Geelong Animal Rescue GAR Limited is a registered not-for-profit organization, established in April 2012. Based in Geelong, Victoria, GAR is run by unpaid volunteers who are dedicated to the rescue and rehoming of unwanted animals. We are funded by the generous donations of animal welfare minded supporters. Welcome to Geelong Animal Rescue. Coconut Meet Coconut! Don't let her tiny size fool you—this beautiful little girl has a quiet confidence that shines through in everything she does. Although she was the smallest of her siblings, she's never left behind. Whether it's chasing the laser toy, exploring, or joining in a game, she's always eager to be part of the fun. Coconut’s siblings (Bounty, Toffee and Snickers) have all found their forever home and now it’s Coco’s turn! Coconut has a gentle, trusting nature and one... Read More Bounty Hi, I'm Bounty! If you're looking for a gentle, loving companion, I might just be your perfect match. I'm a sweet little boy who enjoys exploring my surroundings, playing with my toys, and then finding the comfiest spot in the house for a nap. Once I get to know you, I'll happily keep you company and love being part of whatever you're doing. I'm the kind of kitten who's just as happy curled up beside you on the couch as I am... Read More Scootie Meet Scootie! Scootie is a 13-year-old, very chatty lady looking for a calm and loving home to spend her golden years. Sadly, her owner passed away, and her world was turned upside down. While she’s safe in foster care, what she truly needs is a quiet home of her own. Scootie is in good health and up to date with all her vet work, including a recent dental where she had a clean and a few teeth removed—this hasn’t slowed her... Read More

🐈 SIMON 🐈
BREED: DSH
GENDER: Male
AGE: 1 year, 3 months
MICROCHIP: 953010007928451
GAR ID: 2372

Looking for a quirky, curious, pint-sized companion who will keep you smiling every day? Simon might just be your guy!

Though small for his age, this adorable little character more than makes up for it with charm, mischief, and his signature coo — yes, Simon coos like a pigeon.

Simon is an inquisitive shadow who loves to follow you around the house, supervise your daily tasks, and politely (or not so politely) invite himself to dinner. He thrives on attention, pats, and being part of whatever you’re doing. He’s also an enthusiastic player, with a bit of a rough-and-tumble style. Because he can get a little overstimulated or reactive if touched in certain spots, he’s best suited to a home without young children. But with adults or teens who understand cat body language, he’s an absolute delight.

When it comes to other cats, Simon isn’t instantly social — he’s more of a “choose my friends carefully” kind of boy. In saying that, he needs another feline friend to keep him entertained to prevent any destructive behaviors. He would either thoroughly enjoy living with a like-minded feline or would be thrilled to be adopted with his brother, Alvin. Simon has been an indoor only cat while in foster care and must continue this in his forever home for his own safety and the safety of our wildlife.

Simon's unique sounds have not been attributed to any chest issues and largely remain undiagnosed however, the vet does not believe it is a detriment to his health.

If you’re after a sweet, entertaining, wonderfully odd little companion who brings personality by the bucketload, Simon is ready to coo his way into your heart.

Simon is desexed, microchipped, up to date with vaccinations, flea and worm treatments.

Uh oh… Foster fail loading for Sam… 🥹

Is it really a failure though? We don’t think so!

If you’re thinking about adding a furry friend to your family, fostering is an amazing way to find your perfect companion.

You get to give a rescue dog a safe place to land, learn their personality, and see if they’re the right fit for your family, and sometimes, you realise they were home all along!

You never know who might steal your heart. 🐶💕

While fostering an animal is crucial to GAR, it is not something everyone can commit to.

If you are interested in supporting rescue animals with GAR, but can't foster, maybe one of our other opportunities is for you?

We are looking for volunteers to fill these specific roles:
Tin Rattle Coordinator
Media & Corporate Partnerships Coordinator
Inductions Officer - House checks

Or if volunteering on a more ad-hoc basis better suits you, we also need ongoing support for:
Transport of animals
Tin rattlers to help collect donations on the day

For more on these roles, visit our website:
www.geelonganimalrescue.org.au/donate-to-gar/volunteer/

Our current and future fosters thank you 🐾🩵

I have applied to foster with high potential to foster to adopt... oh my goodness I'd love Sam

Erin Mulder Cribb 💓

Love to adopt Sam

Bec Mitkiewicz 💕💕

My Murray would have been a foster failure if I hadn't adopted him. One reason why I don't think I could foster, plus not having enough room

Jay Moodie

I couldn’t foster I would fall in love with the dog and not want to give them back 💜❤️💜❤️

Sarah Lennon

Sandy Burn ... a other furry friend at home for Rosie?

Tori Napier

Consider Golden Retriever Rescue

Sarah Ross 😍

I am wondering if we could adopt instead of foster? We have 2 Goldie’s already and have a 5 acre property in Sth west Vic

Beck Douglas

One of my cats is a foster fail. 🐈‍⬛ Best 💜 Congratulations to Sam & his new family 💕
