HELP GET DOGS OFF THE WAITLIST

In just two weeks, 17 dogs came into Pet Refuge care needing safety from family violence. Now, at least six more are waiting for a Safe Bed.

For a dog on the waitlist, every day waiting can mean another day at risk of harm.

Your donation today will help fund the Safe Bed Nights and care pets need to get off the waitlist, away from danger and into safety.

YOURGIFTCANHELPAPETREACHSAFETY.

FOR SOME FAMILIES, THEIR PET'S SAFETY CAN BE THE REASON THEY STAY.

53% of women experiencing family violence delayed leaving out of fear for their pets.

Pets can be threatened, harmed or used as a tool of coercion and control. And because most refuges and emergency accommodation can't take pets, leaving can mean having to leave a beloved pet behind.

Pet Refuge provides temporary shelter and care for pets while their families escape family violence, so they don't have to choose between their own safety and their pet's.

YOUR GIFT PROVIDES MORE THAN A SAFE BED

Every pet comes to Pet Refuge with different needs. Some have experienced violence themselves. Some are frightened or traumatised. Others arrive needing veterinary treatment or specialised care.
