Will You Be a Quiet Hero Today?


Kobe and Remondis didn’t just need an animal shelter. They needed quiet heroes.


Tiny stray kitten Remondis was rescued by the fire brigade after getting his head stuck inside a dumpster—cold, shut down, and scared.


And 16-week-old puppy Kobe was rescued by police from the boot of a crashed car, his tiny leg broken in two places.


Both were brought to our shelters—but they were far too young to be left alone. Too vulnerable. Too overwhelmed for a busy shelter environment.


They needed the calm and comfort of a foster home before they could find a forever one.


Thanks to caring foster carers—our quiet heroes—Kobe and Remondis had just that. A peaceful place to rest, recover, and learn to trust again.


But while foster carers volunteer their time and love, foster care still comes at a significant cost.


Will you donate today to help support vital programs like foster care? Your gift could help provide nourishing food, soft bedding, pain relief and vital medications—everything a frightened or injured pet needs to rest, heal, and grow strong in the safety of a foster home.


Foster carers can only open their arms because quiet heroes like you help open the way.

Kobe patiently resting in his crate—being such a good boy while his broken leg healed.

Remondis cuddling with Jessie*, his foster carer’s daughter—learning what it means to be loved after life as a stray.

Kobe soaking up all the cuddles at the shelter—taking small steps to learn how to trust and socialise.

“We’re operating at the absolute limit. It’s constant. We’re seeing a lot of surrenders—and even though adoptions are at an all-time high, the need for foster care has never been greater.”

Foster Care Changes Everything


But it's only possible with the support of our quiet heroes.


Nearly 1 in 3 cats and dogs who come through our doors will need foster care. Often, they’re young, frightened, or recovering from injury—like Kobe and Remondis, who were all three.


At The Lost Dogs' Home, the need for foster care has more than doubled in just five years—rising from 2,332 animals in 2021 to 5,288 this year. That’s around 14 vulnerable pets every single day now needing this lifeline.


Many animals who arrive at our shelters are too young to be alone. Others are simply too overwhelmed to cope in a busy shelter environment. But with your support, they can find the quiet care and healing they need in a foster home—until they’re ready for their forever home.


These life-changing programs rely on kind-hearted people like you.


If you can, please give today to help provide the expert treatment and loving care more lost and abandoned pets need to heal and thrive.

Safe at last—Remondis in the arms of a quiet hero from the fire brigade, who rescued him after his tiny head got stuck in a dumpster.

Your gift could help provide food, soft bedding, and enrichment toys to support a young pet's recovery in foster care.

Your gift could help cover vital medications and pain relief for a vulnerable cat or dog recovering in a loving foster home.

Your gift could help fund critical veterinary care—like post-op x-rays, vaccinations and microchipping—giving each pet the best chance at a brighter future.
