The Animal Rights and Rescue Group (ARRG) is a non-profit volunteer organisation based in the Northern Rivers region of Northern NSW. ARRG rescues homeless and unwanted companion animals and provides them with care and sanctuary in foster homes until a suitable home can be found.
Our foster carers and volunteers are all unpaid and all money donated or fund raised is used directly to help the animals. Many rescue animals require immediate treatment for ongoing neglect and injuries and all our animals are vaccinated, wormed, desexed and microchipped.
The group has been operating since 1995 as a No-Kill organisation – this means, no ARRG animal has been euthanased, unless due to illness or injury where the animal could not be saved.
ARRG has saved over ten thousand animals since founded and have treated the ill, injured, severely abused, old and orphaned, some who need long term care.
In 2006 after years of operating out of private homes and rented Op shops ARRG raised sufficient funds through our ‘Buy a Brick’ program, fund raising and local sponsors to build Stage 1 of our office centre in Lismore on rented council land to provide greater security for the future for our rescue operation.
ARRG does not have a shelter and is an advocate of the Foster care system that provides individual care, rehabilitation and socialisation for each and every animal.
ARRG urgently needs to raise further funds for Stage 2 of the centre to build a small number of emergency pens for both cats and dogs to enable us to act swiftly to rescue a greater number of animals and also take the burden off our wonderful foster carers during holidays and breaks.
ARRG is the only group of its kind operating in an area as large as Tasmania, between Coffs Harbour in the South to Tweed Heads in the North and West to Casino and Tenterfield.
We give a deserved second chance to these animals — we believe that NO animal should have to endure neglect or abuse.
If you would like to support ARRG’s work and our vision consider a donation or sponsor an animal.
