Animal Welfare League Qld takes care of thousands of strayed and abandoned companion cats and dogs from South East Queensland. The AWLQ receives no Government funding for welfare work, relying predominantly on the community for support.
As well as a high focus on rehoming, the AWLQ continues to increase community awareness about how to end the tragedy of pet overpopulation. Our goal is to bring an end to the euthanasia of healthy animals in Australia through legislative changes, education and awareness.
The AWLQ cannot continue its welfare work, caring for the communities homeless animals without the financial support of the community. The direct costs involved in the re-homing of each animal are approximately $660.00. This cost does not include the support staff that maintain the organisation, allowing the AWLQ to keep its doors open, or the veterinary clinics, which provide charitable veterinary care to the public.
