Northern Rivers Animal Services is a fully self-funded, non-profit registered charity that operates a shelter committed to rescuing abandoned, abused, lost and unwanted dogs and cats and finding a forever home where they will be loved and cared for.
Established in October 2001, NRAS, through donations, sales from its Op Shops and generosity of its foster carers and volunteers, has been able to find loving homes for thousands of cats and dogs.
NRAS goes beyond providing food, shelter and medical care for the dogs and cats of the Northern Rivers. With the support of its Vet Partners throughout the region NRAS assist individuals facing financial hardship by contributing to the cost of desexing their pets through the Subsidised Desexing Scheme. They also provide a platform to educate the community on responsible pet ownership.
The NRAS team, along with NRAS dogs also provide monthly pet therapy, visiting numerous local aged care residents for a chat and pat session.
100% of proceeds from the sale of the calendar along with entry and voting fees benefit Northern Rivers Animal Services, ensuring the animals in their care receive get a second chance to find a loving home and live their best lives.
