View Original View Raw

Summary

The Petbarn Foundation is running their annual Tree of Hope Appeal this Christmas to raise funds to support animal charities and pet owners in need. This year, the goal is to raise $1.3 million to provide support to 70 animal charities, helping puppies like Skye. Every year, 200,000 dogs require homes and assistance, and since 2014, the appeal has raised more than $4 million of funds, and provided 300 tonnes of essential pet food and supplies. The funds will be allocated to charities supporting pet owners who are homeless or facing domestic violence, as well as providing free vaccinations, vet checks and subsidised desexing to low socio-economic communities. Aside from donating to the appeal, Australians can help by becoming a foster carer for animals currently in rescues. The Tree of Hope Appeal will be running until December 24.
