The Hope to Love Challenge 2025 Raised Much Needed Funds for Animals in Need

Animal lovers from across Australia came together with one shared goal: to make a difference in the lives of animals in need. And thanks to the passion of our participants and the generosity of the community, this year’s Hope to Love Challenge raised an incredible $50,000 for the animals in our care! 

We were truly blown away by the support.  

To everyone who took on the challenge in March: whether you walked, ran or rallied your friends and family to donate, every action you took helped us reach this amazing milestone. Your efforts have made a real and lasting impact, not just at our shelter, but also across our regional Branches where support is needed most. 

To everyone who supported or donated: thank you for supporting your friends, family and us. Your donations will go a long way towards our animals’ healing, care and ultimately finding a new home.  

Animals like Slugger, who was diagnosed with a congenital liver abnormality, can now undergo the life-saving care he needs, thanks to the resources your fundraising made possible. 

A special thank you to our event partners, Nestlé Purina and Pet Circle, whose support helped make this campaign possible. 

We’re already dreaming up ways to make the Hope to Love Challenge even bigger and better next year. Until then, stay connected for more events, updates, and opportunities to help animals in need. Together, we can continue to turn hope into love for every animal who crosses our path.
