Every dog deserves a second chance
Behind every rescue dog is a story. Sometimes it’s a story of neglect or abandonment. Sometimes it’s simply a case of circumstances changing and a family no longer being able to care for their dog. Whatever the reason, getting a dog safely into rescue is only the beginning.
There are vet bills to pay, food to buy, medication, training, transport and somewhere safe for them to stay while they wait for their forever home. For many rescue organisations, the work continues for weeks or months before a dog is ready to start the next chapter of their life.
Small donations can make a real difference
You don’t have to make a huge donation to help. A few dollars can contribute towards food, a vet visit or the everyday costs of caring for a dog in rescue. Regular giving can be especially valuable because it gives rescue organisations some certainty about the support they have coming in.
And if money is tight, there are plenty of other ways to help. Donate food or supplies, give your time, foster a dog, share an adoption post or support a local fundraiser. There is no single right way to help. What matters is that we all do what we can.

Petbarn Foundation
I’m incredibly proud to have the Petbarn Foundation as the major partner of Rescue Dogs On Doorsteps.
The Petbarn Foundation has been supporting animal welfare and rescue organisations across Australia since 2012, and has donated more than $29 million to help pets, animals and the people who care for them. Its work includes supporting rescue organisations, encouraging Australians to choose adoption and helping vulnerable pets and their owners.

Through this partnership, we hope to shine an even bigger light on the incredible work being done by rescue organisations around Australia and encourage more people to get involved.
Because behind every photograph in this book is a real dog who needed someone to care.
If you can, please consider making a donation to help give more dogs the chance to find their safe place, their person and their forever home.
Every little bit helps. And somewhere out there, a very good dog is hoping it does.
