Operation Safe Paws was developed to provide free, accessible desexing for dogs of disadvantaged or vulnerable pet owners, reducing the number of unwanted litters and improving long-term health outcomes for much loved companions.
We're very proud to support Maggie's Rescue's Community Outreach Desexing Program! This Program offers subsidised desexing and microchipping for families in need of a helping paw. The aim is to reduce and prevent unwanted companion animals in NSW, increase the chances of dogs returning home if they become lost and support families who may not have the financial means to desex the dogs they love and care for.
Guardian Angel Animal Rescue (GARR) was awarded a grant of $7,000 to support their training program in Two Wells, SA.

Their philosophy is to provide dogs with a safe and loving space before they are ready to move into their forever home.
