Bark with Buster Proudly Supports Pets of the Homeless at Drag Bingo 2026

At Bark with Buster, we believe business should create something meaningful beyond the products it sells.

That is why we are incredibly proud to support Pets of the Homeless and its sold out Drag Bingo 2026 event, taking place on Saturday 15 August at The Sandbelt Hotel in Moorabbin.

Hosted by Millie Anne Problems and Eliza Lot, the event brings together entertainment, a buffet dinner, prizes, raffles and an auction, all in support of vulnerable people and their beloved pets.

Bark with Buster has donated a premium hamper filled with natural Australian dog treats and Pet Spice meal toppers for the event auction.

It is a colourful hamper packed with products dogs will genuinely enjoy, but the meaning behind it reaches much further.

Meet the Fabulous Hosts

The sold out Drag Bingo fundraiser will be brought to life by Melbourne performers Millie Anne Problems and Eliza Lot, promising an evening filled with comedy, dancing, glamour and plenty of personality.

For Millie, the connection to Pets of the Homeless is especially personal. Away from the stage, she works as a dog groomer and generously donates her time and skills to help people doing it tough, including Pets of the Homeless clients. Bringing her love of animals and entertainment together makes her the perfect host for an event dedicated to keeping people and their pets together.

Joining her is Eliza Lot, a Melbourne performer, host and DJ known for energetic performances, dancing and getting a room on its feet. Together, Millie and Eliza will bring the fun while helping shine a brighter light on the vital work of Pets of the Homeless.

Helping Keep Best Friends Together

For people experiencing homelessness or financial hardship, a pet can provide companionship, comfort, security and an important sense of connection.

Pets of the Homeless helps vulnerable people care for their animals through pet food assistance, veterinary support and temporary safe shelter when circumstances make caring for a pet difficult.

Its work recognises something every dog lover understands.

Pets are not simply possessions. They are family.

During a period of crisis, people should not be forced to choose between accessing support and remaining with the animal they love. Pets of the Homeless works to protect that bond by helping people and pets remain together whenever possible.

That purpose deeply connects with our own values at Bark with Buster.

What Is Inside the Bark with Buster Auction Hamper?

We wanted the winning bidder to take home more than a few bags of treats. We created a hamper offering different proteins, textures and uses, from training rewards and everyday treating to mealtime variety and satisfying chew time.

Pet Spice Dog Meal Toppers

Our Pet Spice dog meal toppers can be sprinkled over wet or dry food to add natural aroma, flavour and variety. They are particularly useful for fussy dogs that need a little more encouragement around the bowl.

Beef Liver

Our Beef Liver dog treats are naturally rich in aroma and easy to break into smaller pieces. A popular choice for training, recall practice and everyday rewarding.

Kangaroo Cubes

Bark with Buster Kangaroo Cubes are convenient, bite sized rewards made from Australian kangaroo. Their compact size makes them easy to carry during walks and training sessions.

Chicken Hearts

Our Chicken Hearts are made from Australian chicken hearts and air dehydrated to preserve their natural meaty aroma and flavour. Useful for quick rewards and training moments.

Lamb Lung Crisps

Our Lamb Lung Crisps offer a light, airy and crunchy texture. They can be given whole or broken into smaller pieces, making them a practical option for dogs of different breeds, sizes and ages.

Beef Lung Cubes

Our Beef Lung Cubes are light, crunchy treats that are easy to portion. They work well as training rewards, enrichment game prizes or everyday treats for dogs that enjoy a satisfying crunch.

Kangaroo Tail Lumbar Split

The Kangaroo Tail Lumbar Split adds a more substantial chewing experience to the hamper. Designed for medium to large dogs that enjoy working on a natural chew. Always offer under supervision.

Together, these products provide a mix of training rewards, natural treats, mealtime toppers and chew time enrichment, while representing the Australian made quality Bark with Buster is known for.

Turning One Event Into Ongoing Support

Donating an auction hamper is one meaningful way we can help, but animal rescue and welfare organisations need support throughout the year.

That is why we created the Bark with Buster Charity Partner Program.

The program gives eligible Australian dog rescues, foster networks, welfare organisations and community canine groups an opportunity to raise ongoing funds through products their supporters are already purchasing.

Once approved, each organisation receives its own unique fundraising link. When supporters purchase Bark with Buster products through that link, the partner organisation receives 20% from qualifying product sales connected to its account. Supporters pay the usual product price, with the contribution coming from Bark with Buster.

We Handle the Orders, Your Organisation Shares Its Link

The program has been designed to avoid creating more administration for already busy rescue and community teams. Bark with Buster manages product supply, order processing, delivery, customer service, fundraising tracking and monthly payment calculations. The partner organisation simply shares its unique fundraising link with supporters.

Approved partners also receive a practical starter kit including social media graphics, newsletter wording, website copy and a printable QR code poster. There is no joining fee, no minimum sales target and no fixed participation period.

Who Can Apply?

The program welcomes applications from eligible Australian organisations including animal rescue organisations, foster networks, registered shelters and pounds, greyhound adoption groups, assistance and therapy dog organisations, dog sport and canine welfare groups, veterinary charities and community animal welfare programs.

Celebrating Pets of the Homeless

We are grateful for the opportunity to support Pets of the Homeless and contribute to its Drag Bingo 2026 auction.

The event may be filled with glamour, entertainment and laughter, but behind it sits a deeply important purpose: helping vulnerable people continue caring for the animals that mean so much to them.
