Second Chance Animal Rescue
Iwan WALTERS (Greenvale) (13:18): I want to acknowledge the extraordinary work undertaken by the team at Second Chance Animal Rescue in my electorate of Greenvale and the army of volunteers who support them. I recently visited Marisa and her team at the SCAR shelter in Craigieburn and saw the incredible breadth of their care, including an animal hospital, crisis shelter, foster home and food bank that has now delivered over half a million meals to vulnerable pets. I also want to highlight SCAR’s safe house for pets program, providing free care for at-risk animals whose owners are facing enormous challenges as victim-survivors of domestic violence. I commend their passion to ensure the safety of not only beloved pets but also the clients themselves.
