Supporters of the RSPCA Cupcake Day will whip up a batch and sell them through the Hunter shelter in the countdown to Monday's event.
As part of the initiative the Hunter shelter will also have a special on adoptions this weekend.
“The half price adoptions for dogs, puppies, cats and kittens will hopefully find these pets a new home,” customer service officer Julie Askew said.
“The cupcakes are a tasty way for people to support the shelter too.”
Vindaloo is a sweet and playful mastiff-cross pup available for $185 this weekend which is half his normal $370 adoption fee.
Eadie, a border collie cross, just turned one year old and is also up for adoption.
She loves company and a game of tug-of-war.
A modest $30 donation is enough to shelter and care for a dog.
A further $50 will heat a shelter in the cold winter months and $150 will help de-sex a kitten.
The national event will help the 56,000 animals that the RSPCA rescues, rehabilitates and re-homes each year.
