Get Involved

Volunteering at SCARS isn't glamorous — but it is rewarding.

From dog walking to cat cuddling, op shop shifts to event support — our volunteers are the heart of everything we do.

Where you can help

Get our dogs out on the trails and into the world — rain or shine.

Spend time socialising our cats and kittens so they're ready for their forever home.

Cleaning, feeding, laundry — the unglamorous work that keeps the place running.

Help out at our op shop in Maroochydore — sorting, serving, displaying.

Trivia nights, raffles, adoption days — help us run the fundraisers.

Open your home to a pet who isn't quite ready for the refuge environment.

The heart of SCARS

240+ humans showing up week in, week out — feeding, walking, fostering, fundraising and rehoming. They're why this place runs.
