Our Centre
HELP US HELP THEM - DONATIONS NEEDED to help pets of FIRE evacuees.
During the late 2019 fires, and previously the 2017 Lismore floods, ARRG was unable to provide as much assistance as we wanted to fire and flood victims who had nowhere to house their pets. This is just one of the services our Emergency Care Pens would have been able to provide. Please consider donating towards our ‘Emergency Care’ pens. Quotations from builders to construct these pens are also sought. Emergency Shelter
If you can help, please make a Quick Donation
Our Number 1 priority has been to build a No-Kill shelter, on the Far North Coast.
ARRG has been really busy over the last few years establishing our centre and working hard to provide accommodation for pets in desparate situations.
Thanks to our wonderful voluteers, we have gardens and walkways with a couple of temporary runs for dogs and a small indoor one for cats. Carers continue to provide the bulk of care and we always need more carers.
The Next Step - Emergency Care Kennels!
Increasingly, in fact almost weekly, ARRG is called upon by welfare agencies to provide, or find, temporary accommodation for pets whose owners are in desperate situations.
These situations include:
- Domestic violence
- Unexpected hospitalisation
- Homelessness
Individuals who find themselves in such situations are generally unable to pay for their animals to go to even the least expensive boarding kennels. Hence the provision of free boarding at ARRG will allow desperate pet owners to take the next step to alleviate their current difficult circumstances without the constant worry about the fate of their pets.
Our Target
We have Council approved plans for a kennel facility housing 10 dogs in separate runs and at this point there is a large cement slab on the ground, but negligible funds to complete the kennel building.
We desperately require $200,000-$300,000 to finish the kennel project and provide temporary boarding facilities for pet owners in times of extreme hardship.

As a registered charity all donations over $2 are tax deductable.
YOUR SUPPORT IS URGENTLY NEEDED AND GREATLY APPRECIATED
