We want to say a HUGE thank you to artist Margherita Chermetti for donating her time and painting 10 pet portraits for our supporters while she was visiting Australia

Richie Porter, put himself through the grueling Melbourne Marathon again this year, for the fourth year in a row, fundraising for Save-A-Dog Scheme

Lucy, along with the Grade 6 students at Kalinda Primary School, raised $800 for Save-A-Dog Scheme by holding a market day, where they made items and sold them to the whole school

For the past 30 years, the team at Save-A-Dog Scheme has worked tirelessly to rescue, care for and re-home thousands of cats and dogs

Our 30th anniversary dinner was a huge success
