Willy's One of a Kind Story

This is the incredible story of Willy. Willy arrived at AWLQ with a one-of-a-kind issue: two penises, two tails and a severely nerve-damaged hind leg, impacting his ability to walk. 

AWLQ designed a world-first surgery for Willy’s one-of-a-kind anatomy, amputating his leg and both extra appendages to give Willy the chance at a happy and healthy life.

And that’s what can happen when a community of animal lovers comes together.  

The vets who performed his surgery.   

The foster carers helping him recover.   

The volunteers who support our animals every day.   

And you. 
Your support empowers this vital work. 

IN THE PAST YEAR...

11,614 animals have received urgent shelter and care

7,409 animals have found their forever homes

4,126 animals nurtured by our foster carers

2,244 lost pets reunited with their loving families

Your kindness is transforming animal lives

Today, your compassion can help bring animal lovers and animals together so that more people can experience that bond. 

Your kindness can help keep animals safe, loved and with the people who cherish them.

Your care helps us provide vital veterinary services and outreach programs to your community. 

And because your donation will be matched dollar for dollar, you'll have twice the impact for animals and the families who love them. 

Donate now and have your gift doubled.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is AWLQ Giving Day? How does it work? 

add remove

Giving Day is about bringing a community of animal lovers together to support animals in need and the people that love them.  

It is a chance to come together across our community, Rehoming Centres, Community Vet Clinics, and Thrift Shops to make a huge impact for animals in need in just a single day. 

Giving Day will run for 24 hours on Thursday 17th September, beginning at midnight and continuing until 11:59pm that night, with the goal to raise $300,000! 

How can I support AWLQ Giving Day? 

add remove

You can support AWLQ Giving Day by making a kind donation. 
All support on Giving Day supports your local Rehoming Centre, Community Vet Clinic and our Outreach and Education programs. Your compassion empowers this vital work in your community.  

On Giving Day, every donation is doubled thanks to generous matching partners and donors until the matched pool is complete. For example: 
 
A $50 donation becomes $100 
A $250 donation becomes $500 
 
Donations can be made online, at any of our Rehoming Centres, Community Vet Clinics or Thrift Shops or by calling (07) 5509 9033. You can also help by sharing AWLQ’s Giving Day with your family, friends or local community. 

What does ‘matched dollar-for-dollar’ mean? How is my impact doubled?  

add remove

When you donate, an additional donation is automatically added from our generous pool of matched partners and donors. For example, if you choose to donate $100, a second $100 donation is added to your donation from matched partners and donors, increasing the total raised to $200, doubling your donation and doubling the impact your compassion can have. 

 Thank you so much to our generous matched partners and donors, we truly couldn’t do this without you. 

Where do the funds go? 

add remove

Your kind donation will go towards keeping animals safe, loved and with the people who cherish them. Whether this means supporting the cost of rehoming the animals in our shelters and helping them find forever homes, funding our shelter clinic to save animals that don’t have a family, or supporting us to provide vital veterinary services through our Community Vet Clinic, your donation will go to where it is needed most and help animals in need and the people who love them. 

Thank you to the kind animal-lovers bringing hope to animals in need

Your compassionate donation has been doubled to provide twice as much food, shelter, vet treatment, and love for the animals in our shelter right now, and beloved pets and their families in your community.
