Caring for Our Local Community: Our Partnership with Forever Friends Animal Rescue
At Hyatt Place Melbourne Caribbean Park, our commitment to care extends beyond our walls. As part of our World of Care mission to support people, the planet, and responsible business practices, we are proud to announce our long-term partnership with Forever Friends Animal Rescue.
Forever Friends Animal Rescue is a volunteered run charity that rescues and rehabilitates the most vulnerable animals in our local community.
This partnership allows us to give back to our local community while championing the welfare of animals in need. Our efforts including yours will help fund essential operations, such as medical care, maintenance, and sustenance for the animals in need.
How We Are Helping
1. Dog Plushie Fundraiser
As part of our fundraising efforts, we are selling adorable animal plushies. These cuddly keepsakes not only make great gifts but also help support Forever Friends with all proceeds going towards the organisation.
2. Casual for a Cause Day
Our team is stepping up with a Casual for a Cause Day! Staff members are invited to dress casually for a donation, and all contributions will go directly to Forever Friends Animal Rescue. This initiative highlights our collective commitment to making a difference for animals in need.
3. Team Volunteering at the Sanctuary
Our team visit the sanctuary at a regular basis to volunteer. From caring for the animals to helping with daily tasks, it was a rewarding experience that reinforced our mission to give back to the local community.

Celebrating 15 Years at Forever Friends Animal Rescue
$15 for 15 years of saying yes
Fifteen years ago, Forever Friends Animal Rescue began with a simple, stubborn belief: Every life matters. Since then, our volunteers have worked around the clock to save thousands of animals. Abused dogs. Dumped kittens. Caged battery hens. The old. The broken. The ‘too hard’.
For fifteen years, when others said no, we said yes.
– Yes to the call at midnight for the kittens left in a dumpster.
– Yes to the traumatised dog everyone else had given up on.
– Yes to the ones who needed more time, more care, more belief.
As they celebrate this milestone, they’re also facing pressure on their day-to-day operating funds. Rising vet costs and increasing demand mean they need community support more than ever to keep saving lives.
If you can spare $15 today, it will immediately go to work. It puts food in bowls. It funds medication. It helps pay for urgent surgery. It allows them to answer the next call – and there is always a next call.
Fifteen years is something to celebrate.
But anniversaries don’t save lives. People do.
The next fifteen years start today.
Stand with them. Please help us keep saying ‘Yes’.
Together, we can help animals in need in the local community to get the care they need.
Through our partnership with Forever Friends Animal Rescue, we’re turning care into action—one paw at a time. Thank you for being part of this heartwarming journey with us. Let’s make a lasting impact for all animals in need.
