Why donate to BAWCS?
Your donation directly supports our mission to care for animals and the people who love them. Every contribution helps us:
- Sustain our Community Pet Support Programs, providing vital assistance to disadvantaged pet owners so they can continue caring for their beloved companions.
- Advocate for the welfare of all animals, regardless of species, through education and ethical outreach.
- Provide essential care including veterinary treatment, safe accommodation, and nutritious food for the animals who rely on us.
Together, we can create a kinder, more compassionate world for animals and their people.
We understand that some people would prefer to donate specific items we need. You may like to view Our Wish List
Pet food donations
BAWCS gratefully accepts pet food donations to help feed animals in our care. These donations also support disadvantaged pet owners in times of need.
Please note: our animals in care don’t eat “no name” brands of food, so 1 can of Whiskas is better than 2 cans of ‘Black and Gold’ or other similar cheap brands.
Locations of pet food bins
Coles Williamson Street Bendigo
IGA Supermarket at Kangaroo Flat
Blankets and Towels
We welcome donations of clean blankets and towels.
Please note: we do not accept feather doonas, pillows, cushions, clothing or any other similar form of bedding for keeping our animals warm and comfortable.
Pet food or bedding donations can also be dropped off at our Shelter but with so many animals in our care, we are very busy cleaning and feeding so we do ask that you check our Visit Us page prior to coming out.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!
