The Rainbow Paws Program believes all creatures great and small deserve food, shelter, care and respect. We recognise the role companion animals play in the lives of their guardians- particularly those Canberran’s doing it tough. Companion animals provide emotional support, stability and unconditional love. We believe that they deserve nothing less in return.

The Rainbow Paws Program provides free or subsidised food, bedding and supplies (such as water bottles, jackets and collars), emergency boarding and medical treatment for a variety of people in the community such as;

• People experiencing short term or long term homelessness
• Those leaving domestic or family violence situations
• The financially disadvantaged
• Individuals with mental illness or physical disability
• The isolated and elderly
• Those experiencing acute illness and hospitalisation
