Mackay Animal Rescue Society Inc

Our aim is to provide animals with the second chance at a long & happy life by taking them into loving & safe foster homes and providing them with the care they need until they find their new home. All foster animals in care are health checked, microchipped, vaccinated up to date, wormed & flea/tick treated and desexed. This ensures all MARS fosters are healthy and ready for adoption. MARS also conducts educational visits to schools promoting responsible pet ownership so that the next generation are aware of what that entails and the commitment that pet ownership entails. MARS implemented the Last Litter Program when we realised there was a need within the community to help reduce the number of unwanted litters. The Last Litter Program means that the pet owner agrees to surrender the entire litter of puppies/kittens to MARS where they will receive all their required vet work before rehoming and MARS will cover the cost to desex the mother through our affiliated vet. This program not only assists those that may not be able to afford the cost of desexing their pet, but it also reduces the number of undesexed animals within the community.
