We are so sorry, but we struggle for carers for medium to large dogs. You will have more chance of success with us if you are able to hold them for a length of time or until they are rehomed. If you need your medium to large dog moved this week, we are very unlikely to be able to help.
We cannot take on dogs with aggression issues, as distinct from on-leash reactivity.
Because of our huge expenses with our dogs, we will also have to consider the vetwork status of your dog.
We must process and place those dogs/cats we have kennelled, and currently committed to take, into care as our first priority.
Note: We will always give special consideration to senior dogs in distress.
Surrender
If you need to surrender a pet, please complete the relevant form below. Please read the information in the form thoroughly. We may request a surrender fee from you, depending on the circumstances of surrender. Please include at least one good photo of your pet for us, as it helps us in placing them.
Please note, we are a small group of volunteers and will try to help where we can, but we have a limited number of foster carers. All of our pets are placed in the private homes of our foster carers, or if we do not have a carer available, in rare circumstances we may use private boarding kennels. This is on a case by case basis.
Pets in Crisis Program
We run a Pets in Crisis program to assist people at risk of losing their pets. This may be because of homelessness, domestic violence, mental health issues or emergency hospital treatment. We need a referral from a professional such as a social worker, mental health specialist, or similar in order for us to help. There is a general fee of $10 a day. But this may be waived in cases of financial hardship.
We can only assist where we have foster carers available, as we look after these pets in a foster carer’s home and also pay for any necessary vetwork. Occasionally we may kennel a dog or cat. If you need assistance, please complete the form below and we will be in touch as soon as we can.
