Supporting PetRescue since 2016

How Woolworths and PetRescue are changing pet’s lives

By supporting PetRescue's vital adoption platform, along with other pet adoption programs, we can help connect millions of pet lovers with more than 70,000 pets seeking homes each year.

Every new policy will help build a safer future for rescue pets in Australia.

Together with PetRescue, here’s what else we’ve achieved to help save thousands more lives every year.

• We include rescue pets where possible when shooting our ads because all pets deserve equal opportunity at stardom.
• In 2016, we answered an urgent call to help by donating the necessary funds to save 17 dogs that were in immediate danger.
• With over 660,000 pets marked as adopted on the platform, we supported the Matchmakers project by funding technology to help rescue pets and adoption, saving rescue groups thousands of hours of work.
• Thanks to our community’s generosity - in 2020 Woolworths gift matching has matched over $100,000 in donations for the fourth year running.
• We hosted adoption events at the Woolworths national support office to help team members find their pawfect match and offered adoption fee refunds to over 200,000 of Woolworths team members to encourage pet adoption.
• We’re proud to be a sponsor of the Community Cat Program which is a first community pilot in the project of desexing, vaccinating and microchipping both owned and unowned cats to help save more lives every year
