At Pink for Leasy, we believe one simple truth:
Dog attacks are preventable.
Our mission is to honour the life and legacy of Annalyse Blyton by creating safer communities through education, responsible pet ownership, community awareness, and meaningful legislative reform.
We recognise that dogs are an important part of Australian life. Millions of families share their homes with companion animals, and responsible dog ownership enriches our communities. With that privilege, however, comes a responsibility to protect both people and animals.
We believe prevention begins long before a dog attack occurs.
📚 It begins with education.
🖐️ It begins with responsible ownership.
⚠️ It begins with recognising warning signs.
🙋 It begins with taking concerns seriously.
It begins with communities, local councils, and governments working together.
Our mission is not to blame dogs or promote fear. Instead, we advocate for practical, evidence-based solutions that reduce risk and prevent tragedy before it happens.
What We Stand For
🩷 Education
We believe every dog owner should have access to education that promotes responsible ownership, understanding canine behaviour, and safe interactions between people and dogs.
🩷 Responsible Pet Ownership
Owning a dog is a lifelong commitment. Responsible ownership includes appropriate training, secure containment, proper socialisation, registration, desexing where appropriate, veterinary care, and recognising when a dog may present a risk to others.
🩷 Prevention
We believe communities are often the first to recognise warning signs. Roaming dogs, repeated escape incidents, aggressive behaviour, and irresponsible ownership should never be ignored. By identifying risks early and encouraging reporting, we can help prevent more serious incidents.
🩷 Evidence-Based Reform
Meaningful change requires evidence. Through community surveys, research, and engagement, we are working to better understand the issues facing our communities and advocate for practical improvements to legislation, policy, education, and enforcement.
🩷 Community Engagement
Creating safer communities is a shared responsibility. We work alongside community members, schools, organisations, councils, elected representatives, and supporters who share our vision of preventing future tragedies.
Our Vision
We envision an Australia where responsible pet ownership is the standard, communities feel empowered to report concerns, education is accessible to every dog owner, and legislation is proactive rather than reactive.
A future where preventable dog attacks become increasingly rare because risks are recognised and addressed before lives are changed forever.
Our Promise
Every conversation we have, every event we attend, every survey completed, every resource shared, every meeting with decision-makers, and every person who wears Pink for Leasy contributes to one purpose:
To ensure that Annalyse’s legacy becomes one of prevention, awareness, and lasting change.
Because no family should have to experience the unimaginable loss that ours has.
Your Voice. Her Legacy.
