Moorabool families are being asked to open their hearts and homes to an orphaned animal this month.

PetRescue will visit PETstock Bacchus Marsh this weekend to encourage families to give a rescued pet a home forever.

PetRescue co-founder Vicki Davy said orphaned animals faced a grim future without adoption.

“Giving an animal a new lease of life is incredibly rewarding and they’ll thank you every day with unlimited love and affection,” she said.

PetRescue will be at PETstock Bacchus Marsh from 10am-2pm on Saturday
