Geelong Animal Rescue (GAR) commenced in 2012, is a 100% not-for-profit organisation run entirely by unpaid volunteers and is registered with the Australian Charities Not-for-profit Commission (ACNC).
GAR rescues at least one unwanted animal from death row across Victorian pounds every second day.
On arrival, every GAR animal is vet checked and treated, microchipped, desexed, vaccinated, fed, treated for fleas & worms, trained where necessary and above all, given lots of love in preparation for future adoption.
Whilst GAR works with GAWS (the pound in Moolap) and 10 other pounds across the state, GAR and GAWS are very different.
GAR is not a pound, but instead operates from within the homes of its 150+ local volunteers, has no on-site veterinary care, no paid staff and receives no government funding.
To date, GAR has rescued over 1 700 cats and dogs at a cost of over $1 000 000.
