WHO ARE WE?
We are a small but powerful animal rescue, based in Orange NSW. We opened in 2017 and have expanded to now service Central West NSW, Dubbo, Lithgow, Mudgee and surrounds. In May 2019, we became a no-for-profit charity, endorsed by the ACNC (Australian Charities Not-for-Profit Commission).
We have successfully rehomed hundreds animals over the years. Whilst providing full necessary vetwork such as desexing, vaccinations, flea, worming to each animal. We rehomed over 400 animals just during December 2019 to December 2020. The majority of our rehomes are dogs and cats, however if the odd horse, bird, guinea pig, or any other animal presents itself – we will assist. As we service the country areas, it is important that we remain adaptable and flexible to the demands in our serviced areas.
We operate as a ‘foster home network’ for our animals and believe that an animal will present their ‘real’ personality in that of a home environment with our foster families. A foster home environment creates a much more positive and beneficial environment for our animals, as they get to experience the family dynamic and therefore, learn to interact and adapt with family members, other animals and in normal family situations, more effectively than living in a shelter environment. In our foster homes, they receive training, exercise, adventures out of the home and enrichment which enables the growth of a healthier, happier and more confident animal.
We do not have any time constraints on our animals. We will work with them, be patient and let them go at their own pace for as long as they need. No good result comes from rushing an animal when they are not ready.
OUR MISSION & VALUES
In Australia, an estimated 250,000 healthy but unwanted dogs and cats are killed in Australian municipal pounds each year. Our mission is to work with and assist with as many private surrender requests that we can, in turn removing those animals from the pound system. We also work with councils across Australia, by assisting them with the rescue of their animals on death row.
We believe that there is no ‘bad breed’. We also believe that EVERY animal deserves a chance, no matter their condition or behaviour. We are a no kill rescue that prides ourselves on the rehabilitation of the sickest, most damaged, saddest cases. We provide the necessary training, vet work and the correct environment to give them the best possible chance at becoming healthy and happy, and then finding their forever home.
We understand and sympathise with the importance of human relationships with own animals. Nothing is sadder, seeing a family having to give up their beloved pet due to homelessness and often the animal is all they have left of importance in their life. It is for this reason that we also offer temporary housing and vet care for families of whom are experiencing tough times, such as homelessness. Once the family has found suitable accommodation, their fur family member is returned to their families loving arms. Additionally, we also temporary care for pregnant animals due to accidental pregnancies, where the owner is not only unprepared for the financial burden of the litter, but also unprepared for the birth process. We will temporary care for the pregnant animal, until the time they have their litter, the litter is grown up and the mum is able to be desexed and returned to their family. This is our way of not only assisting those in need, but also stopping the cycle of unwanted litters.
Animals are our life! Even if we can help change the life of one animal for the better - our job is done!

human soul.” Kurt Hahn
