LAST LITTER PROGRAM

Our Last Litter Program helps prevent unwanted litters and reduce the number of homeless pets. If your dog or cat has an accidental litter, we’re here to help.  By surrendering the entire litter to our care, we will arrange for Mum to be desexed at no cost to you. The puppies or kittens will receive the veterinary care they need, including desexing, microchipping and vaccination, before being adopted into loving, responsible forever homes.

Subject to our capacity and availability, we may also be able to assist with pregnant pets or mothers with very young litters by fostering them until the mother is ready to go back to her family. 

As a charity, places in our Last Litter Program are limited and made possible through donations. If we are unable to assist, we will provide information about other desexing and support services that may be available to you.

Our goal is simple: to give Mum a safe future without another litter and give her babies the best possible start in life.

Eligibility

• Hold a current Health Care Card or other recognised low-income concession card.
• Be the owner or legal guardian of the mother.
• Surrender the entire litter to Ollie’s Legacy for care and adoption.
• Transport, or arrange transport for, Mum to and from our nominated veterinary clinic as required.
• Follow all veterinary instructions regarding Mum’s care and discharge from the veterinary clinic, including any medication, rest or follow-up care required.
• The animal must be located within the Greater Bendigo area.

Our Last Litter Program is currently closed and we are unable to accept new animals into the program at this time. We will update this page when the program reopens.
