Hunter is a lovely dog, friendly loyal and adores his humans and other Huskies in his foster house. He loves to be around his humans, and children. He has good manners around the house, but is still mastering toilet training, and just needs a gentle reminder to go outside regularly. He is polite, doesn’t bite, and is extremely affectionate. A very happy and content dog that is very easy to live with.
An hour's walk a day is enough for him to stretch his legs and enjoy all the sights and smells. He's so very excited to be outside in nature but also loves to be indoors with his family. If the door is open he will sometimes go outside and soak up nature so we are seeking a house with a backyard because he likes the best of both worlds 🍃
Hunter is a very sweet dog and he loves cuddles, affection and lots of love, and play.

**Dig proof, six foot high fences recommend as Huskies are notorious for escaping.

Adoption Fee $550
All AWL NSW Shoalhaven animals are Desexed, vaccinated, microchipped and lifetime registered prior to adoption.

The “Unpopular” Ones 🖤

Did you know that black & white cats are typically the ones who stay the longest in shelters? They are the most over-looked, even compared to pure black cats. We don’t know why that is the case, but we do know these beautiful cats have been waiting for homes for a long time and they are not boring, or common but completely and utterly unique.

These gorgeous cats have all been in Animal Welfare League NSW Shoalhaven’s care for over a year now.

These cats are looking for the true cat lovers. Those willing to give a shy or nervous cat a chance. All get on well in their foster homes but can be nervous around strangers so tend to be overlooked time and again.

Bluey Boy is one of the most affectionate and adorable cats that we have ever had in care. He is just a really chill cat who seems to get on with everything and everyone.

He has a little bit of an allergy to some foods (we suspect chicken) but is currently doing really well on the food he is on and is now ready to find a new loving home.

While he is not a real russian blue you could be forgiven for thinking he was, as he is a beautiful blue boy.

Adoption Fee $200
Bluey boy has been desexed, vaccinated, microchipped and lifetime registered.

Meet Ernie, he is a sweet, almost one year old, smooth Fox Terrier. Ernie is a very active fellow like most puppies his age. He loves other dogs and plays well with them. He can get a little bored when left by himself so a friend with a similar energy level would be a great fit.

Ernie would love an active family with time to spend with him. He loves walks and is good on a lead.

Adoption Fee $500
Ernie has been desexed, vaccianted, microchipped and lifetime registered.

Will you join us in celebrating our incredible volunteers? Volunteers are the backbone of any organisation, and it’s no different for us at the Animal Welfare League Shoalhaven.

Our wonderful volunteers work in every level of our local branch, from our executive and general members, Op Shop volunteers, foster carers, and the many roles and responsibilities in between.

Each and every volunteer member, is passionate about animal welfare and doing what they can to help animals in need. They take the animals to and from vet appointments, care for animals in their own homes, organise, manage, pick up, drop off, engage with the community, raise much needed funds, work in our retail shop and so much more.

We are so grateful for every individual volunteer. You are irreplaceable and we are thankful you for your time, skills and energy that makes this work possible.

‼️𝗣𝗮𝗻𝗹𝗲𝘂𝗸𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗮 ‼️ has been found in the Shoalhaven. This cat disease which is very similar to Parvo in dogs and just as contagious and deadly was almost wiped out in Australia through vaccination. Sadly it has now begun to spread again over the last 10-15 years and has made its way to Sydney and has now been found in Nowra, Bomaderry and Tomerong. We would assume it is in other suburbs but just not detected yet.

The best protection against this disease is vaccination. Unfortunately due to an ongoing shortage of F3 vaccinations in Australia our local vets currently have limited supplies.

If your cat has not been vaccinated in the last 12 months the safest place for them is indoors until vaccines are available and you can get their vaccinations up to date. Kittens require at least two vaccinations.

If you think your cat or kitten is showing signs of panleukopenia please contact your vet urgently.

Diarrhea.
Vomiting.
Fever.
Depression/lethargy.
Loss of appetite.
Dehydration (may appear as sunken eyes or dry gums)

On arrival let the staff know you have a suspected case prior to bringing the cat or kittens into the vet clinic.

Would you believe that when this gorgeous boy first came into care he was a bit nervous? Hard to believe looking at him now 💕

Sweet Squirtle would love to find a forever home with a lap to cuddle up in. He can be shy at first so a quiet home without young children would be his preferred new home so settling in is easier for him.

❤️ All the kittens have now found loving homes ❤️

There are times when you just wonder how anyone can be so incredibly cruel. How can anyone throw four scared kittens in an industrial bin to die a horrible death.

These poor babies were incredibly lucky today that the staff at the Bomaderry IGA spotted one when throwing out rubbish and launched a rescue mission to save them. 💕

They were wet and very scared but they are now safe and dry with a foster carer. A big thank you to the amazing staff who saved their lives today. CCTV footage will be checked so hopefully the person responsible is found.

