WELCOME TO ANIMAL WELFARE LEAGUE QUEENSLAND

SAVING LIVES SINCE 1959

For the past 65 years, Animal Welfare League Queensland has saved more than 175,000 animals. But we can only continue our life-saving work thanks to your support.

Making a donation, adopting an animal, visiting our Community Vet Clinics or shopping at our Op Shops are just some of the ways you can directly support animals in need.

Thank you for joining us on our journey to help save thousands of animals every year.
