Petbarn Foundation with the support of Greencross Vets has donated $107k to Pets in the Park since 2020 including $13,742k raised in the Tree of Hope Appeal 2021.
Over 100,000 Australians are currently experiencing homelessness with over 20% of those being pet owners.
Pets in the Park provide health examinations, vaccinations, parasite control, desexing and microchipping for the companion pets, as well as food provisions for people experiencing homelessness with a purpose of helping the welfare of the animal, as well as the mental welfare of the vulnerable pet owners involved.
The Petbarn Foundation has a large focus on community outreach, as well as mental health, and recognise the hardships that come from pet ownership whilst experiencing homelessness, with the aim to provide further assistance to people and pets in the community experiencing these hardships.
The Greencross vet and veterinary team, have also donated their own personal time, to attend the pop up clinics set up by Pets in the Park, to provide their knowledge and expertise as volunteers, keeping the community spirit alive through their work.
