Adoption events
Getting rescue pets into 100+ stores nationwide
Many rescue pets are located in out-of-the-way shelters, or in foster carers’ homes, so by organising and promoting adoption events, we can give rescue pets the perfect opportunity to meet families looking to adopt.
We’ve helped to promote in-store and community adoption events all over Australia. And since 2015, we’ve partnered with PETstock to bring National Pet Adoption Day to more than 100 PETstock stores, helping to find loving homes for hundreds of rescue pets every year.
We also assist rescue groups, shelters and pounds in partnering with their local PETstock store to run adoption days throughout the year.
Community awareness
Putting rescue pets into the media
By leveraging sponsorships and partnerships with major national brands, such as PEDIGREE, PETstock, Woolworths and Sensis, we’re able to secure thousands of dollars worth of free media every month to reach millions of Australians - encouraging them to adopt their next pet.
Our ultimate goal is to get just 1 in 5 people looking for a pet to adopt and save the lives of all homeless pets left unclaimed in Australia’s pounds.
