The purpose of our branches is to better position our organisation to assist companion animals in localised areas. Animal Welfare League NSW - Western Suburbs is a branch of Animal Welfare League NSW. We are a small group of volunteers dedicated to helping those in the community that require a hand from time to time with their pets, primarily assisting pensioners and low income earners to desex th
eir cats and dogs. We also endeavour to help find new homes for abandoned animals in order to give them a second chance. Our branch does not have a shelter or an office. Our cats and dogs for adoption are in homes with foster carers. AWL NSW volunteer branches offer the following services:
- Caring for surrendered animals
- Adopting dogs, cats, puppies and kittens
- Subsidised Desexing Programs for financially disadvantaged people to have their animals desexed
- Fundraising and events
- Building relationships with local Council and community groups to assist with animal welfare issues in the region
As AWL NSW branches are run by volunteers and are always in need of new faces to join their dedicated teams. There are many opportunities available to help animals at your local branch, some of which include:
Donations: Our branch needs pet food donations in order to survive and continue our work with local animals. Contact us to make a donation, or participate in one of our fundraising events. Email [email protected]
Events: Our Branch regularly participate in events to help raise money for animals in our care. This may be anything from a BBQ at Bunnings to a stall at a local fair. Events are a great way to be involved with our branch. Fundraising: You can raise money for your local branch by initiating your own fundraising activities. Coin drives at your school and placing donation tins at your place of work are great ways you can raise money to help animals. Foster care: If you have space at your place for an animal awaiting a home you may be able to foster through our branch. Fostering is a great hands-on experience which gives you the opportunity to see first-hand the difference you’re making. Please email [email protected] for an application. Animal transportation: Sometimes animals in branch care need to travel for appointments and their foster parents or other branch members may not be available to do it. If you have reliable transportation and would like to “help when you can” you can offer your animal transportation services. Photography: Our branch is involved in rehoming animals and always need good photography to showcase our animals in the best light. If you have a knack for photography and a love of animals please email [email protected] if you can help out.
