DONATE TO HELP US COVER CRITICAL AREAS OF NEED
Every year, thousands of surrendered and stray animals find their way to our shelter, seeking veterinary treatment, refuge and care.
From the moment they arrive until the day they find their forever homes, our committed team of vets, foster carers and volunteers work tirelessly to provide them with the support they need.
However, this level of care comes with its challenges and expenses. We cannot do it alone.
Your donation today can truly change lives. Your contribution directly impacts the well-being, health, and happiness of these companion animals who rely on us.
Join us in making a difference. Donate now to support our critical mission.

"EVERY ANIMAL THAT COMES THROUGH OUR DOORS RELIES ON US TO PROVIDE THEM THE BEST CARE THAT WE CAN...
. . . and we rely on you, the community, for generous donations to make this happen.”
- Mikaela Thrift, Rehoming Manager,
AWLQ Gold Coast Animal Rehoming Centre


With the rising cost of living, the influx of stray and surrendered animals to our shelter continues to grow.
You see, we’re usually their only hope… but we’re often unimaginably stretched to capacity.
For the past 65 years, Animal Welfare League Queensland (AWLQ) has been embracing a brighter future for animals in need. And we do all of this with no Government funding for our welfare work.
As the cost for caring for so many animals rises, especially for vital veterinary care, we really need your support
Please help us with a life-saving donation.


In the past year alone, generous contributions like yours have made a profound difference in the lives of animals facing uncertain futures. Thanks to your support:

11,614 animals receiving urgent shelter & care

7,409 animals finding their forever homes

4,126 animals nurtured by our foster carers

2,244 lost pets reunited with their loving families
DONATE TO COVER A PET'S URGENT NEEDS
Our welfare work is 100% Donor Funded.
Our welfare work relies entirely on the generosity of donors like you. With no government funding, every dollar you contribute directly impacts the lives of animals in need.
The most significant area of expenditure is veterinary care, which also yields the most life-saving results.
Please consider making a tax-deductible donation today. Your contribution, no matter the amount, makes a tangible difference in the lives of vulnerable animals.
We help them heal. But your donation gets them home.
You have the power to grant a wish for a shelter animal.
With an average cost of $968 for preparing a dog and $982 for a cat for their new homes, your generous support will help them find a happy home.
Thank You for Getting Them Home...

I took a young stray cat to Willawong a few days ago and the staff were very kind and helpful. I know all the animals there are in good hands.
