About ACT Pet Crisis Support
ACT Pet Crisis Support is a volunteer-run, not for profit Canberra community organisation registered with the ACNC in March 2019 and dedicated to avoiding economic euthanasia of beloved family pets.
Our Mission Statement:
To ensure that all pets in need owned by disadvantaged, low income pet owners in the ACT and local region have access to veterinary care
ACT Pet Crisis Support assists pets in the community by providing subsidised veterinary care for disadvantaged, low income pet owners who have no other options to care for their pets. We are dedicated to avoiding euthanasia purely on economic grounds by providing alternative options for care. Additional information is available on our FAQ page.
If you would like to join us on our mission to reduce animal suffering and increase access to affordable veterinary care, please contact us to find out more.

When Ms McGlinn's mum died suddenly in February at her NSW country home town of Grenfell, there was never any doubt that her pet, 10 year-old Jasmine, would be brought to her new home in Canberra and given as much love as before.
But soon after Jasmine came home, a small lump on the dog's back began to grow to an alarming size. "It was a tiny lump before she came to us," Ms McGlinn said. "Mum was going to take Jasmine to the vet and have it seen to but she was not in good health and then passed away quite suddenly." https://www.canberratimes.com.au/story/6396306/as-dogs-sorrow-becomes-a-burden-crisis-fund-steps-in/ |
It is well known that pets are good for our mental and physical health. Pets are particularly important to the elderly, those with disabilities and those with chronic health conditions. Pets provide incredible comfort and support, particularly when times are tough. Many of us have experienced financial hardship ourselves and remember what it is like barely be able to afford the essentials.
Unfortunately medical care can be expensive and those on a fixed and limited income tend to be hit hardest by those unexpected expenses. ACT Pet Crisis Support is there for those experiencing an unexpected veterinary emergency that cannot obtain finance such as VetPay. We aim to avoid euthanasia, surrender or suffering of beloved family pets.
If you would like to find out more about what we are up to, fundraise or join our group of volunteers, please email actpetcrisis@gmail.com. We would also love you to follow us on Instagram or Facebook.
Another simple (and free) way you can help is to vote for us weekly on Giving Circle, so we can share in the next round of grants. This will help us to help more pets to stay with their owners and save more lives.
