What if buying your dog's favourite treats could also help another dog find safety, comfort and a loving home?

At Bark with Buster, we believe that supporting animal rescue should be something we can all participate in, not just when a charity holds an event or launches an emergency appeal, but through the everyday choices we already make.

That's why we're delighted to welcome Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Rescue Queensland Inc. to Marvin's Legacy Fundraising Program, our ongoing fundraising initiative supporting Australian dog rescue organisations, shelters and animal welfare groups.

Through this partnership, supporters can purchase premium, natural Australian made dog treats while helping generate funds for the rescue.

And for Australian animal charities looking for a simpler way to raise money, there's something especially exciting about how this program works.

Your organisation earns 20% from qualifying purchases. We take care of the online store, product supply, orders, customer service, deliveries and fundraising administration.

No joining fees. No ongoing costs. No boxes of fundraising products to store or distribute.

Just Australian dog lovers supporting the organisations that care for dogs in need.

Welcoming Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Rescue Queensland

Some organisations exist because people see a problem. Others begin because someone cares deeply enough to do something about it.

Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Rescue Queensland is a wonderful example of the latter.

Established in 1997 on the Gold Coast, this registered Australian charity has dedicated decades to rescuing, rehabilitating, fostering and rehoming Cavalier King Charles Spaniels.

Their work supports Cavaliers who have been surrendered, abandoned or neglected, helping them receive appropriate care and find safe, loving homes.

Behind every successful rescue is a community of volunteers, foster carers, transporters and supporters who give their time, energy and compassion.

For many rescued Cavaliers, the journey towards a new home can involve veterinary treatment, dental care, vaccinations, rehabilitation and the patience of people willing to give them another chance.

As a volunteer operated organisation funded by community contributions, fundraising plays an essential role in making this work possible.

We admire the commitment of the people behind Cavalier Rescue Queensland and are proud to welcome them into our growing community of charity partners.

Want to Support Cavalier Rescue Queensland? Your Dog Treats Can Help

Here's the beauty of this partnership.

You don't need to attend a fundraising dinner, purchase raffle tickets or wait for a special charity event.

If you're already purchasing natural dog treats for your own dog, you can make those purchases more meaningful.

Simply shop Bark with Buster through Cavalier Rescue Queensland's dedicated fundraising link.

When you place an eligible order through that link, 20% of the qualifying purchase value goes towards supporting Cavalier Rescue Queensland through our fundraising program.

Your dog gets natural Australian made treats, and your purchase helps an organisation dedicated to giving rescued Cavaliers a better future.

Shop Bark with Buster and Support Cavalier Rescue Queensland

Every qualifying purchase is an opportunity to help. And when supporters return to shop again, the fundraising opportunity continues.

Contributions apply to eligible purchases made through the rescue's tracked link, in accordance with the program terms.

A Dog Fundraiser That Makes More Sense Than a Traditional Chocolate Drive

Let's talk about something familiar to almost every Australian community organisation: fundraising drives.

Chocolate boxes, raffle tickets, merchandise sales and community stalls have helped charities raise money for generations.

They can be wonderful initiatives, but they also involve work.

Someone needs to organise supplies, manage orders, collect payments, coordinate deliveries and follow up with supporters.

For small dog rescue groups already juggling veterinary appointments, foster placements, transport arrangements and adoption enquiries, that additional work can be difficult to manage.

We wanted to offer another option.

What if fundraising could happen through products people already buy, without the rescue organisation having to handle the products itself?

That's the thinking behind Marvin's Legacy.

Traditional product fundraising drive	Marvin's Legacy Fundraising Program
May involve buying or distributing fundraising stock	No product stock to purchase or store
Volunteers may collect orders and payments	Customers order and pay through Bark with Buster
Products may need to be packed or delivered by volunteers	Bark with Buster handles fulfilment and delivery
Often runs for a limited campaign period	Designed for ongoing fundraising
Requires promotional effort	Promotional materials and templates are supplied
May involve upfront costs	No joining fees or ongoing program fees
Proceeds depend on the individual drive	Rescue receives 20% of qualifying referred purchases

Traditional fundraising still has its place. We simply believe rescue organisations deserve more options, particularly ones that don't create additional operational responsibilities.

