Help us help pets!

Join together with other animal-lovers and generously volunteer your time to save the lives of animals in need 💙

Without the help of our invaluable volunteers, Animal Welfare League wouldn't be able to open its doors to the vulnerable cats, dogs and rabbits of South Australia. By donating your time to these animals, you are directly saving the lives of forgotten and abandoned pets that rely on the kindness of people just like you.

If you're thinking about donating your time and knowledge to save the lives of animals in need, thank you from the bottom of our heart.
