Help stop this hurt before it starts.
We were called to rescue Winnie—a sweet little Staffy in desperate need. She was found hiding among rubble, under an old car in someone’s backyard, her tiny body riddled with mange. The disease had left her red raw, covered in painful open sores, and nearly hairless—even her eyelashes were gone. The suffering Winnie endured is unimaginable.
We gave everything to help Winnie heal. It took weeks of dedicated care from our entire team—antibiotics, medicated baths, and constant doses of love and cuddles. Slowly, she began to recover.
But there are many more like Winnie. With over 40 animals coming through our doors every day, our care has to stretch far and wide. And without any ongoing government funding, we rely entirely on the generosity of people like you—people who love animals as much as we do.
This Christmas, you can make a difference. Please donate now to give pets like Winnie the greatest gift of all—the chance at a healthy, happy life with a loving family.

"I remember being scared, lonely, and in so much pain. My skin was all sore and itchy but scratching only made it worse." — Winnie
"But some nice people took me to a place with food and blankets! They gave me baths and medicine to make me feel better."— Winnie
"Then I received the best gift I could wish for—a forever home, with humans who love me as much as I love them." — Winnie
“It was wonderful to see Winnie so healthy and happy, just weeks later, with the most gorgeous brindle coat. She bounced over like a little deer. You could always tell she had a sweet nature. Now she was well enough to give all the love she wanted!”
- Kylie, Animal Ambulance Driver
Home Together: Keeping Families Together
We’ll never know the full story of how Winnie ended up in such a heartbreaking condition. Did she once have a family who loved her but could no longer care for her? Was her suffering the result of hardship beyond their control?
Sadly, stories like Winnie’s are becoming more common—people who deeply love their pets but are forced to surrender them due to difficult circumstances.
Winnie’s case shows the devastating consequences when a pet is neglected. She had been without proper care for months, leading to unbearable suffering. But with programs like Home Together, stories like Winnie’s can be prevented.
Home Together goes beyond caring for animals—it’s about supporting pet owners too. Our dedicated Social Worker helps families in crisis connect with services and resources that can improve their lives, and the lives of their pets. It’s all about providing the right support to keep pets with the people who love them, so families can stay together and thrive.
Your donation can make a life-changing difference. Please give now to help keep families and pets together, and to provide care for those like Winnie, who desperately need it.
