Monthly donations

Sponsor a dog

Join a special group of dedicated dog lovers who are giving hope to lost and abandoned dogs.

Your compassionate monthly donation can give lost and abandoned dogs a happy future, free from pain and sadness.

We’ll send you regular updates so you can see how your support is changing the lives of the dogs you sponsor, just like Rocky...

Meet Rocky

Rocky was just six weeks old when he arrived at AWL – this tiny pup needed multiple surgeries to fix a birth defect before he was was able to find his loving new home. By becoming a dog sponsor, you can help more dogs just like Rocky!

Animal Sponsorship FAQ's

Will my donations be monthly?

Yes, all animal sponsorship donations set up on our website will be monthly. If you would like to set up regular donations with a different frequency (e.g. fortnightly, etc) please contact our friendly team on 08 8348 1300

Do I sponsor just one animal?

No, your sponsorship will actually be helping lots of lost or abandoned animals that come into our shelter. As soon as we find one animal a loving new home, another will arrive at AWL and your kind support will help provide them with the loving care they need.

Does AWL receive any government funding to care for these animals

No. AWL receives NO government funding, so we rely on donations and sponsorship from compassionate people like you to help care for these

Where does my sponsorship money go?

Your kind sponsorship helps support every sad, lonely and desperate animal who arrives at AWL. Your support helps provide the following:

  • Shelter and a warm bed
  • Nutritious food
  • Toys and enrichment
  • Vital vet care (including vaccinations, medication, and any surgery needed)
  • Love and cuddles until they can find their new home
Will I be the only sponsor of an animal?

No, each animal is supported by several kind sponsors. This is because we have more than 100 animals come into our care each week, so we simply couldn’t provide all the food, treatment, and care that each animal needs without the help of a number of generous supporters.

Can I sponsor both cats and dogs?

Yes! If you don’t have a preference and want to share the love between cats and dogs in need, you can sponsor both! Simply email our friendly team at SupporterCare@awl.org.au.

Can I visit my sponsored animal?

Unfortunately not. The animals in our care may be vulnerable or nervous, so to reduce their stress we only allow our trained animal attendants and expert vet team to interact with them. However, we will send you regular updates on the animals you’re sponsoring so you can see firsthand the difference you’re making!

Can I adopt an animal I sponsor?

All animals who are ready to find their forever home will be listed on the website, so if you are looking for a furry new companion you can check out the adoption page.

Will you tell me when an animal I'm sponsoring is rehomed?

Absolutely, we’ll share this in the regular updates you receive. The best part of being a sponsor is knowing your caring support has given a lonely cat or dog the second chance they deserve, and they’ve found a loving new home.

I still have some questions

If you’d like to sponsor a cat or dog but still have questions, please feel free to contact our friendly team on 8348 1300 or email supportercare@awl.org.au
