17,026 animals across the country in need of Guardian Angels

RSPCA is urgently seeking Guardian Angels to help provide safety and care for the 17,026 animals spending the festive season in shelters nationally.

“Christmas is one of the busiest times of the year for RSPCA shelters, with thousands of dogs, cats, pocket pets, birds, and livestock in our care waiting for a better future,” said Phoebe Brasher, RSPCA NSW Senior Manager of Fundraising.

To be a Guardian Angel is to give the gift of hope and kindness to the thousands of animals in our care who have finding their forever family on the top of their wish list.”

Sign-up to become a Guardian Angel and your compassion will provide love, care, and support to an animal in need.

  • $30.00 could help provide a homeless cat with a warm bed, litter tray, and toys this Christmas.
  • $58.00 can help rehabilitate an abandoned or abused dog, helping them trust humans again.
  • $77.00 could help pay for the transport of animals between shelters to maximise their hopes of adoption.
  • $200.00 can provide vaccinations and microchips for animals living in remote and regional areas without access to veterinary care.

Become a Guardian Angel and provide Potato with shelter and round-the-clock care while she waits to meet her perfect forever family.

All Guardian Angels receive a thank you from one of the many animals they are supporting with their gift, like Potato the Rescuoodle, as well as a link to their profile so you can learn more about them.

Potato is a Staffordshire Bull Terrier puppy who is currently awaiting her forever home at the RSPCA NSW Hunter Shelter. Through becoming a Guardian Angel, you can give her the most incredible gift – hope.
