Cycling to save pets from domestic violence

$1,251 donated
Given by 27 generous donors in 8 weeks

It’s about turning a great cycle ride into a great rescue mission for pets in trouble.

Auckland

It’s horrifying: in violent homes pets often suffer pain – even death – when pet cruelty is used as another way of hurting the human victim, take a look at the Survivor Stories on petrefuge.org.nz.

Bob loves cycling – and pets – and wants to help Pet Refuge save more pets. He can do it while he and five of his cycling buddies go off on the Tour Aoteroa cycle event from Cape Reinga to Bluff.

Here's your opportunity to show your support with a donation to Pet Refuge while Bob & his mates are on their epic ride.

About Pet Refuge

Pet Refuge is a quiet but really important organisation that provides secure shelters where pet-lovers trying to escape domestic violence can safely leave their beloved pets.

Imagine how important that is to anyone in that situation. It can be the difference between a person getting out. Or not.

Bob wants to help Pet Refuge build more shelters and save more pets and people. You can support Bob – just Givealittle today and let’s all help save these vulnerable pets.

Bob Wilshire's involvement (page creator)

No decent person wants to think about pets being deliberately hurt. But it does happen that pets, not just people, are victims of domestic violence. I want to help these pets by turning a bike ride into an opportunity for friends to donate to Pet Refuge.
