SavourLife and the Petbarn Foundation set ourselves a goal at the start of Rescue Month – to help 40 of our rescue partners save 400 pups from pounds. Rescue Month is crucial as it highlights the diverse range of pups – big, small, young, old, purebred, and perfect mutts – who face euthanasia at pounds across the country through no fault of their own.
We have partnered with Animal Welfare League Queensland’s (AWLQ) Community Vet Clinics (CVCs) to offer a targeted support fund for essential veterinary care to vulnerable pet owners in need.
Thanks to your support we have been able to donate these funds to our incredible rescue partners in an effort to save more lives, find more homes and create lasting change.
We recently got an update from the team after a very long journey transporting two newly adopted Dingoes to their new home at the Billabong Sanctuary in North Queensland.
The majority of our rescue partners are 100% volunteer run and need every bit of help they can get. This video featuring the incredible team from Hunter Valley Animal Facility and Rehoming Centre will give you an in depth look at what it's really like to be on the front lines of a rescue organisation saving lives.
We have awarded a grant of $50,000 to Forever Friends Animal Rescue to a set up of a kennel facility to save more lives especially helping staffies and larger dog breeds who are often left behind.
We have awarded an $8,000 Buddy's Grant to Little Legs Dog & Cat Rescue to support their Retiree Program helping their most vulnerable animals who, due to severe health issues, advanced age, or challenging behaviours, are deemed unsuitable for rehoming.
We have awarded a $20,000 Buddy's Grant to Friends of the Pound Tweed Heads to continue to operate their community Desexing Program aimed at reducing pet overpopulation and improving animal welfare in the Tweed Heads Area.
We have awarded a $15,000 Buddy's Grant to Animal Rescue Tablelands to build a new multipurpose day yard for their shelter dogs!
