Heartbreaking detail in Bunnings’ dog hoodie
Hardware giant Bunnings Warehouse has launched an unexpected fashion line for our furry friends – with a heartbreaking story underpinning the charity drive.
www.perthnow.com.auHere’s the latest I can share based on recent reporting.
Direct answer
- Bunnings has launched limited-edition dog hoodies as part of its Stores for Paws campaign to support PetRescue, with proceeds helping shelter pets. The hoodies were marketed at around $10 in Australia, with a portion of each sale donated to PetRescue, and the campaign ran as a weekend event in mid-April 2026. This initiative has been covered by multiple outlets and tied to ongoing pet-adoption fundraising efforts.
Context and sources
- The campaign was described as a charity effort linked to PetRescue, aiming to raise funds for shelters and increase adoption awareness during a Stores for Paws weekend in April 2026 [news coverage from PerthNow, Oversixty, and related outlets]. The hoodies were presented as limited-edition apparel for dogs, with a price point around $10 and a portion donated to the charity [PerthNow: New Bunnings dog hoodies to raise funds for pets needing forever homes; Oversixty: Bunnings launches limited edition dog hoodies for a good cause]. The broader Stores for Paws initiative has previously raised substantial funds and supported hundreds of pet adoptions [PerthNow; Oversixty; LaFM coverage].
What this means for you
- If you’re in Buffalo, NY, you won’t find these Australian campaigns in local Bunnings stores (as Bunnings operates in Australia and New Zealand, not the U.S.). If you’re interested in similar charity efforts here, I can help you find local pet-rescue initiatives or fundraising campaigns run by retailers in the U.S.

- Look for equivalent American retailer campaigns supporting pet rescues or local shelters?
