I'm fundraising to...

help homeless pets find their best friend and furever home!

Six and a half years ago, I fell in love with a tiny brindle puppy I found on PetRescue’s website (surprise, it was Arlo!) Her profile had the sweetest photos & information about her personality, and once we organised a meet & greet I immediately knew I had found the dog for me. Luckily, the universe agreed, and I was able to begin my journey with little miss Arlo. Ever since, we have grown an inseparable bond and I could not imagine my life without her. She has now been there to share in all of our big life moments (moving out, getting engaged, building our first home and now getting married!), and we wouldn’t want it any other way. 

This September, as a way to say thanks, Arlo & I will be taking part in PetRescue’s ‘Best Friend Walk’ to help fundraise and raise awareness for pets in need! 

When it launched in 2004, the PetRescue website was the first of its kind in Australia, and since then, it has been the connection for over 860,000 rescue pets and their new families. 

PetRescue’s adoption platform gives pets the best chance to find a home by bringing thousands of homeless pets face-to-face with tens of thousands of potential adopters every day. And the best part is, all PetRescue website services and adoption support programs are free and accessible to all rescue members and pet lovers alike. 

Will you help suppawt us? Any donation, no matter how small or large, helps PetRescue find these beautiful animals their furever home (just like Arlo!). 

Together we can find a home for every pet that needs one! 🐾💚
