What a celebration of 10 years!

It was marvellous to see so many familiar faces—supporters from five years ago, from the very beginning, and all the new friends who’ve recently joined our fantastic community.

We officially opened our Adoption Room—a huge milestone made possible thanks to the generous Victorian Government Animal Welfare Grants Program.

Throughout the day, we shared valuable information on bunny diet and nutrition, including a fantastic first aid session just for our buns!

We also drew the raffle—congrats to our lucky winners
1st - Janita B
2nd - Su T
3rd - Alex G

It was such a joy chatting with so many fellow bunny lovers—people who live and breathe buns just like we do.

This celebration, marking the grand opening of the Adoption Room and our 10-Year Anniversary, couldn’t have happened without our incredible volunteers. You made the day what it was—thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

It's not very often we get to thank journalists, newspapers & a TV station, but I want to send my heartfelt thanks to Channel Nine, Jo Hall & Pete the camera man for picking up Petstock Foundations Pet Adoption Month & the importance of adoption over buying a pet.
It was an absolute pleasure having them here, along with Tilly from the foundation & Elif from the production crew.
They were a joy to work with & you could see their love of my resident pets & the rescue buns.
The clip of the day is posted below so please have look at Channel 9's very generous allowance of time to this incredibly important subject of adoption.
The Herald Sun also ran an article, the video & photos of which we have already posted.
