Gosford accounting firm Tax Stuff has joined forces with SoCares to support animal rescue efforts on the Central Coast.
The animal rescue organisation received a $20 donation from Tax Stuff for every tax return filed during July and August this year – amounting to a total $4,060.
Tax Stuff plans to run the program again next year to help support SoCares in their vital work to rehome dogs and cats across the Central Coast and to help provide food and supplies for the animals in care.
Owner/director of Tax Stuff Brad Anthonisz said he had a special connection to SoCares, having adopted his beloved dog Charlie, a cheeky staffy x ridgeback, from their Charmhaven shelter in 2022.
“Since then, Charlie has become an integral part of my life and even serves as the unofficial mascot of Tax Stuff,” he said.
“I’m a huge advocate for the incredible work that SoCares does for the Central Coast community.
“When I adopted Charlie, I saw first-hand the dedication of the team to animal welfare.
“Charlie has brought so much joy into my life, and I knew I wanted to give back in some way.
“I encourage anyone looking for a pet or a worthy cause to support to consider SoCares,” Anthonisz said.
SoCares (Society of Companion Animal Rescuers) manages the only two animal shelters on the Central Coast – Charmhaven and Erina – in partnership with Central Coast Council.
Since 2014, SoCares has been a leader in pound reform, rehoming stray animals and helping them find loving homes.
As a registered not-for-profit charity, SoCares plays a vital role in the local community, ensuring the welfare and care of countless animals.
