Every year, hundreds of thousands of animals are abandoned to kennels or the street. These pets are surrendered to our rescue by owners who are no longer able to care for them. It is a common misconception that animals end up in pounds because they’ve been abused or done something ‘wrong’. In fact, most animals are surrendered to pounds because of ‘people reasons’. Things like a relationship breakup, change in family circumstance, moving interstate or overseas, moving to a rental property where the landlord does not allow pets, lack of time, and financial constrants are among the most common reasons pets lose their home. Adopting a pet means you can give an animal a second chance for a long and happy life in a loving home.
