Look into their eyes as they look into our souls
We rescue and provide care for countless maltreated, neglected, abandoned, homeless cats and dogs. Your support is crucial in this endeavor. Whether you choose to foster, adopt, or donate, you can make a difference in helping us to save their lives.
Genesis Animal Welfare is committed to rescuing cats and dogs and stop them enduring cruelty, starvation, and the threat of painful death.
As a non-profit organization, we facilitate connections between foster caregivers and potential adopters, ensuring each animal discovers a caring, forever home. While based in Ultimo, our efforts extend far and wide, reaching out to save animals in distress from diverse locations.
Each year, countless pets are abandoned, neglected and face euthanasia. These animals are in dire need of care and can face horrible painful deaths. We offer them a second chance at life.
Our volunteers tirelessly rescue cats and dogs from Ultimo and neighboring regions,responding to calls from members of the public, concerned owners and veterinarians.
We are immensely grateful for our dedicated foster caregivers, whose compassionate efforts save the lives of countless animals annually. If you’re interested in becoming a foster caregiver please contact us.
When you adopt, you save a loving animal by making them part of your family and open up shelter space for another animal who might desperately need it. Opening your heart to one of these animals is magic
If you’re unable to accommodate an animal, there are alternative ways you can assist. We constantly require food, transportation and veterinary care for our animals. The smallest gift of time can make the biggest difference for them.
