Completely Rescued

A community-based animal rehoming organisation built on a passion for helping animals in need. Our mission is to reduce the number of euthanised animals by saving them from pounds and taking them in when surrendered, and rehoming them in a safe, secure, and loving environment where they can thrive. ​ At Completely Rescued, we believe in providing animals with the five essential freedoms, including freedom from hunger and thirst, discomfort, pain, injury and disease, the freedom to express normal behaviour, and freedom from fear and distress. We are committed to ensuring that every animal in our care receives the attention and care they deserve, including vaccinations, desexing, microchipping, exercise, and lots of love. ​ Our dedicated team of volunteers and local businesses share our passion for animal welfare, and together we work towards our vision of opening an adoption centre servicing NSW and the ACT regions. Our adoption centre will allow us to rescue many more animals that have been dumped, surrendered or moved from a pound environment, while also providing a clean, safe environment for the public to come and interact with the animals. ​ Join us in our mission to protect and advocate for better welfare for all animals within the local community. We are excited to welcome you to Completely Rescued, where we aim to make a positive difference in the lives of animals and the people who love them.
