PetRescue x The Print Bar: Introducing the My Furry Best Friend T-Shirt Competition

At The Print Bar, we believe the best t-shirts tell a story. This time, we're inviting you to help tell one that's all about the special bond between people and their pets.

We're excited to partner with PetRescue to launch the My Furry Best Friend T-Shirt Competition, giving artists, designers and pet guardians the chance to create a fundraising t-shirt that celebrates the joy our pets bring to our lives.

The winning design will be professionally printed by The Print Bar and sold by PetRescue, with proceeds helping PetRescue continue helping save the lives of rescue pets and giving more pets a second chance at finding a loving home.

About PetRescue

PetRescue is Australia's most trusted pet adoption platform and a national animal welfare charity on a mission to see every pet safe, respected and loved. Since launching in 2004, PetRescue has helped one million pets find love, connecting them with new families through a free platform built and backed by hundreds of rescue groups, shelters, councils, foster carers, volunteers and supporters across the country. That milestone isn't the finish line. Every September, thousands of Australians lace up for PetRescue's Best Friends Walk - a nationwide fundraising challenge that celebrates the bond between people and their pets while raising vital funds to help even more homeless pets find a new home. It's a mission built on connection, and one we're proud to support. 

The Theme: My Furry Best Friend

Whether it's your dog, cat, bunny, horse, bird, guinea pig, or another beloved companion, every pet has a story worth celebrating.

We're inviting you to create a t-shirt design inspired by your furry best friend and the joy, comfort, laughter and connection they bring to your life.

Your design can be funny, heartwarming, playful or deeply meaningful. It doesn't have to feature your pet directly - we're simply looking for creative artwork that captures the unique relationship we share with the pets who mean so much to us.
