We assist pet owners in the Canberra region with veterinary care to avoid economic euthanasia.

ACT Pet Crisis Support aims to help pet owners faced with an unexpected veterinary bill for their pet. We aim to support pet owners who would otherwise have to euthanase or surrender their beloved pet.

We recognise the vital part that pets play in the lives of people in the Canberra community. Pets are s source of companionship and are a vital support for many marginalised people.

ACT Pet Crisis was founded in March 2018 by a local Canberra Veterinarian who was devastated by lack of options for low-income pet owners. Pet owners with limited funds often needed to euthanase or surrender their pet if they were non-financial.

Since March 2018 over 1500 pets have been saved by the charity 

To further support pet owners, we also run regular volunteer-run Tiny Vet Clinics at Ainslie Village, Karabar and Kambah. These clinics are open to pet owners who have a Healthcare Card and would otherwise be unable to afford to take their pet to the vet.
