Donate the gift of life to dogs in Australian rescues and animal shelters
While you’re enjoying the festivities of the Christmas Season with your fur family, why not consider helping animal shelters and rescue organisations look after and find homes for other less fortunate dogs?
Many dog lovers would be more than happy to take the time out to volunteer or for donations to be made on their behalf to animal charities. There’s no better gift to give or receive than knowing that you’ve helped contribute to Australia’s efforts to give all adoptable and rescue dogs a forever home.
