At Pet Rescue Vic, we are passionate about saving the lives of animals in need. Our mission is to provide a safe haven for animals who have been abandoned, abused, or neglected, and to place them in loving forever homes. We are a non-profit organization that relies on the support of volunteers and donors to carry out our work.
Our Story
Pet Rescue Vic was founded in 2008 by a group of animal lovers who were concerned about the high number of animals being euthanized in shelters. The founders wanted to create a rescue organization that would provide a second chance for animals in need. Since then, Pet Rescue Vic has grown into a thriving organization that has saved the lives of thousands of animals.
Our team is made up of dedicated volunteers who work tirelessly to ensure that our animals are well-cared for and happy. We have a network of foster homes throughout Victoria where our animals stay until they find their forever homes. We also have a dedicated team of adoption coordinators who match our animals with the perfect families.
Our Adoption Process
At Pet Rescue Vic, we believe that finding the right match between an animal and a family is crucial for a successful adoption. That's why we have a comprehensive adoption process that ensures our animals are placed in loving and permanent homes.
The first step in our adoption process is to fill out an adoption application. This application helps us get to know you and your family, and to understand what you are looking for in a pet. Once we receive your application, one of our adoption coordinators will contact you to discuss your application and to arrange a home visit.
During the home visit, we will meet you and your family, and we will assess your home to ensure that it is a safe and suitable environment for one of our animals. We will also provide you with information about the animal you are interested in, including their personality, medical history, and any special needs they may have.
If we feel that you are a good match for one of our animals, we will arrange a meet-and-greet between you and the animal. This is an opportunity for you to get to know the animal and to see if they are a good fit for your family. If the meet-and-greet is successful, we will proceed with the adoption process.
Our Animals
At Pet Rescue Vic, we have a wide variety of animals available for adoption, including dogs, cats, rabbits, and guinea pigs. All of our animals are vet-checked, vaccinated, and desexed before they are placed for adoption. We also provide ongoing support to our adopters, including advice on training, behavior, and veterinary care.
Our animals come from a variety of backgrounds, including surrendered pets, strays, and animals from overcrowded shelters. We work with our animals to address any behavioral or medical issues they may have, and we provide them with the love and care they need to thrive.
Volunteering and Donating
At Pet Rescue Vic, we rely on the support of volunteers and donors to carry out our work. We have a variety of volunteer opportunities available, including fostering animals, helping with events, and transporting animals. We also accept donations of money, food, and supplies.
