In-store Pet Adoption Centres

Every year, hundreds of thousands of unwanted pets are surrendered to animal shelters across Australia. The Petbarn Foundation is actively involved in helping to find these pets a loving home they deserve.

In 2012, Petbarn removed the sale of all puppies, dogs, rabbits, mice and guinea pigs from stores. The Petbarn Foundation instead partnered with RSPCA NSW to deliver the first “Petbarn In-store Adoption Centre” the first Australian pet retailer and animal welfare organisation to do so at the time.

Bushfire Disaster 2020

The Australian bushfire season in 2019-2020 devastated many communities and animal populations across the country. Sadly, people lost their lives, thousands of homes destroyed, and it’s estimated that billions of birds, reptiles, livestock & marsupials perished.

In the midst of unprecedented disaster, the Petbarn Foundation worked closely with our pet-rescue partners and animal welfare organisations to identify how we can best support our pets, wildlife and our communities during the national emergency.

RSPCA Clear the Shelters Adoption Campaign

As part of the Petbarn Foundation’s commitment to caring for animals in need, we participate in the RSPCA annual “Clear the Shelters” Campaign giving shelter pets a second chance at a loving home through Petbarn In-store Adoption Centres.

Seeing Eye Dogs Vision Australia Fundraising Appeal

The annual Petbarn Foundation Appeal for Seeing Eye Dogs has grown into a key fundraising activity since launching in 2014. The support of the Petbarn Foundation together with Petbarn, Greencross and Royal Canin, their customers, and the Seeing Eye Dogs community across the country has now seen 70 dogs funded to become guides for people who are blind or have low vision.

For the right person, a Seeing Eye Dog can be a better option than using other mobility aids, such as a white cane. The guide dog allows the person to move more quickly and navigate obstacles with reliability and safety. A Seeing Eye Dog provides constant companionship, helps overcome social isolation, depression and contributes to an all-round better quality of life for people who are blind or have low vision.

Australian Wildlife Assistance

Australia is the home of some of the world’s most magnificent and unique wildlife. The Petbarn Foundation is committed to helping all animals great and small. We are proud to help protect our precious wildlife when natural disasters including floods, fire and drought occur.

Tree of Hope Christmas Appeal

The Annual Tree of Hope Fundraising Appeal held during the Christmas season is a Petbarn Foundation initiative helping Australian pet-rescues and animal welfare groups to continue their great work in supporting animals in need.

Every time a star is purchased for the Tree of Hope in a Petbarn or City Farmers Store or any local Greencross Vets clinic the Petbarn Foundation will make a donation to the RSPCA and a local pet-related charity to care for shelter pets bringing much-needed funds for the year ahead.
