Saving lives by giving councils, vets and shelters the tools to rehome pets directly.
Getting more councils on board using PetRescue's free adoption platform to advertise pets for adoption is crucial in keeping pets safe. Without this opportunity, pets impounded by councils may be invisible to the publiand might never get a second chance. Digital rehoming via PetRescue’s adoption platform gives councils and shelters access to a much bigger community of adopters (including the possibility of interstate adoptions) while reducing the burden on rescue groups at capacity.
PetRescue’s Safe & Sound Pets community includes council shelters across the country who are giving homeless pets the best chance to find love through PetRescue's adoption platform.
7,785 pets were marked as adopted by 64 councils on the PetRescue platform in the 2024-2025 financial year (with an average time to adoption of just 11 days!). But there’s more work to do. Thanks to your support, we’ll continue to work one-on-one with the Local Government community to change the future for pets.
Collaboration for Impact
Through PetRescue's Safe & Sound Pets program, together, we’re working to reduce the preventable deaths of pets within the animal management and sheltering system. Facility by facility, and person by person, we are here to support Australian council teams to break down barriers standing in the way of implementing progressive, life-saving animal management programs.
