At Sydney Dogs & Cats Home, our mission is to reunite, rehome, and rehabilitate every treatable animal that enters our care, no matter how long it takes. We’re their safe haven when no one else is there, and unlike some shelters, we never place a time limit on any rehomable animal as they wait for a new family.
But supporting these animals is costly. From vital medical care and nutritious food to cozy bedding, treats, toys, and specialised training - every step in their recovery puts pressure on our resources.
While we're working hard to build a permanent shelter to support even more animals in the future, we also need to ensure we can continue to cover the everyday needs of the animals in our care right now.
With rising costs, we can’t do it alone. Your support will provide the love and care they need today, while helping us create a brighter future for generations of pets to come.
With your help today we can wrap them in love from rescue to recovery.
This festive season, you can be part of an animal’s rescue story.
While most people don’t have the time to volunteer at our shelter, we’ve made it possible for every person with a heart for animals to be part of the mission to see Sydney’s lost and abandoned pets happy, healthy and thriving again.
A donation of any amount today will go toward providing shelter, food, urgent vet care and rehabilitation that gets these pets in need off the street, back on their paws and ready to meet their new families. It’s incredible what your gift can do!
Some days it’s hard to keep waiting, especially when I see other dogs leave for their forever homes.
Every time someone walks by me without stopping, I feel a little more hopeless. People see me—a big Staffy—and think I’m tough or scary. But if they only knew… I’m really just a big softie who loves cuddles and being close.
Thankfully the team at Sydney Dogs & Cats Home has been amazing. They tell me I’m sweet, smart, and worthy of love. They’ve taught me how to be brave and hopeful, even on days when I feel overlooked.
Their kindness has shown me that maybe, just maybe, my special someone is out there too. Until then, I’ll keep waiting patiently, knowing that Sydney Dogs & Cats Home will be by my side until the day I finally find a home of my own.”
Hey, I’m Mr. Darcy, a rather dashing Domestic Medium Hair, wouldn’t you agree?
I arrived at Sydney Dogs & Cats Home a little scruffy—filthy, matted, and nursing a nasty abscess on my neck that had burst, exposing blood vessels.
The team jumped in with emergency care, daily cleanings, and even a few surgeries to help me heal.
Despite it all, I’m as charming as ever, making air biscuits every time I hear ‘good boy’ (and yes, I’m a bit food-obsessed!).
Thanks to Sydney Dogs & Cats Home, I’m getting my second chance at life and can’t wait to be back to my handsome self soon!”
When I first arrived at Sydney Dogs & Cats Home, I took some time to come out of my shell. Life had been tough, and I felt lost and anxious, especially around other dogs. My background? Let’s just say I came from a “ruff” crowd—linked to a backyard breeder who didn’t exactly believe in puppy love.
But my friends at Sydney Dogs & Cats Home never gave up on me! They taught me new tricks (I can even open doors!), let me chase all the soccer balls, and helped me discover the joy of snuggles.
Having a total of three foster carers while I healed, they always found me a home.
After 403 days, my last foster family couldn’t bear to let me go. Now, I’ve found my forever family, and let me tell you—it’s a bone-afide match!
