National pet adoption day

NATIONAL PET ADOPTION MONTH

With cats dominating the adoption landscape, closely followed by large dogs and bonded pairs, PETstock Assist is encouraging would-be pet owners to Adopt Different this March - to adopt animals who are most in need.

Throughout March, PETstock Assist will celebrate its annual National Pet Adoption Month, to help change the lives of rescue pets and humans and break the cycle of pet homelessness in Australia. All pets deserve a safe and loving home, and National Pet Adoption Month is the perfect opportunity to adopt or foster a cat that needs you, a pair that is bonded for life, or a dog with more to love in an effort to break the cycle of pet homelessness in Australia.

New pet owners and animal lovers across Australia are being urged to engage with their local PETstock store and rescue group throughout March for further information on the adoption or fostering process. To find out more, or to check out a PETstock store located near you, head to www.petstock.com.au or to begin the search to become a rescue pet parent or foster carer please visit www.petrescue.com.au.

How it works:

PETstock provide space in their stores for animals in need of a new home

They make free space, temporary or permanent, available in-store for rescue groups to find forever families for adoptable pets. This gives potential pet parents the chance to meet rescue pets in a positive, convenient and friendly environment.

In no way does PETstock profit from the program

100% of all adoption fees go straight to the rescue group. These fees cover each pet’s desexing procedure, microchipping, vaccinations and parasite control, and a thorough medical and behavioural assessment – all of which happens before each pet is adopted!

Adoptions are done by rescue members who know their animals the best

Rescue groups provide potential adoptees with information they need about adopting a particular pet, as well as provide support to new adoptees to introduce their new pet into their family.

Every year 80,000 urban stray cats are killed by councils as a way of managing unowned animals. The euthanisation of cats has proven to be pointless, as the remaining cats produce larger, healthier litters due to less competition for food sources.

Save time, money and worry when paying your nanny.

Australian law determines that most Australian Nannies need to be properly employed. Our services allow parents to set up a fair and legal working arrangement with a professional nanny.

Paying your nanny on a payroll will give you peace of mind to know that you are meeting all your legal requirements as an employer.

Why pay your nanny on a payroll? Secure a professional

Employing your nanny demonstrates that you take their career seriously. Employment security helps your nanny commit to your role long term. Pay superannuation

As workers in Australia, nannies have the right to be paid superannuation. Have peace of mind knowing you’re helping your nanny plan for their future. Pay tax

We’ll make all PAYG (tax) instalments to the ATO, allowing your nanny to effectively manage their EOFY and meet your legal obligations for Single Touch Payroll. Cover yourself

Properly employing on a payroll ensures you’re meeting your obligations, removing the liability you would face when paying cash in hand.
