HOW IT WORKS ⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯
How a bag becomes a meal
You buy a bag
Every Ruffey bag sold sets aside food for the Community Paws pool. No add-on, no round-up at checkout — it is already in the bag you bought.
We send product, not a cheque
That food goes straight to our partner organisations as a product donation, so what we make is what lands in the bowl.
They get it out the door
Our partners feed the animals in their care and hand the rest to owners in hardship through their outreach programs.
WHERE IT LANDS ⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯
What your support pays for
We back rescue groups who rescue, rehome and rehabilitate displaced and abandoned pets — and who help owners doing it tough keep their four-legged friends happy, healthy and at home beside them.
Care for every animal that arrives
Veterinary, behavioural and emotional support for each homeless animal who walks through a partner's doors.
Vet care when crisis hits
Accessible veterinary options for the wider community at the moment a family cannot otherwise afford them.
Pets staying home
Outreach programs that keep beloved pets by their owner's side through hardship, instead of surrendered.
THE PACK ⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯
Who we feed alongside
Every organisation below has boots on the ground, a waiting list of hungry animals, and our food in their store room.
