We are on a mission to end animal homelessness and need your help.
We put animals on the path to health, happiness, and the love they deserve this Christmas. Most of the animals we receive have had rocky beginnings, but here at Animal Aid, we get them on course to have incredible new lives. Their journey may not have been easy, but in our care, their future is secure. Comfort, Safety and Belonging.
It’s a constant struggle managing capacity, finding animals their new homes, and then making way for even more animals from our community who need our help. When you donate to Animal Aid this Christmas, your gift will help us deliver the life-changing medical and behavioural care these animals desperately need and deserve. You can put them on the right track.
We are finding more and more dogs who are presenting with anxieties and complex behavioural challenges. We work to help them be happy and healthy by reconditioning their triggers with positive reinforcement and science-based training.
So far this year, we have been able to help more than 1,600 cats and kittens. That number is about to increase significantly with the arrival of kitten season. Every year we desex, microchip, vaccinate and safely rehome thousands – yet every year, we receive more and more felines that need our care.
A very special canine resident at Animal Aid is Chappo. He has been at our Coldstream shelter for more than 130 days, yet he still has not managed to find his perfect match. He was surrendered into our care as a young dog who needed to learn the ways of the world. But he deserves the comfort and stability that only a home of his own will bring. Our team of carers will continue guiding him during this stay and teaching him everything he needs to know. We will wait as long as it takes for Chappo to find a home that will suit his needs. We will give him all the time and space he requires, no matter how long it takes.
With your help, we will continue to do what we do best.
