Ollie's Legacy Incorporated is a registered not for profit that rescues, rehabilitates, and advocates for the most vulnerable animals in our community.

Based in Central Victoria, we operate as a Community Foster Care Network and are a small but dedicated team of volunteers who work tirelessly to save lives.

Animals arrive in our care through various means including surrenders from the public and rescued from both Victorian and interstate pounds.

Animals are then placed into loving foster homes where they are given the highest level of care, provided with any veterinary treatment required and desexed, vaccinated and microchipped.

We take great care in finding our animals their forever families and offer trial periods to ensure the suitability of the match.

BARC is operated by the City of Greater Bendigo. Its mission is to provide a safe and caring temporary home for lost or surrendered pets and its vision is to help create a community of responsible pet owners.

BARC's aim is to match people with the perfect pet. To do this, it holds a one-on-one meet and greet with the person and the animal they would like to adopt, so it's important to make an appointment.

It encourages responsible pet ownership and all adopted cats and dogs are desexed, vaccinated, and micro-chipped prior to heading into their new homes.

All animals available for adoption are listed on its website. Keep up to date with what's happening at BARC by liking its Facebook page.

The Campaspe Animal Shelter is operated by the Campaspe Shire Council. They aim to rehome as many animals as possible, ensuring all healthy animals with suitable temperaments are made available for adoption.

Taking on a pet is a long-term commitment and before adopting, it is essential to research what type of animal would best suit your home and lifestyle.

All animals waiting for a new home can be found on the shelter website, or by visiting the shelter in person. All animals available for adoption are ready to go home straight away.

For full details on its adoption process, please head to the Campaspe Animal Shelter website here.

Location: 530 McKenzie Road, Echuca, (part of the Echuca and District Livestock Exchange site).
