Help Us Build a New Home for our Furry Friends
Evicted from our old home due to site redevelopment and now working from temporary facilities, we need a new home. By building a state-of-the-art shelter in Kurnell, we can help over 3,000 animals each year - more than double our current intake. We can be there for even more dogs and cats, kittens and puppies, who are waiting to join their forever homes!
Fostering a Rescue Pet: Making a Temporary Difference That Lasts a Lifetime
Love pets but not ready to commit to one for life? Check out how you can be a foster carer, instead – and help out an animal in need. For many animals, entering a shelter environment can be overwhelming and stressful. Fostering offers these pets a chance to escape the confines of a kennel and experience the comforts of a home environment.
Common Plants Toxic to Pets
When it comes to the health and safety of our furry friends, pet owners go to great lengths to provide a safe and loving environment.

Here’s a guide to some of the most common toxic plants that could be lurking in your home or yard.

Here are some tips and guidelines to help foster safe interactions and build strong bonds.

Tips to Add Fun to Your Dog's Day
Are you looking for ideas to make your furry friend’s life better? We lead busy lives and often it’s necessary for us to be away from home for long periods. But just like us, dogs like to be kept entertained and can easily become bored without enough to do leading to unwanted and destructive behaviours.
Back to Work or School Routine for a Happy Dog
As the back-to-school or return-to-work season approaches, families experience a shift in their household routines. It’s time to start setting early alarms, packing school lunches and leaving the house quiet during the day. Your dog’s daily routine also will change, and they will be home alone more.
Top Tips for Caring for Senior Pets
Senior pets, especially senior rescue pets, can be some of the most loving and loyal companions you’ll ever have.

Caring for senior pets requires some special attention and understanding to ensure their golden years are comfortable and happy. Here are our top tips for taking care of senior rescue pets.
