Sydney Dingo Rescue (SDR) is a registered Australian charity and animal advocacy organisation. Since 2013 we have worked tirelessly to rescue, care for, desex and rehome a variety of animal species with a particular focus on dingoes. Unfortunately, the welfare of dingoes often falls through the cracks. Despite being one of Australia's most iconic animals and a key apex predator vital to our Aussie eco-systems, dingoes are still hunted, baited, trapped and poisoned across Australia. It is time, as a nation, that we move towards more compassionate conservation methods.
5 Key Points About Our Program:
- 1. All of our rescue animals are desexed, microchiped and vaccinated.
- 2. All our rescue dingoes are housed in secure outdoor enclosures with the appropriate government permits.
- 3. We are a registered charity and have rehomed over 500 animals since 2012.
- 4. We believe compassionate, science-based conservation means caring about both introduced and native species and we work hard to assist researchers, universities and wildlife organisations.
- 5. We work with many native wildlife and animal welfare organisations including the Animal Rescue Cooperative, Dingo for Biodiversity Project, the Centre for Compassionate Conservation, WIRES, Possumwood Sanctuary and Wildlife Hospital, RSPCA Vic, The Animal Welfare League, World League for the Protection of Animals, and more as well as many council pounds and shelters.
supporting us
We are a volunteer run, small, grassroots charity and so you can sleep soundly knowing 100% of your donation will go directly to supporting animals in need.
We own a 100 acre bush sanctuary where we can provide a safe, secure home to our rescue animals, since moving our rescue centre here in 2018 we have worked on building bigger and better enclosures. We are committed to improving and expanding our facilities over time to give our residents the best lives possible while they await their forever homes.
We are a non-kill rescue and provide permanent sanctuary to any and all animals that come into our care who are not suitable for rehoming or cannot be released.
We run a variety of programs to assist animals who typically may not qualify for assistance, rescue or care from domestic or wildlife animal rescue services.
