Major gifts are transformative contributions that provide lifesaving support for animals in need. These generous donations can help expand our veterinary and medical services, strengthen community outreach and education, advance animal behaviour and rehabilitation programs, and fund vital capital projects.
Your support can make a lasting impact across key initiatives — from Shelter Medicine and community desexing to our Home Together Program, which helps vulnerable pet owners and their beloved companions stay together.
Together, we can create lasting change for animals and the people who love them.
Every year, thousands of animals arrive at The Lost Dogs’ Home in urgent need of care, safety, and a second chance at life. It’s through the generosity of our compassionate supporters that we can provide emergency treatment, rehabilitation, adoption opportunities, and vital community programs that make a real difference.
By making a major gift or grant, you’re investing in the future of animal welfare, joining a community of compassionate advocates who believe every animal deserves care and kindness, and helping to deliver lifesaving care and hope to thousands of animals each year.
Benefits of giving
Your generosity opens the door to meaningful connection and impact. It gives you the opportunity to see firsthand the difference your gift makes — meeting the animals you’ve helped, our veterinary and animal welfare specialists, and members of our senior leadership team.
We offer flexible and personalised giving experiences tailored to your interests, including private visits, bespoke briefings, invitations to exclusive events, and recognition that reflects your preferences.
To ensure your contribution has the greatest possible impact, a dedicated member of our Philanthropy team will work closely with you to align your support with the programs and initiatives that need it most.
