Crisis Pet Care
Helping dogs, helping humans
Imagine needing somewhere safe to go, but not being able to take your dog. For someone experiencing homelessness, domestic and family violence, or another crisis, their dog might be one of the only constants in their life.
And sometimes, worrying about what will happen to their dog can become a barrier to getting the help they need.
That's where we come in.
Through our crisis pet care program, Common Ground Canine provides temporary, safe and loving care for dogs while their humans access accommodation, medical treatment or other support.

How our Crisis Pet Care Program Works
We work with frontline organisations and support workers to arrange temporary care for dogs whose humans are experiencing hardship or crisis.
Depending on the circumstances and our capacity, this may include:
-
Temporary overnight boarding while someone accesses crisis accommodation or medical treatment.
-
Short-term daycare while someone attends appointments or accesses essential support.
-
Grooming and other practical care where this helps address an immediate need.
Every dog receives the same thoughtful, attentive care we provide through our regular services. Their safety, comfort and wellbeing remain our priority.
Our aim is to remove one practical barrier so people can focus on their own safety, health and wellbeing, knowing their dog is being looked after.
