Things SCARS Needs
Thanks Sunshine Coast community for your continued generosity. At the moment we really need good quality dry Cat/Kitten and Dog/Puppy foods. Donations towards our veterinary costs really do help us out as well, so if you can spare $$ or donate health related products like worming or Heartgard products that would be great. Our daily wish list usually consists of:
For our Dogs
Good quality wet dog food (Advance, My Dog, Nature's Gift, Blackhawk). We require a range of Puppy, Adult and Senior foods.
Good quality dry dog food (Royal Canin, Eukanuba, Hills, Blackhawk, Advance). We require a range of Puppy (Large breed), Adult and Senior foods, as well as specialty diets such as Weight control, Renal and Intestinal.

What We Can’t Use
It also helps to mention that we are not able to use pillows, doonas with feathers, mattresses, foam, pillow cases, shredded paper, all of which unfortunately we have to dispose of - and our waste space is not large.
Big items we need
Do you, your company or community group want to donate a bigger item for the Refuge? Cleaning and maintaining the Refuge property is a big part of the work our volunteers do. There are a number of equipment items on our wishlist that we need.
If you would like to discuss other large items we need, please touch base with our Fundraising Coordinator on fundraising@sippycreek.com.au to learn more.
Containers for Change for SCARS
If you are in the habit of collecting and returning your eligible containers for recycling through the Containers for Change Program, have you considered paying forward the returned funds to SCARS?
