PetRescue's Food and Product Donation Program
Helping Australia’s vulnerable pets
PetRescue's Food & Product Donation Program aims to provide a welcome reprieve to people and pets in need across Australia.
With the support of our pet-loving partners and supporters, PetRescue aims to deliver pet care products wherever they are needed the most for hundreds of PetRescue member organisations and community outreach organisations across Australia.
Who do we help?
PetRescue’s priority is to help people and pets that are most at-risk and organisations that are most in need of support when pet care products become available.
PetRescue prioritises allocation based on several factors, including:
-
Organisations reaching vulnerable or at-risk people & pets who have fewer avenues of support within their local community
-
Where the demand is most urgent at the time
-
Active PetRescue members
-
Type of product and quantities available at the time of donation
-
Accessibility, delivery hub storage capacity, and location.
How it Works
PetRescue’s Food & Product Donation Program distributes products where they’re needed most when they become available.
Donations of pet care products are not guaranteed and are gifted by PetRescue’s major partners and company supporters.
Distribution of pet care products is dependent on the factors which have been outlined in the section above. PetRescue’s donor companies often kindly pay for freight however they do provide logistical parameters for deliveries such as limiting deliveries to certain geographical areas or states, limiting the number of deliveries and more. The PetRescue team will always assess where the products may be needed most and where they will make the greatest positive impact.
To express interest in receiving pet care products please submit a request via the below form. Please note you do not have to be a PetRescue member to place a request, PetRescue also accepts requests from outreach organisations or community organisations.
