VOLUNTEER WITH US
Volunteers are at the heart of AWLQ. Your energy, time and compassion make it possible for us to provide a safe haven to thousands of animals every year.
MAKE A DIFFERENCE
Our volunteers make such a difference to the lives of the animals in our care by contributing their time in a variety of ways – from enriching the lives of animals, running our ops shops, or managing laundry; to collecting donations, fundraising at events, or providing community or admin support. Their commitment is second-to-none and we are continually inspired by their compassion.
Our animals would love nothing more than your company, support and time. Can you spare a few hours per week to help create a brighter future for animals in need?
