YOUR HEART, THEIR HOPE.

When we first met Oliver, a little Lhasa Apso, his tiny body was buried beneath severe matting- thick, painful knots pulling tightly at his skin. His nails had grown so long they made every step uncomfortable, and he was clearly suffering. 

No dog should have to live like that. 

But because you care, Oliver didn’t have to stay that way for long.  

Our team stepped in providing immediate veterinary care, and grooming Oliver to bring back his comfort and dignity. 

Because of you, Oliver is now resting safely in care - healing, learning to trust again, and beginning to show glimpses of the happy, affectionate dog he was always meant to be. 

When you give, you’re not just helping in the moment… You’re giving animals like Oliver the chance to feel safe, to heal, and to hope again. Thank you for your kindness. 

7,311 animals found loving homes last year.

11,283 animals cared for in the past year.

$0 government funding for our welfare work - we rely on your support.

IT'S MORE THAN JUST THE ANIMALS...

When you choose to support AWLQ, your generosity goes much further than just saving stray animals. Your kindness makes an impact on beloved pets, pet owners who need support, our brilliant foster carers, and the wider community. 

Alongside treating and rehabilitating animals in immediate need, we’re also fostering a future where every animal thrives through educational programs, community support, and early intervention. It’s about creating lasting change, not just one-off moments of care. 

And it’s only possible because people like you choose to be part of it. 

Your support helps us grow to impact more animals and more people.  

For every animal who finds their way to us, there are many people who access our programs and benefit from our work too. And because of you, we can be there for them too.

See your impact

You give recovering animals hope

Your kindness changes lives for animals who need more support, and time to recover outside of the kennels. Alex our foster carer for Oliver says: ‘We see firsthand how providing love, comfort and stability outside of the shelter for animals in recovery changes their lives." 

Fostering is about providing a safe, comfortable place where animals can take a break, a home where they can feel cared for while they wait for their forever family. 

Your gift helps provide food, medical care, and ongoing support to foster families, so more animals can have a safe place to land when they need it most.

 

"My animals are my lifeline"

You are keeping beloved pets with their owners. Jack* had recently left an unsafe situation and was navigating homelessness, and the cost of accessing microchipping and desexing services for his two cats felt completely out of reach.  

But thanks to fellow animal-lovers like you, he was able to access AWLQ’s CAT desexing program. Both of his cats were desexed and microchipped, easing anxiety around their health, and improving both their behaviour and safety.  

This is why your support matters so much.   

Keeping people and their pets together, especially during moments of crisis, can be life changing.