𝙁𝙤𝙨𝙩𝙚𝙧 𝙝𝙤𝙢𝙚 𝙣𝙚𝙚𝙙𝙚𝙙!! Did you know, AWL NSW Shoalhaven’s rescue and rehoming program is run entirely through a foster home system. We have no kennels or shelter that we can put animals into to hold them while looking for their new homes.

Foster is a great system for the animals as it’s far less stressful than a shelter environment but unfortunately it also means if we don’t have a spare foster home we simply can’t take in an animal in need.

At the moment we have a waiting list for small breed dogs and adult cats waiting to come into care. If this sounds like something you may be able to assist with please let us know by completing the form below.

AWL NSW covers all medical costs and provides the food and other essentials. All you need to supply is a home and love.

Meet our very own adorable Heeler Family. Our girls Bluey and Chilli and our boys Stripe, Rusty and Bandit.

At 12 weeks old the pups are looking for new homes. We hope to desex in about a months time so they are looking for foster to adopt homes with the ownership transferring to the new family once desexed.

Being a mix of two active breeds, Blue Heeler and Border Collie, they are looking for homes with large back yards and active families willing to keep up with training and regular exercise.

Adoption Fee $500
Adoption fee includes Desexing, first two vaccinations, microchipping and lifetime registration.

11/04/2024

We have a gorgeous and very big girl available for adoption. At a healthy weight of 7kg Betty is easily the largest cat we have had in foster. She’s currently growing back a shaved coat but is going to be absolutely beautiful once it’s grown back in.

To top it off Betty also has heterochromia meaning one of her eyes is a very pretty blue and the other a stunning green.

Like a lot of fully white cats Betty is also deaf but it doesn’t seem to affect her at all.

We are looking for a home with no very young children or other cats. She seems to find both a bit stressful. She doesn’t seem particularly bothered by cat friendly dogs.

Being a fully white cat Betty is at very high risk for skin cancers on her ears and nose from sun exposure so we are looking for an indoor home only for her.

In a quiet home she has just blossomed and is a super sweet and affectionate girl.

Adoption Fee $175
All AWL NSW Shoalhaven animals are Desexed, vaccinated, microchipped and lifetime registered prior to adoption.

At just 4 months old our sweet boy Percy is recovering from the first of the surgery’s needed to help him lead a long and happy life.

Unfortunately Percy faces a couple of major challenges as he grows. The first is his hip joints as he is already showing signs of hip dysplasia. His right hip in particular is very loose in its socket.

Juvenile P***c Symphsyiodesis surgery was performed on Thursday to help reduce pain and the chances of osteoarthritis and the need for a hip replacement down the track.

His second major health issue is his airways. Unfortunately this is extremely common in Brachycephalic breeds like pugs. Due to the flattened face their airways don’t have the room to develop properly and they often require surgery just to be able to breathe clearly.

Ideally this second surgery would be performed around 12 months of age when he had finished growing but unfortunately due to the severity of Percy’s airway obstruction our vets are expecting his airways to continue to narrow so badly as he grows we will need to have this surgery performed as early as 6 months of age.

Despite all this Percy is an adorable cuddle bug who is just taking it all in his stride. At the moment his biggest worry is finding a knee to cuddle up on.

If you would like to help Percy, please consider making a donation on the link below. We are trying to raise $3,000 to cover his surgery costs and give him his best chance at a happy healthy life💕

26/03/2024

If you are giving away or selling an animal did you know it is YOUR responsibility to change the animals microchip to its new owner? When we scan lost dogs and cats too many times they are still chipped to the original breeder making it extremely difficult to reunite them with their correct owner.

If you buy or are given a cat/kitten or dog/puppy the previous owner by law should have microchipped them and given you a signed copy of the form below. (Link at end)

If, as the new owner, you do not receive a certificate of identification (or registration if already registered) within a couple of weeks of taking ownership please follow up to make sure the form has been submitted to council.

And remember. Microchipping is only step 1. The animal will also need to be registered with council.

Download and print the following form to change ownership or to update your contact details if you move/get a new phone number. The completed form can be dropped to council or the councils shelter at South Nowra or emailed to [email protected]. Up to date details helps vets and council contact you to get a lost pet home quickly.

📌 Applications closed.

We have two super sweet boys called Mikey (black and white) and Panda Bear who are looking for their new home(s). They are just like a pair of cuddly panda bears too, they love to sit on your lap with their heads on your shoulder just having cuddles.

Both Mikey and Panda are a little shy when they first meet new dogs but soon come out of their shells and start to play. The same with people, shy at first but in no time they are looking at you hopeful there is a knee to cuddle up on.

Both will require regular trips to the groomer.

While we would love to see the brothers rehomed together we are also taking individual applications.

Adoption fee $650. They have been desexed, vaccinated, microchipped and lifetime registered, and tick protected prior to adoption. They have also just received a heartworm vaccination.
