Together, we get practical help to animals.

Rescuers, local hubs, makers and generous partners. One community getting food, supplies and comfort where they’re needed.

Petbarn Foundation

We’d like to thank Petbarn Foundation and its partners for supporting animals around Australia.

Volunteers at the ARC Leichhardt hub

The ARC Leichhardt team, Sydney.

Local people.
A shared purpose.

Behind every delivery are people making it happen. Sorting food. Packing supplies. Sewing pouches. Loading cars. Finding a way to get help to someone caring for an animal.

Our hubs bring that work together. They are places to contribute, connect and get practical support.

Meet our hubs

Made by hand.
Given with heart.

The Craft Guild is ARC in action.

A pouch, a nest, a blanket. Useful things made by people who care, connected with rescuers through the same community of hubs and helpers.

Your next make could make a difference.

Start with the current requests. Choose a pattern. Make to the instructions. Arrange where it needs to go.
