance, who quickly became a cherished member of the family.  The Goodes understand the many benefits of adopting a senior pet and are the perfect ambassadors for our Senior Pet Project.  Established in 2018, the Senior Pet Project was created as a means not only to put a spotlight on these golden oldies entering the shelter to help with their rehoming, but also to raise the funds required for their much needed veterinary care and often prolonged stay at the Home.

Adopting two dogs from Sydney Dogs and Cats Home, Mia is a complete convert to providing a shelter pet with a loving home... ''Rescuing a pet is just the best, most soulful and deeply rewarding thing you can do. The joy it has brought to our lives is immeasurable".  As an ambassador Mia often promotes the work of Sydney Dogs and Cats Home, helping to raise funds and awareness for the care of Sydney's lost and abandoned pets via her media company, Mamamia.

Sam Mac is best known as the TV Weatherman on Channel 7's Sunrise, but his true passion lies in raising awareness and funds for animals in need of a second chance. Sam has proudly been a Sydney Dogs & Cats Home #Sambassador since 2015.

He was the host with the most at our annual Gala Dinners and famously adopted a beautiful blind feline, Cleocatra, who found her forever home with Sam after being in our care. Alongside her was Sam’s other beloved cat, Coco, who charmed the internet with her iconic RBF (Resting Bitch Face) and built a following of nearly 10,000 fans on Instagram.

Though both Cleocatra and Coco have sadly passed, their legacy lives on through Sam’s continued advocacy for rescue pets and the joy they brought to so many.

Peter Sharp is a multi-award winning pet photographer who volunteers more than one day a week to support the shelter pets in the care of Sydney Dogs and Cats Home.  Each week Peter travels more than an hour from Tame & Wild Studio to the shelter, where a larger dog kennel is converted into a makeshift photography studio.  Peter will spend the day working with and photographing the abandoned dogs, cats, bunnies and birds to create the stunning images which are without doubt the reason how many of these pets find their new loving homes.
