Meet our girl Mango who is looking for a new place to grow and flourish.

Did you know that Mangoes are related to cashews and pistachios and that a ripe mango is known to be 14% sugar by weight ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

We don't really believe that fact as our girl is so much sweeter ๐Ÿฅญ

Available to meet and adopt NOW

โœ… doonas/quilts
โœ… sleeping bags
โœ… pet beds

Donations can be dropped off during our operating hours 10am to 4pm Monday to Saturday and 10am to 12pm Sunday.

Check out Smokey in his cat pram - we love this ๐Ÿฅฐ
Smokey's owners brought him into BARC today for his FREE microchip, and he loved his outing while staying safe and sound riding shotgun in his Chariot of the Free World.

Thankyou to Smokey's owners for bringing him in for a microchip - it's great to know that if Smokey gets lost, he has the best chance of being reunited with his caring family.
Remember BARC provides FREE microchips for pet cats and dogs residing in Bendigo - just give us a call on 54412209 to book in, or email [email protected]

We thought you might like an update on the old mare that was found lost in Bendigo a few weeks back.
Unfortunately, despite claims being made on Facebook, no one approached BARC and identified themselves as the owner of the sweet girl we affectionally named "Cherry Trot."
While in our care, Cherry was checked over and provided a hoof trim, a worm treatment, and some decent tucker to help her put on some weight.
Cherry was fortunate enough to capture Bendigo hearts and received donations of feed and rugs, for which she was most appreciate!
We worked with a local Farm Animal Sanctuary to get Cherry into a Permanent Foster home to complete her transition from scruffy old mare to much loved lady - and we are sure you will agree that she will be very content in her new home ๐Ÿฅฐ๐Ÿฅฐ

We want to introduce you to Cadbury Caramilk.
Sweet like chocolate, this 1 year old female American Bulldog mix is in need of a foster home.
If you are concerned that you can't foster a dog because you will fall in love and keep them - that's ok with us! We always give our foster carers first option of adopting an animal they care for ๐Ÿฅฐ
Like with all foster dogs, Caramel will need a place to stay with secure fencing (e.g. colourbond), and if with other pets, needs to be able to be separated when not under supervision.
Caramilk is house trained and sleeps inside, and she loves nothing more than trying to curl up in your lap!
If you live in the City of Greater Bendigo, and would like to foster Caramilk or register as a foster carer for future dogs in need, we want to hear from you!
You can download a Foster Carer Application Form from our website www.BendigoAnimalReliefCentre.com.au, or email [email protected] and we can provide you an application.
Come on Bendigo - Let's get Caramilk out of the shelter and onto a couch!

These two friendly rabbits were found lost in Strathdale earlier this week. They don't have microchips, so we don't know who may have lost them! They are very friendly and affectionate, and we are sure someone is missing them dearly!
BARC just doesn't house cats and dogs, but all kinds of lost pets including rabbits, guinea pigs, sheep, goats, ferrets, birds, and even pet rats!
While BARC provides free microchipping for dogs and cats, speak to your vet about microchipping and identification options for ALL pets, to ensure they have the best chance of getting home!
All lost pets are displayed on our live website 'lost' page - www.BendigoAnimalReliefCentre.com.
If you have lost your pet, ensure your pet's microchip details are up to date and check our website regularly!

Kelpie's are a true Australian breed envied by the rest of the world or their loyalty, trainability, and dedication to the task.
While the younger one's require both exercise of the body and mind and generally excel at a variety of dog sports, they do settle down with age and are more content with a gentle walk with opportunities to sniff and explore.
BARC currently has a variety of kelpie and kelpie cross dogs available for adoption, ranging from 4 months to 6 years, so we are bound to have the right kind of Kelpie for your family!
