SAVE LIVES EVERY TIME YOU SHOP WITH THE BENDIGO RSPCA RESCUE VISA

If your credit card statements are getting you down, you may be able to save some animals in need and take the guilt out of using your credit card at the same time!

The RSPCA has joined forces with Bendigo Bank and VISA International to create an exciting range of credit cards that offer Australians a brand new way to help one of our nation’s favourite charities.

The Bendigo RSPCA Rescue VISA card is unlike any other, because when you use your card to make a purchase or pay a bill, you’ll be helping the RSPCA save lives.

The RSPCA is Australia’s best known animal welfare charity, accepting more than 135,000 lost, abandoned or injured animals from the community each year. With only 3% of funding provided by the government, RSPCA Australia depends on the community to enable us to continue this vital work.

Now, giving your support to the animals that so desperately need it is easier than ever.

RSPCA Rescue Cards Product Information

Available in four bright, colourful and unique designs, each Bendigo Bank RSPCA VISA card features the image of a real animal the RSPCA has rescued – true stories that are a reminder of why your support is so important.

Here are their stories:

	Taco & Bella It’s a big world to a little dog, especially when you are left to wander the city streets alone. That’s the story of Taco (left) and Bella (right), two tiny Chihuahua cross puppies that were just 8 weeks old when these photos were taken. The street-wise double act were found by a kind member of the public and brought to the RSPCA, when they were treated with tender loving care before each was adopted out to a happy new home.
	Bunker A homeless kitten finds shelter where it can, and tiny Bunker was just 3 weeks old when he was found in the hollow nook of an automatic teller machine. Fostered by an RSPCA staff member until he was healthy and old enough to go to a new home, Bunker decided he was far too comfortable right where he was! His foster parents weren’t about to argue so Bunker now lives happily with the family that includes three dogs and two other cats.
	Miley She cuts a glamorous figure these days but it was a very different story when Miley first came to the RSPCA. It was touch and go when this fluffy little terrier was rescued by the RSPCA after being found by the side of the road, critically injured and left to die. Weeks of intensive care and rehabilitation by dedicated RSPCA staff followed, and at last, Miley pulled through. She is now fully recovered and is the light of her adopted parents’ life!
	Rugby Age isn’t going to slow this old trooper down – well, not much…. Rugby is a true blue Australian Cattle Dog cross, who just needed a little help from the RSPCA after suffering a leg injury. Patient, loyal and dependable, as befits a gentlemen of his credentials, Rugby’s good manners and excellent training have made him a favourite with all the girls at the RSPCA. But he’s more interested in finding a new best mate with whom he can sit and watch the world go by.

The Bendigo RSPCA Rescue Visa also supports the RSPCA’s brand new national pet adoption website – visit www.adoptapet.com.au to view pictures and details of animals awaiting adoption in RSPCA shelters across Australia.
