Animal Rescue.

Our mission is to rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome vulnerable dogs and cats across Far North Queensland, with a focus on animals at high risk of euthanasia in council pounds and within the broader community.

We provide care through a dedicated foster network.

Foster.

Looking to adopt an animal? Welcome one of our furry friends into your family and give them a second chance at love and life.

Stray to Stay’s adoption program allows you to view the many wonderful pets in need of a permanent and loving home. You can view our available animals for adoption here, and reach out to our friendly team to set up a call, meet and greet or simply to learn more about the process.

Adopt.

Our dedicated foster network ensures that all vulnerable animals in our care are rehomed with the right environment for rehabilitation.

If you’re interested in our fostering program, please get in touch today to speak to our team and learn about how you can get involved.

Donate.

A small donation of gift may not seem much to you, but to these animals, it could change their entire life.

If you aren’t in the position to foster or adopt, there are still plenty of ways you can get involved. Send love to our animals by making a charitable donation here, or shop our 'Amazon Wishlist’ to purchase essential items needed for their care.

Donations are tax deductible.
