SavourLife

So far we have been able to donate over $8 Million to over 284 rescue partners across the country but it's still not enough. Australia is in the grips of an animal welfare crisis and it's not showing any signs of slowing down. Our rescue partners go to extraordinary lengths to help these dogs find a positive outcome and right now they need more support than ever. We spent the day with ACT Rescue & Foster based in Canberra to get a glimpse at their hard work in action. #socialenterprise #adoptadog #adopt #rescuedog #dog

This week is Australian Made week and focused on bringing awareness to local businesses and brands made right here in our backyard. 🇦🇺 We have been proud to be able to wear the Australian Made Campaign on our packaging and to be one of the very FEW dog food companies to do so. Our Co founder Michael Mcteigue has always championed this since day one. When you buy Australian Made, you’re supporting local businesses, creating Aussie jobs, and enjoying products made to our high standards of quality. Look for the Australian Made logo when you shop, so you know you’re buying something genuinely Aussie!

We are very proud to announce that we were recently awarded Retail Supplier of the Year at the Inside Retail Retailer Awards 2024, Australia’s biggest, national retail award night.   The award was recognition of our collaboration with Petbarn in creating Rescue Month, where each February, SavourLife partners with the Petbarn Foundation to encourage Australians who are thinking of getting a pet, to adopt and give an animal in need their forever home. The initiative focuses on saving pups from pounds by providing additional funding to enable our rescue partners to bring puppies and dogs, many from high-risk regional and rural pounds, safely into their care until they are ready to be adopted. Funds that we donate together with the Petbarn Foundation, go towards the cost of transport, vet work, desexing, training, and food; all the work that’s required to get the pups ready for their new home. We’ve just completed Rescue Month 2024 which saw 30 rescue organisations come together to take part in over 80 in-store adoption events, actively driving adoptions of dogs rescued during the month and educating customers about rescue animals.   In the last three Rescue Months, SavourLife and the Petbarn Foundation have donated $700,000, helping save 1,149 pups from pounds. These are puppies and dogs that are at a real risk of euthanasia if a rescue organisation is not able to put their hand up and bring them into care. In many cases the barrier is financial, so knowing that that they have funding ready to cover most eventualities makes all the difference.    We are still a small, family-owned and operated business. Seeing our brand recognised alongside such huge names is an incredible achievement, one that our whole team is extremely proud of. The award is also fantastic recognition that our mission and impact in the rescue space is valued by the larger retail community.    We have some very exciting plans for the coming year and look forward to continuing to collaborate with like-minded partners to work towards achieving our mission of reducing the number of adoptable dogs euthanised in Australia to Zero.

Given the current landscape of what's happening right now in animal welfare we are so proud to be able to help make a difference to our rescue partners and the dogs who need them. #dogfoodthatmakesadifference #socialenterprise #australianowned #australianmade #theguardian

We’re very excited to be kicking off another Rescue Month with the Petbarn Foundation today! The Petbarn Foundation have donated $200k to help save pups from pounds. When you buy SavourLife food at Petbarn until 4th March, SavourLife will match up to $100k more, with a goal of helping 30 rescue groups across the country save 300 pups! Keep an eye on our socials to find out about all the adoption events planned throughout the month! #savourlife #rescuemonth #petbarnfoundation

Well that happened quickly! The last 12 months have been a very tough time for rescue groups all across the country, so we're very proud to have been a steadfast source of support during this challenging period. We've been busy working with rescues on longer term projects through our grant awards, providing consistent regular donations through our Adopt-A-Dog platform, and donating nutritious food for dogs in care. We've also been assisting with veterinary expenses and helping get dogs safely from pounds to rescue by covering transport costs. While helping strengthen our rescue partners with projects like shelter improvements allowing them to bring more dogs into care, we've also been supporting crucial preventative programs including desexing, veterinary cost relief, training, and vaccination initiatives. Although there is still so much more to do, we know with our loyal SavourLifer's support we will continue to make a real difference to the lives of rescue dogs and get closer to our mission of reducing the number of adoptable dogs euthanised in Australia to zero. We couldn't do any of this without your support of our Australian made food and treats - thank you! Our team wants to extend a heartfelt thank you to our remarkable rescue partners for their tireless dedication; words cannot adequately convey our gratitude for the invaluable work you do www.savour-life.com.au #savourlife #$7million #dogfoodthatmakesadifference

We are 10!  It’s unbelievable to think that is now true. I can still clearly remember the day we launched, and it seems both like yesterday, and also a lifetime ago, sitting in our tiny spare bedroom, clicking the button to make our website and Facebook page go live. Our tenth year has been massive! We passed some big milestones this year and have now donated over $6.5M to over 250 rescue groups nationwide. Our Adopt-A-Dog platform has now had over 55 million page views getting eyes on pups when they need help the most. That has helped us support the re-homing of over 51,000 dogs. Our tenth year unfortunately has also been the toughest our rescue partners have ever experienced, with a perfect storm of sky-rocketing abandonments and slowing adoption rates. I’d like to take a moment to acknowledge everything these little rescues do. They get very little thanks, and the work is relentless and often heartbreaking; but because of them tens of thousands of dogs get a second chance every year. All of us at SavourLife are incredibly proud to be supporting their work From starting out with just two treats, we now offer over 85 different products! We were excited to launch our very first raw frozen food range this year. We always like to give you what you ask for, so as a teaser, you can expect us to launch a completely different style of food in the next few months! We’ve also been working hard on our packaging sustainability. We could not do any of this it without the support of our awesome retail partners and you, our loyal and wonderful SavourLifers! A big shout out to my SavourLife team, the most incredible bunch of committed people that we are so lucky to have found to work with us. So, what does the next year hold and just as importantly the next 10? After we blow out the candles, its back to work. Rather than slowing down, we’re speeding up. We have some big, big plans over the coming years. We’ll work on helping our rescues build capacity and capabilities. We’ll work to prevent more dogs from being abandoned. We won’t stop until we achieve our mission of making sure no adoptable dog in Australia is euthanised. If I could go back in time to when we launched and ask myself to look into the future and write our 10th birthday post, never in my wildest dreams would I have thought I could write something like this. We have many people to thank for making this possible and the person reading this is one of them. Thanks for making us “dog food that makes a difference.” Michael and Kim
