THANK YOU

AWL's annual Giving Day was on March 21, where donations were DOUBLED to help pets in need.

Thanks to our wonderful community of animal-lovers and matched giving partners we exceeded our goal before midnight! Your incredible generosity means we can help even more animals in need.

Together, we're giving these vulnerable animals hope for a bright future full of love.

Campaign update

We have been blown away by the amazing response to our Giving Day campaign!

The outpouring of love for the animals in our shelter has been incredible, and we are so grateful for each and every person who made a kind donation.

Our wonderful community of animal-lovers opened their hearts to help provide food, shelter, vet treatment and love for TWICE as many pets in our shelter.

And of course, none of this would be possible without our matched giving partners who pledged to match the generous donations made on Giving Day.

THANK YOU to every single person who supported Giving Day. Your compassion and kindness will give vulnerable animals a second chance at a happy life full of love ❤️ 🐾

Why we need your support

Each week, more than 100 stray, lost and abandoned pets are brought into AWL. They're alone, scared, and in desperate need of help.

We often don't know where they came from, but with a bit of training and veterinary care, your generosity will mean we know where they're going: a safe and comfortable new home with a loving family.

AWL is 100% community funded, which means the cats and dogs in our shelter rely on loyal animal lovers like you to give them the second chance they deserve. Your love and support will give them hope for a brighter future.

By donating to AWL's Giving Day, you can DOUBLE the impact of your support and make a huge difference to animals in need.

Double your impact

For one day only, your donation will be doubled! That means you can provide twice as much food, shelter, vet treatment, and TLC for the hundreds or animals in our shelter right now.

Together we can make sure every animal gets the love and care they need.

All donations over $2 are tax deductible.

If you would prefer to make a donation over the phone, please give our friendly team a call on 08  8348 1300.

Will you help Halo and other pets in need?

This Giving Day, you're raising money to support dogs like Halo - a sweet German Shepherd x Staffy who arrived at our shelter in desperate need of help.

Halo came to AWL desperate for food, comfort and affection. He had been roaming the streets looking for someone – anyone – to wrap him in love and tell him that everything was going to be okay. Thankfully, people just like you came together to save his life and give him the second chance he deserved.

Halo’s time on the streets had clearly been traumatising – he was far too skinny and needed urgent love and care to help him overcome his past. Thankfully, there are so many people just like you who refuse to stand by while an animal suffers. You joined forces to make sure Halo got exactly what he needed: three square meals a day and enough love and support to find a loving new family!

Halo is on the road to recovery and finally knows what it’s like to be loved, and it’s all thanks to the kindness of the South Australian community. We don’t want to imagine what his life would have looked like without your love and support but thanks to you and people like you, we know that his future is full of love.

But sadly, Halo's story is all too common... We have so many dogs and cats just like Halo. All they need is for someone to give them a second chance at love – a second chance they all deserve.

Caring for animals like Halo can be expensive, with the cost of food, shelter and vet bills often coming to thousands of dollars. Your generosity today will mean that every animal in our care can rest easy knowing you’ve got their back.

There are over 700 animals in care at Animal Welfare League right now. Today only, your compassion will mean TWICE as much love, TWICE as much support and TWICE as many second chances.  

This is exactly why Giving Day is so important - by donationg to AWL's Giving Day on March 21, you can double the impact of your support and make a HUGE difference to animals like Halo.

Thanks to our Matched Giving partners

Their kind support will help DOUBLE the impact of each donation made on AWL's Giving Day
