SUPPORTING ANIMAL RESCUE
ARC is a national “at scale’ organisation supporting animal rescuers, peak bodies and emergency responders.
ARC is a division of a registered charity (MKC).
Mission Statement: Lets get this done.
The Animal Rescue Cooperative’s mission is to save animals by supporting rescue. We do this by providing an “at scale” support program helping rescuers, peak bodies and aligned industry partners to get help where it is needed. We have built national capacity for supporting the broad rescue ecosystem. whether it is food, medical, advice or logistics.
The ARC team came together from groups of specialist Animal Rescuers, professionals, volunteers and wildlife workers. We adapt from national emergencies to micro support and all rescuers and partners are considered equal. The only question we ask is:
– Do you have animals?
– Do you need help.
The ARC work in conjunction with peak bodies, major rescue organisations, thousands of individual rescuers and the care sector to respond with scale and help animals in need.
ARC is a division of the MKC (Mini Kitty Commune). A registered charity in Australia. The work of the MKC and hundreds of aligned rescuers make this possible
In recent times this includes
- Disaster response/Bushfire national response
- Covid 19 /Corona Companion Animal Response
- National logistics for PetBarn foundation food redistribution
- National Food response for WIRES Bushfire relief programs
- Craft Guild international rescue program (250000 volunteer members)
- Significant ($1m+) donation programs to support national Wildlife groups
- Redistribution programs for many major health and welfare donors
- Hundreds of individual rescues, hands on rebuilds and programs of work.
The teams are made up of hundreds of directly involved field volunteers across Australia backed by resource drop hubs, volunteer transporters, hands on animal care specialists and field workers. The capacity of the teams are considerable and is currently the only “At Scale” organisation of it’s type in Australia.

We created ARC to support rescuers and the animals they care for.
Organisations and donors come to ARC as they know we can get right where they want to help with the right people, knowledge and supplier to immediately save lives.
The latest in technology and social engagement means ARC can locate resources in key rescue hotspots and engage teams immediately. ARC also maintain massive databases of rescuers, support and specialists to back resources in response
ARC operate a hub and storage resource pool capable of long term broad supply of food and medical resources. These hubs double as community collection and rescue group distribution hubs for general purpose rescue support.
