Meet Sharyn Banks
In 2010, Sharyn Banks walked into her local pound and learned that two dogs were about to be put down not for anything they'd done, but simply because no one had come for them. She couldn't accept it. So she did something extraordinary: she took them home herself. From that single act of compassion, Red Collar Rescue was born.
In the fifteen years since, Sharyn has given these dogs everything she has. She's covered the cost out of her own pocket every vaccination, every desexing, every vet bill and full food bowl for animals who had run out of time and nowhere left to go. And as more frightened, abandoned dogs arrived, she opened up her quiet property near Childers to them, turning it into a place of warmth and safety. No dog was ever turned away. No dog was ever just a number to her.
Sharyn's love has saved more than 4,800 dogs, and it has never asked for anything in return. There's no government funding behind any of it only donations, and the people who refuse to let these dogs slip through the cracks. When you give to Red Collar Rescue, you carry that same kindness forward, and you make sure that no dog who needs us is ever turned away.
