Together we can make a difference

The Rainbow Paws Program is a local not-for-profit organisation supporting pets and their people through hard times. Over 90% of our funding comes from donations and fundraising activities. As such, we run on the generousity and good-will of the wonderful Canberra community. From individual donations to support from local businesses such as PETstock Belconnen, the National Zoo and Aquarium, and ActewAGL and other organisations including ACT Rescue & Foster and Animal Rescue Cooperative, The Rainbow Paws Program is only able to do the work it does because of the wonderful support we receive from all of Canberra. There are many ways you can help The Rainbow Paws Program. Please see the options below to determine what suits you best!

Donate Food & Goods

We are always in need of pet food and other pet products such as leads, collars, blankets, jackets and more. The majority of our clients own dogs and cats so any donations of (unopened) dry, tinned and sachets of cat & dog food are always greatly appreciated.
