RAA does more than rescue and rehoming - we’re adressing the root cause of animal suffering!

We're wondering if changing the shift start times might allow more people to volunteer at our Kairi kennels over the next two weeks?

Current shift times are...
🐾6:30am each morning
🐾4:30pm each afternoon

Would you be able to volunteer if we made it a 7:00am morning start and a 5:20pm afternoon kick off? 🤔

Please let us know in the comments! 🙏

🐾 VOLUNTEERS NEEDED IN KAIRI 🐾

We have 11 beautiful dogs arriving into our care very soon and we need a reliable little team to help us show up for them every day.

We are asking for people to commit to a 1.5 hour time slot either morning or evening to help with feeding, cleaning, playtime, enrichment and a whole lot of love.

We need 3 volunteers per slot, and you can do one shift or more if you’d like. Every bit helps.

We also have a working bee on tomorrow (Friday) to get their space clean and ready for their arrival Saturday. Saturday night will also be a mammoth effort requiring volunteers with washing and settling these little ones in to their new space.

These dogs will be with us for a few weeks before heading to AWLQ, so this short window of care really matters. It is our job to help them feel safe, happy and supported while they wait for their next chapter.

To everyone who has donated, shared, volunteered or helped get them this far… THANK YOU! It has been a huge and hectic few days and we are honestly blown away by the kindness around us.

But now that the hard part of getting them here is done, we need to keep showing up for them.

If you can spare 1.5 hours to help these dogs thrive, please register here: https://app.getzelos.com/energetic-celebratory-otter/tasks

Let’s give them the love they deserve. 🧡🐾

THE 11 DOGS ARE SAFE! Now we urgently need shelter volunteers!

Firstly - a huge thanks to everyone who supported this fundraiser. Whether you were able to donate or could only support via likes and shares - WE APPRECIATE YOU!!

A special thank you to a few local businesses who jumped on board and truly got us over the line...
Wellness Embodied Cairns
Irrigation Pumping Maintenance
Mind Matters Cairns
Horizon Estate Agents

NOW WE NEED VOLUNTEERS!!

Yep - with an intake this size, we're reopening our Kairi shelter!

Those who've been following RAA since our humble beginnings back in 2022 would know that I (Jess) used to house the dogs in four working dog kennels on our farm in Kairi - and the cats were in converted fertiliser pods!! Haha.

We simply couldn't find enough carers to support this whole intake, and with the strict vaccination and quarantine requirements for them to be accepted in Animal Welfare League Queensland - we've decided to place them in the kennels for a two-week period.

We will need volunteers to sign up for...
🐝 A working bee this Friday! 12pm - 2:30pm
💩 The arrival shift on Saturday afternoon
🦴 Morning and afternoon care shifts each day

Morning (6am) and afternoon (4:30pm) shifts will involve…
💩 LOTS of hosing and cleaning!!!
🐶 Play/stimulation
🦴 Feeding
🐕‍🦺 Animal handling

💩 ARRIVAL CREW - We will need at least 4 hands on deck to handle the arrival of the dogs on Saturday night. Picture 11 dogs completely covered in their own p**p after 12 hours on the road 🤢 They will be stinky, hungry and unsettled. We will need a production line of people to help with bathing, worm/tick/flea treatment and feeding. Unfortunately we haven't managed to lock in a dog wash yet.

SHIFT SIGN UPS - If you’d like to register your name against any of the shifts, please do so here: https://app.getzelos.com/i/vNXR8iuf

We’ve limited it to 2 people per shift for now, but can easily open that up to more volunteers once all the shifts are filled! 😊🙏

We will be creating a WhatsApp group for everyone who signs up for a shift where we will share videos, safety info and further instructions.

For now, we are asking that volunteers be at least 14 years of age, with anyone under the age of 18 being accompanied by an adult. If you're signing up as a family unit - please only sign up for one 'volunteer space'.

Thank you!!!

We need your help to get 11 dogs to safety by Saturday.

The number has grown.
The ute is ready.
Our volunteers are ready.
AWLQ is ready.

We just need the final funds to get them there.

Total cost for all 11 dogs: $8,845
Raised so far: $6,080

We’re halfway. We need to close the gap by Friday night so every dog can be loaded into the RAA ute and start their journey to a safe, new life.

Four local legends have already stepped up as sponsors:
✨ Mind Matters Cairns
✨ Wellness Embodied Cairns
✨ Irrigation Pumping Maintenance
✨ Horizon Estate Agents
✨ As well as countless personal donations and pledges.

If you’ve been waiting for the moment to help, this is it!

Your donation today covers vet care, supplies, transport and a safe landing for every one of these dogs.

Donate here: www.remoteanimalassistance.com/donate

Let’s get all 11 home. 💛🐾

Parvo is a deadly virus that spreads easily through soil, yards and even on shoes! Puppies are most at risk, especially without vaccination. 🦠

Dundee was lucky to receive treatment for parvo and make a full recovery. But there are many puppies who are unprotected and at risk.

Puppy vaccination schedules can save lives. Early protection makes a huge difference. 🐾

Please consider donating to ensure lasting solutions for dogs and people in remote FNQ communities so they too can be protected, receive treatment and the helping hand they need: https://remoteanimalassistance.com/donate/

Do we have any dog wash owners following who are keen to be on standby for the arrival of eleven SUPER STINKY dogs into Kairi on Saturday afternoon/early evening? 😂🙏

UPDATE 12:15pm Monday - it's now ELEVEN dogs and we're going to grab them in the RAA ute!

Thanks to two amazing volunteer stepping up to tackle 24 hours on the road (huge thanks to Liz and Chrissy!!), these 11 pups will be collected Friday and arrive safely into RAA's care Saturday!

We've also confirmed that AWLQ can receive at least 10 of these dogs at one time - which means road transport down to Brisbane is now a viable option.

We've adjusted our budget and the new total is $8845 for the 11 dogs.

‼️We’ve raised $4320 so far, but we still need to reach $8845 to cover vet care and the essentials they’ll need as soon as they arrive ‼️

HUGE thanks to three incredible sponsors who've come onboard to support this rescue mission...

💛 Mind Matters Cairns
💛 Wellness Embodied Cairns
💛 Irrigation Pumping Maintenance

⏰⏰We MUST reach our target by Friday night to be able to load all 11 dogs into the RAA ute on Saturday ⏰⏰

❌We simply can't save these dogs without the money to vet them and send them to Brisbane.

If you’re able to help us close the gap before Friday, even a small donation makes a real difference. Every dollar helps us make sure they land safely, are cared for properly and can start their new chapter. Please donate here:
