What would you do if you found Hattie raising her puppies on the street? Would you do everything in your power to give them a safe place to go?
You’d show her kindness and love. You’d extend a loving hand to give them a chance at happiness.
Thankfully, Hattie and her puppies had a guardian angel. Kind people like you found them in their time of need and wrapped them up with love, instantly giving them hope for a better tomorrow.
It was clear that Hattie had been looking for help for some time. Caring selflessly for her puppies had caused her mammary glands to become inflamed and swollen. She was suffering from an itchy skin condition and her left eye was inflamed. Even though Hattie had her own health problems, her puppies were happy and healthy. Despite her difficult circumstances, this brave mum had done everything she could to give them the best possible start in life.
When Hattie and her puppies arrived at Animal Welfare League, she must have known her luck had turned. She trusted our vet team with her puppies, happily enjoyed treats and demanded attention from anyone who would give it. AWL vet, Dr Michelle said, “She had such a sweet temperament from the moment we met her. She was such a good girl and so brave – I’m so glad she’s safe now because she’s a very special dog who deserves the world.”

If you’re able, please consider making a kind gift today to provide love and care for animals like Hattie and her puppies.
It was the kindness and compassion of people like you that reassured Hattie and her puppies that they’d never be left behind again. Thanks to you they will always be loved, they will always be protected and most importantly they will always have a home, a family and a place where they belong.
As Hattie and her puppies turn the page on their past and embark on the next chapter of their journey, there are still countless animals at AWL waiting patiently for their happy ever after.
Some are sitting in their pen, hoping a family will notice them. Some are curled up in their bed, dreaming of a home they’ve never known. Some are mothers, just like Hattie, doing everything they can to keep their babies alive.
They’re out there – still fighting, still hoping and still waiting for someone like you to find them and give them the greatest gift of all: the strength to carry on.
Every donation, every act of kindness and every moment of compassion brings them one step closer to a home to call their own.
For Hattie, for her puppies and for the ones still waiting – will you be their miracle today?
There are hundreds of animals in our shelter at the moment. Each one relies on your love and support to bring them closer to happiness. Your special gift will show them that they deserve better. Together, we have the strength to change everything and make a difference in the lives of animals who have all but given up hope.
