Bendigo Animal Welfare & Community Services (BAWCS), formerly Bendigo Animal Shelter, was founded in 2003 and is a registered charity. Our approach is unique in comparison to other animal welfare organisations. Rather than focussing on what people can do for animals; we instead focus on what animals can do for people. The end result is that both people and animals have the opportunity to share in a nurturing environment with positive outcomes for both. With this underpinning philosophy, we provide programs in the key areas of Community Support, Education and Animal Welfare.

July A VERY BIG THANK YOU .... Our sincere thanks for a most generous donation of $15,000 given in memory of Rita Clarke for the finalising of our Caretaker's Residence at Huntly North.
WISH LIST We currently need...
HORSE RUGS X 2 With the cooler weather now upon us Ricky and Barney need horse rugs for evening wear!
HORSE SHELTERS! BAWCS is seeking support for the nine horse (and other animal) shelters for each of the six paddocks on our site at Huntly North. Working in partnership with students at BTEC as part of the introduction to Traditional Trades Program, we can buy for $1,100 which is to cover the cost of materials only (labour free).
The shelters are very strongly constructed and they break down into a flat pack of three walls and a roof.
We are seeking sponsors to buy the shelters for us and the donation will be TAX DEDUCTIBLE
