FAQ

About the Animal Welfare League Qld, Inc.

When is the AWL open?

Every day except Good Friday and Christmas Day.

What are the AWL hours?

Monday to Sunday 10am to 5pm (including Public Holidays)

Do you have purebred kittens and puppies?

Yes. The Animal Welfare League occasionally care for both pure-bred kittens and puppies. However, it is more common for us to see pure-bred animals when they are around 1 year old which is the prime time for people to tire of them and want another kitten or puppy!

Do you keep a waiting list for certain breeds?

No, because we simply receive far too many requests. If you are after a particular breed, you need to check our rehoming centre regularly as they are rehomed on a 'first come, first served' basis.

Do you put animals on hold?

No.

Do you board cats and dogs for the public while they are on holidays?

No. We do not have the space available for boarding. See your Yellow Pages for listings of commercial boarding kennels and catteries. Always visit them prior to making a booking.

How much time do the various cats and dogs have before they are euthanased?

Once checked up for sale, our animals remain for sale for as long as it takes for that perfect home to come along! We do not ever euthanase them on the grounds of taking too long to sell, because we all bond with them and fall in love with them too!

What are the phone numbers to the Animal Welfare League and the Clinic?

AWL: 07 5509 9000
Clinic: 07 5594 0111

How do I find you?

Traveling along the M1, take Exit 62 and drive straight along past the entrances for Westfield and Helensvale, through three sets of traffic lights and we are the next left, which is Shelter Road. One km along Shelter Road, you will see our buildings on your right.

Are your animals desexed and / or microchipped?

Yes, all animals sold by the Animal Welfare League are both desexed and microchipped, even the kittens and puppies.

May I bring my dog to meet the dog I am considering purchasing?

Yes, please do! In fact, if you do have another dog, we want you to bring that dog into the neutral area that we have so that they can meet and we should all have a clear indication of whether they will be suitable together. If you have children, it's a good idea to do the same when selecting an animal from us.

What types of payments do you accept?

Cash, Visa, Mastercard and EFTPOS only.
Sorry, no cheques, Diners or AMEX.
