Our Programs

Home / Our Programs

Our amazing Community Outreach programs help to make Lort Smith truly unique. Our flagship projects focus on the human-animal bond, helping young people at risk, cancer patients in hospital and the elderly in care, just to name a few.

While Lort Smith is perhaps most well-known for vet care and adoption services, we also offer a range of community-focused programs to help people in need, as well as their pets. We receive no ongoing government funding – this work relies on the support of donors.

Impacting the Melbourne community

Financial consultants Ernst & Young analysed Lort Smith’s work in 2017 and quantified the value of the social benefit we deliver to the Melbourne community as being worth $10.1 million each year. We know every one dollar in donations we put towards out socially-focussed programs returns three dollars in benefits to the community.

Please donate today so we can continue these vital services.
