Gerdy's Rescues and Adoptions is a non-profit organization and registered charity.

Margaret was a passionate animal lover who gave generously of her time, whether transporting dogs, fostering, or helping wherever she was needed. Over the years she adopted many dogs, and her beloved companions, Tiramisu and Truffle remained by her side until the end. To honour her memory, Margaret and Michael's family have created a fund in their name so that her legacy of helping dogs find loving forever homes continues.

Debra was a super keen animal lover. Her and husband Ed adopted two abandoned brothers from Gerdy’s. These dogs had a rough start, and both had been re-homed 2x, prior to coming to Gerdy’s. When Debra fell ill in 2022 Snooky and Mackenzie were loyal caregivers, snuggling on her bed and making her smile.

Specifically established to assist people on limited income who are unable to cover all medical expenses for their much loved animals.This fund was founded by Tyler's family in his memory and that of their dear friend Cecily Davies in order to bring hope and comfort to both animals and people in their time of need.
