Rescuing, rehabilitating and rehoming cats and dogs across Melbourne
Together, we can rewrite their future.
Every animal deserves to feel safe, loved and remembered.
Tails of the Forgotten Paws is a Melbourne-based, 100% volunteer-run and community-funded animal welfare charity dedicated to improving the lives of forgotten, abandoned and vulnerable companion animals.
We provide veterinary care, rehabilitation and safe foster care before carefully matching animals with suitable, loving homes. We also promote responsible pet ownership, support positive relationships between people and animals, and work to reduce euthanasia by increasing successful rehoming outcomes.
We are an ACNC-registered, not-for-profit animal welfare charity dedicated to improving the lives of forgotten and overlooked animals.
We promote positive relationships between people and animals, work to reduce euthanasia and increase rehoming rates, and find safe, loving homes for healthy, desexed cats and dogs.
Giving Forgotten Paws a Second Chance
No animal should experience a life of abandonment, neglect or uncertainty.
We give kittens, puppies, adult and senior animals the veterinary care, rehabilitation and security they need before carefully matching them with loving homes.
Along the way, we support our foster carers and adopters and help more people discover just how wonderful rescue animals can be.
“The exploitation, mistreatment and neglect of companion animals must stop. We have a responsibility to speak up for them and protect their welfare.”
