During World Laboratory Animal Week (24-30 April, 2023), we ask for your support to raise the funds we need to operate for another year. We rely solely on donations and paid memberships to continue our work, providing a soft landing for the precious animals who are wanting to start a new life in the community after their time in a research facility.
You can make a donation by credit card using the form below, or make a donation via PayPal here. All donations of $2 or more are tax deductible.
Alternatively you can make a bid at our Great Quilt Auction. All proceeds will go towards our fundraising appeal. You can bid online for any of our original handmade animal quilts!
A bit more about where your donations go…
There are literally thousands of animals who could find a home in the community that are still being euthanised in research facilities throughout Australia. We provide homes for around 100-150 of these animals each year, including dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, rats, mice and fish.
Of course, we wish we could do more. But as a small charity we focus on the big wins. We celebrate the life of every animal who comes through our doors, we know we’re providing the gateway to a new life. We focus on providing the highest quality care to our animals in foster and really take the time to match our animals with the most suitable adoptive homes.
Thanks to your support, we have rehomed more than 600 animals from research since we started back in 2017.
Animals like Princess who was rehomed with Wendy and is relishing her life as a treasured companion. She has her best friend from the research facility, Trudi, by her side as they take their daily walks, play outdoors and nap together on the lounge!
If you have ever thought about the fate of animals used in research and wanted to support them, please consider giving what you can. You can also volunteer with us as a foster carer or offer your services in other ways. Just visit the “Get Involved” page of our website today.
This year we have something a bit different for our supporters. We know how passionate many of you are about your animal companions, so we’re offering some beautiful handmade quilted blankets for auction. If you’re a dog or cat lover, rat fancier or a guinea pig mum or dad, there’s something on offer for everyone. Visit our Great Quilt Auction page for more information and best of luck!
Thank you so much for your support!
