Helping Hands Animal Rescue

We Are There When They Need Us!

Helping Hands Animal Rescue (HHAR) is a Melbourne, Victoria based animal rescue group, run entirely by volunteers, which aims to rescue wildlife, domestic pets, farm animals and to treat introduced species humanely.  

Northern Suburbs of Melbourne, Victoria

We operate primarily in the northern suburbs of Melbourne and, for the rescue of domestic pets, we run a small community network of foster carers.   
native wildlife
We rescue and rehabilitate native wildlife such as wombats and reptiles and have a fully licensed shelter operating under the guidelines of DEWLP.

farm animals & stock
HHAR have rescued, rehabilitated and rehomed many farm animals that, if not, their outlook would have been bleak and they include lambs, chickens, and horses.

introduced species
We believe that no animal should suffer simply because it exists in the wrong eco system.  All animals are dealt with humanely and according to the law.

We are there for people too!

It is not just about animals - we care for the environment and people too.

Helping the Elderly

Some time ago, we received a frantic call from the friend of an elderly woman.  The poor woman's beloved pet had passed away at her feet and she was powerless to do anything as he was a large dog.  Her friend had made numerous call to different agencies to obtain help but no one was either willing or able.  Heidi attended and conveyed the ladies' pet to the local vet.  The deceased pet was treated with dignity and according to the wishes of the distraught owner.

for adoption

If you wish to be considered as an adopter of one of our gorgeous pets, then please complete the relevant adoption form and submit.  We do not operate on a first come, first served, basis. We follow a stringent adoption process to ensure that the home chosen is the perfect one and for the lifetime of the pet.
