In response to the devastating recent floods in Northern New South Wales, our team mobilised quickly to support pet owners and their beloved animals in some of the hardest-hit communities.
Over the course of eight days, we held four Community Relief Points across the region — in Kempsey, Taree, Raworth, and Wingham — offering animal health advice, assistance and vital pet supplies to those in need.
At each location, our team met members of the community who love their pets very much. We listened to their stories and helped make sure their beloved animals had what they needed — food, bedding, leads, carriers and health advice. We distributed many pallets of supplies, each one hoping to bring a bit of hope and care during a difficult time.
We provided on-the-spot animal health advice and compassionate guidance to pet owners trying to navigate the challenges with their beloved companions by their side.
Throughout it all, we offered support and kindness, knowing how strong the bond between people and their animals can be, especially during tough times.
It was a reminder that in the darkest of times, the human to animal bond can be a source of incredible strength, and that compassion is a vital part of emergency recovery.
To every staff member and volunteer who stepped up to make this possible — thank you. Your quick action, empathy, and unwavering commitment made a real and lasting difference to so many lives.
A special thanks to our friends at Petbarn Foundation and Animal Rescue Cooperative for their kind donations.
