Humane Animal Rescue is a small rescue founded and run by Grace who spent over 10 years fostering dogs in several rescues in Melbourne and was sick of seeing dogs be treated inhumanely within the rescue environment.
HAR has no paid employees, we are run by dedicated volunteers and have received no government funding.
HAR is operated by a range of incredible volunteers who do data entry, admin, case management, events, transport and supported by our leadership team of Tanisha Mifsud, Jez Winters & Keely Hamilton. Our leadership team all work full-time in addition to operating HAR. Our leadership team reports to our board of directors.
This page is for our incredible volunteers to access with information about fostering & volunteering.

Fostering Faqs
Supply Requests
The cost for rescuing and caring for animals often is double than what the adoption fee is, we strive to provide resources for our incredible foster carers, but don't often have the funds to do so. We fundraise and source donations with our donation bins at Pet Stocks and Pet Barns around Melbourne. Donation bin information here.
Because of this, we ask minimum one week and ideally two weeks of time to source the supplies you need. When you need supplies please message your case manager and tell them what brand & type you require and we will organise this for you.
We do not reimburse for purchases, please see the bottom of the page for our policies.
We really appreciate you being here, without our foster carers we cannot save animals.
