We volunteer our time, effort and resources because we are passionate about the rescue and rehabilitation of companion animals. Our mission is to provide a voice for abandoned, neglected and unloved cats and dogs. We aim to provide compassion and quality of life for rescued animals via love and expert rehabilitation via the homes of our foster care volunteers. Our ultimate goal is to re home GAR animals into loving 'forever' families. We desex every animal that comes into care to positively contribute to reducing the stray pet population of Victoria. GAR has a 'no kill' policy. We work closely with Victorian Pounds to help reduce their overpopulation and save lives.
