Finding Forever Homes
Maggie’s Rescue exists to create a world where no animal is in need of rescue. Operating since 2011, we are a co-operative of volunteer foster carers and passionate animal advocates, working together to achieve our shared vision.
We have a no-kill philosophy, with a focus on finding animals their forever homes through our Foster to Adopt Program. This program is key to our organisation’s success, as it rehabilitates our animals in preparation for their new life.
We focus on:
reducing the number of unwanted and abandoned animals through rehoming
community education
desexing initiatives, and
liaising with other welfare organisations
We do this with a direct purpose, which is working towards the introduction of new legislation to give greater protection to all animals. This also serves to provide further direction for other registered rescue organisations.
Our purpose is to improve the lives of companion animals—Through education, advocacy and rehoming
Our values are:
Compassion - we are empathetic, demonstrating kindness to all animals and humans
Integrity - we continually strive for best practice in the animals we care for, generating trust and respect in the community
Collaboration - we are a co-operative who work with councils, vets and welfare organisations to benefit companion animals
Empowerment - we provide a voice for the voiceless
Our objectives are:
To rescue and rehome unwanted companion animals
To advocate for and assist in desexing companion animals, and
To educate and promote animal welfare in the community
Our impact to date—Maggie’s Rescue has helped rescue over 1900 animals and counting
