Shelter
A dedicated shelter in Western Sydney, New South Wales with a team of highly trained professionals providing care to animals, including but not limited to:
- Rehabilitating animals who have not had the best start to life ensuring they are ready for their chance at a better life
- Adopting animals out to their forever homes
- Accepting surrenders into our care
- Reducing the euthanasia rates of healthy and treatable animals
Foster Care
A foster care network that provides care to animals in need.
- Understanding that not all animals are able to thrive in the shelter, the foster care network is able to place vulnerable animals into temporary homes to help them reach their full potential until they can find a forever home.
Community Branches
Animal Welfare League NSW has over 20 branches across New South Wales run by hardworking and dedicated volunteers. These branches assist with:
- Rehoming animals
- Subsidised desexing vouchers