And because dog treats are something many dog owners purchase regularly, a successful referral partnership has the potential to provide continuing support rather than relying entirely on occasional events.

We Do the Work Behind the Sale. You Keep Doing the Work That Matters.

We know rescue organisations are busy.

You're caring for animals, responding to enquiries, organising foster homes, arranging veterinary care and helping dogs find suitable families.

You shouldn't need to become a product retailer to raise money.

That's why Bark with Buster manages the commercial and administrative side of our fundraising program.

We take care of:

• Product supply and online transactions
• Processing orders and arranging delivery
• Customer enquiries and returns
• Referral tracking and fundraising calculations
• Monthly payments to participating organisations
• Preparing initial marketing and promotional materials
• Providing ongoing partnership support

Your rescue organisation focuses on sharing the opportunity.

Once approved, you receive a unique fundraising link and promotional resources that can be shared with your supporters, volunteers, foster families and wider community.

That could be a Facebook post, an Instagram story, a newsletter announcement or a link on your charity's website.

You don't need to manage customer orders, hold stock or organise deliveries.

We handle those responsibilities so your volunteers can concentrate on the animals who need them.

How Much Could Your Dog Rescue Raise?

Every organisation has a different community, so actual fundraising results will depend on how many supporters purchase through its link and the value of qualifying orders.

Here's a simple illustration based on a 20% contribution.

Qualifying referred sales	Potential rescue contribution
$500	$100
$1,000	$200
$2,500	$500
$5,000	$1,000
$10,000	$2,000

These figures are illustrative, not guaranteed earnings. Actual contributions depend on qualifying purchases and the applicable program terms.

Imagine the opportunities if a rescue's existing supporters began directing their regular dog treat purchases through its fundraising link.

Instead of repeatedly asking people for additional donations, you're giving them a way to support your organisation through something they're already buying.

Marvin's Legacy: One Beautiful Life, A Future of Helping Many More

Marvin wasn't just another dog in our family.

Our beautiful Staghound cross was part of everything we built through Pet Stays Melbourne, Bark with Buster and Pet Spice.

He brought companionship, character and an extraordinary presence into our lives.

For years, he shared his world with other dogs, welcomed them into our family and reminded us why animal welfare matters so deeply.

When we lost Marvin to aggressive cancer in October 2026, we wanted his story to continue through something meaningful.

Something that could help other dogs receive the love and care every animal deserves.

That's why we renamed our charity initiative Marvin's Legacy Fundraising Program.

What began as our commitment to supporting Australian dog rescue organisations now carries the memory of a very special boy.

Through this program, we hope to help more rescue organisations build ongoing community support and give more dogs a chance at better lives.

Marvin may no longer be physically beside us, but his influence remains in the work we do.

One beautiful life. A legacy of love for thousands more.

Why Bark with Buster Created This Opportunity

Bark with Buster was founded by Jeannene Anchen and Reza Mohammed, who also built Pet Stays Melbourne.

With more than a decade of practical dog care experience behind us, we've spent years working with dogs of different ages, breeds, personalities and needs.

We understand the relationships people build with their dogs.

We also understand how much time, emotion and financial commitment can go into providing proper care.

As an Australian owned business specialising in natural, single ingredient, Australian made air dehydrated dog treats, we believe business growth should also create opportunities to give back.

Our goal isn't simply to sell more dog treats.

It's to build a business where customers can feel good about what they're purchasing and where some of that spending can support organisations doing important work in animal welfare.

We are proud to support rescue organisations and community groups throughout Australia through a practical, transparent fundraising model.
