📣 FREE ENGRAVED DOG TAGS FOR NSW RESIDENTS 📣

We want to help more lost dogs return home WITHOUT coming to council shelters.

So, we are giving away 1000 FREE engraved dog tags to dog owners who live in NSW. All you need is a microchipped dog with up-to-date microchip details. Limit of 3 tags per household.

🔹 Not sure if your dog is microchipped? Bring your dog to your local council animal shelter, and the staff can scan the dog for a microchip and check if the details are up-to-date. If not, the staff can assist you in updating it, at no cost. If the dog isn't microchipped, some councils offer free or discounted microchipping, but if not, it can be done at vet clinics for a fee.

🔹 Do you have the microchip number already and want to verify if it's up-to-date? Contact your council with the microchip number, your full name, address, and phone number, and they can check for you.

If you are a NSW resident and have already confirmed that the microchip is up-to-date (including your name, phone number, and current address), get your free engraved pet tag here 👉 https://bit.ly/free-engraved-dog-tags

This is a www.findmyowner.com.au initiative, proudly supported by the NSW Government.

❗️SNAKE SEASON HAS ARRIVED...

You can make your yard less attractive to snakes by keeping your grass short as possible and removing any rubbish that would provide a good hiding place.

Know the Signs of a Bite:

It’s important to be aware of what signs your pet may exhibit - so you can react quickly and save their life.

Sudden weakness and collapse (this may be followed by your pet getting up again and seeming normal)
Trembling, shaking or twitching
Unsteadiness, or weakness in the hind legs
Diarrhoea
Vomiting
Excessive salivation, drooling or frothing at the mouth
Difficulty breathing
Blood in their urine
Dilated pupils
Paralysis

If you suspect your pet has been bitten, do not wait for symptoms to appear - head straight to your vet. If possible call ahead to let them know you are coming.

Keep your pet as still as possible. Wrap in a blanket and carry to car (do not allow to walk themselves). Venom is carried in the bloodstream and extra movement will speed up the process.

Do not waste time searching for a bite as these are usually small and difficult to detect.

AWL NSW Hawkesbury Valley Branch

Animal Welfare League NSW (AWL NSW) is a registered charity that has been caring for surrendered, neglected and abandoned animals for over 60 years. AWL has a team of Inspectors who respond to reports of cruelty or neglect to animals across NSW. Hawkesbury Valley is one of the AWL NSW volunteer branches, managed and operated by local community volunteers. We do not have an animal shelter and operate largely using foster carers.

If you wish to contact us, please ring our branch phone 0400 293 116 and leave a detailed message or alternatively message our page. Please be aware that we are all volunteers and as such have other commitments on our time. We will get back to you as soon as we can. Note: As volunteers we cannot perform investigations. Suspected cases of cruelty or neglect can be reported to the Inspectors by emailing [email protected] or phoning 02 8899 3333. All reports are confidential. If you would care to make a donation to our branch, please find the details below:Account Hawkesbury Valley- Animal Welfare League BSB 633-000 Account No. 154028351 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 may include:

Donations: Every branch needs donations in order to survive and continue their work with local animals. Contact your local branch to make a donation, or participate in one of their fundraising events.

Events: Branches regularly participate in events to help raise money for their cause. 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 your local branch if you can’t commit to set days every week.

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 your local branch. Fostering is a great hands-on experience which gives you the opportunity to see first-hand the difference you’re making.

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 to your local branch.

Admin: Like all organisations, AWL NSW Branches must complete paperwork and hold regular meetings which require minute taking. If you have admin experience you may be able to lend your skill set to your local branch.

Photography: Branches that are involved in rehoming animals always need good photography to showcase their animals in the best light. If you have a knack for photography and a love of animals your local branch may be able to utilise your skills.
