The Pet Safety Net

MDBA Pacers (Preventing Animal Cruelty in Emergency Response Situations) came into being early in 2008 as an Emergency Assistance group for Animals. 

Members were heavily involved in assisting those who lost their homes and animals in the disasterous Black Saturday bushfires and were among the first in the area with truck loads of pet food donated by Proctor & Gamble and huge amounts of pet supplies donated by members all over Australia.
From this disaster MDBAPacers establised the red hat or banadana as recognition for their members in the field and organized a Buddy System to assist
pet owners to have someone to watch out for others animals in their absence and to take appropriate action should it be required such as removing the animals out of harms way.

MDBA Pacers is a completly seperate entity to the MDBA Pty Ltd, and a fully registered not for profit charity with tax deductable gift recipient status. Pacers have assisted in many emergency situations, working with several womens refuges by placing any animals involved  with registered foster carers, placing elderly pensioners animals in care while their owner has been hospitalized. The demand by so many for emergency help has been huge and Pacers is appealling for more members or donations Australia wide to allow us to be able continue assisting people and their animals in emergency situations.

We already have shelters in NSW and in Queensland with more planned for other states as we gain members and finances.

MDBAPacers also has all appropriate paperwork available for those who would be interested in setting up a Pacer club with the ability to assist animals within
their own community.
