 PetRescue is a not-for-profit organization that finds new homes for lost and abandoned pets. They believe every homeless pet deserves the chance to find a new loving family, but with rescue groups across the country struggling to feed and care for animals, many pets miss out on homes simply because nobody knows they are available. Through the PetRescue website it is easy for potential adopters to find and save a rescue pet. It is the largest online, search able directory of rescue pets in Australia, making it a hub for rescue groups, pet lovers and friends. More than 10,000 pets find homes each year thanks to their PetRescue listings. |

 Friends of the Pound is a non-profit charitable organization, dependent solely on donations and the fund-raising efforts of our volunteers. Our primary purposes are to re-home abandoned animals and to improve conditions at the Pound. We also promote the importance of responsible pet ownership and slowly, but surely, hope to lessen the increasing number of homeless animals, particularly through encouraging the desexing of animals to reduce the appalling numbers of unwanted pets. |
