Golden Hearts - seniors' pet support program

ANIMAL WELFARE LEAGUE QLD’S GOLDEN HEARTS™ SENIORS PET SUPPORT PROGRAM IS A UNIQUE PROGRAM TO SUPPORT PEOPLE 65 AND OLDER WITH PET OWNERSHIP.

Golden Hearts™ supports its members with emergency foster care of their pet if they have to go into hospital. Members can also receive 50% off annual vaccinations through its Community Vet Clinics, plus 10% off everything else. We have discounted pet grooming and a pet-matching service if you don’t already have a pet.

We also support older people who need to transition into an aged-care facility that does not allow pets. Animal Welfare League Qld understands this is a very difficult time and offers a free surrender of a person’s beloved pet and try and match it with a loving new home in a similar environment to what it had.

Golden Hearts™ also has annual social events where members get to enjoy the company of like-minded people. It is completely free to join and supports a senior-aged person through every step of pet ownership whether they adopted their pet from us or not.
