Unfortunately, like most rescues & shelters we are unable to accept stray animals directly from individuals. All strays that we take in have been transferred to us from pounds.

If you have a lost or found pet - please contact your local council. They will have after hours contacts on their website for animal rangers to support lost & found animals within that council. 

We understand that people may be hesitant to contact the council to retrieve an animal as they fear judgment or the outcome once the animal reaches the pound. Pounds are scary places for pets, but by law all strays must be taken to and held by the pound for a mandatory holding period. This is to give the owner time to find, and collect them.​

We don't have the capacity to coordinate surrendered animals, and we feel animals in pounds are most at risk so that is where we rescue from. If you need to surrender your animal, please consider the rehoming support above. Otherwise you can find a list of animal rescues below.

We don't have the necessary resources or training and can't legally accept wildlife. If you find sick or injured wildlife please get in contact with Wildlife Victoria below.

We have no legal ability or capacity to respond to cases of animal cruelty, if you encounter or witness animal cruelty please find the list of relevant agencies and who to call via RSPCA below.
