Fred came into the Noosa shelter as a stray puppy in December last year, capturing the hearts of all the staff who cared for him.

Fred was soft, loving, and enjoyed the company of other dogs.

The Noosa team were thrilled when he finally found a forever family as he had been waiting 251 days for a new home.

Fred’s new family immediately fell for his charm and playful side. Since finding his forever home he has adapted to family life well and looks fantastic.

The community can help other animals like Fred this September, as RSPCA’s sweetest annual event Cupcake Day is returning.

Now in its 16th year, supporters across the country can get together, share great food, and raise money to help provide love, care, shelter, and warmth to animals in need.

RSPCA Queensland is asking Australia to join them to host, share, care this September.

By hosting a Cupcake Day event at home, school, or work, supporters can help raise funds to support the RSPCA.

Last year, over 87,000 animals turned to the RSPCA for help, 42,949 of those were in Queensland with Cupcake Day a sweet way to support them.

Take Fred for example.

RSPCA Queelsand spokesperson Emma Lagoon said, “We all know someone who loves to bake, so nominate them to create and you can donate.”

“It’s heartwarming to see passionate animal lovers getting creative and supporting hundreds of animals in our care today through fundraising.”
