Our organisation is the leader in the zero euthanasia movement nationally and is considered a national leader in animal welfare. AWLQ locally provides a safe haven for close to 10,000 stray and homeless animals each year, while also assisting other communities in saving homeless animals. In addition to our shelter

work, we are committed to keeping pets and people together by providing lifesaving support and resources to people in need with companion animals. We are known for our grassroots and innovative community-based animal welfare work including our community vet clinics, Getting to Zero, Golden Hearts Seniors’ Support Program and the National Desexing Network.

Ever dreamed of a roommate who doesn’t hog the remote, steal your snacks or leave laundry everywhere? Well, that’s me, Sammy! 🐾✨

I’m 1-year-old, rocking the softest fur and I’ve mastered the art of being your personal shadow. My ideal day? A cosy nap spot, some tasty treats and the honour of keeping you company while you do human things.

I’d love a home where I can be your one-and-only, queen of the castle 👑 (no furry siblings, thanks—I prefer all the attention for myself!). In return, you’ll get loyalty, quiet companionship and a daily dose of whiskered charm.

So… ready for a housemate who pays rent in purrs? 🐱💕

Retirement plans? I’ve got them sorted. Step 1: Lots of naps. Step 2: Maximum cuddles. Step 3: Occasional leisurely strolls. 🐾

I’m Duke, an 8-year-old Maltese/Shih Tzu with a heart as soft as my fur. I’m looking for a calm, loving home where I can spend my days snoozing in sunny spots, curling up on your lap and giving unconditional love in return. 🏡

Got a quiet couch and a warm lap with your name on it? Let’s make it official. 💛

Fetch enthusiast, trick-master, cuddle champion—yep, that’s me, Rocky! 🐾 I'm three-years-young and full of energy so, I’m looking for a family who loves adventure as much as I do.

Ready to have your days filled with laughter, love and a little Border Collie chaos? I’m waiting for you! 🐶

Life’s too short for ordinary—so here I am, Chardy, a 9-year-old Devon Rex with personality, charm and a love for the finer things: warm laps, cosy blankets and quiet companionship. 😻

I’m looking for a calm, understanding human who knows (or is ready to learn) the special care Devon Rexes need—keeping me warm, looking after my delicate coat and giving me a peaceful, stress-free home. 🏡 In return, I’ll shower you with snuggles, gentle purrs and a lifetime of affection.

I’ve outgrown the chaos of kittenhood, but my heart is full and ready to love the right human. Could that be you? 💜

Don’t let the tough-guy face fool you—I’m all about chill vibes, slow pets and cheek scratches that go on forever. 💖 I’m Fairy Floss, a 5-year-old gentle giant with a soft spot for quiet company and sunny napping spots.

I’m not a fan of being picked up 🙅‍♂️, but scratch behind my ears or along my cheeks and I’ll happily lean in for more. 😽 I like my space, but I also like knowing someone cares.

I’m FIV-positive, so I’ll need to be an indoor-only cat, ideally as your one and only, or with another FIV-positive friend.

If you’ve got a calm, cosy home and a soft spot for a loyal, low-maintenance pal, I might just be your purrfect match. 🏡

Hey there, future best friend! 👋 I’m Arlo, a 2-year-old Australian Terrier mix with a heart full of love and a soft spot for cuddles.

I might be a little shy at first, but once I know you’re my person, I’m all yours—loyal, gentle, and ready to be your sidekick on walks, adventures, or even just Netflix marathons. 🐶✨ I’d love a home with a secure yard where I can explore safely and maybe a calm dog buddy. With lots of love and patience, I promise to bloom into the most devoted, sweet little companion you’ve ever met. 💕

Could you be the lucky one to give me my forever home? 🏡

Penny's Agenda 🐾:

☑️ Zoom around the yard with toys like I’m chasing Olympic gold.
☑️ Practice my fancy moves: sit, down, shake.
☑️ Take a nap in my crate.
☑️ Climb into your lap and pretend I’m a chihuahua.
☑️ Dream about meeting my forever family. 💜

I’m 1 year old, full of wiggles, smarts and snuggles. Sometimes I get a little shy around new people and dogs, but with a confident doggy buddy and humans who love routine, I blossom quickly. I love active days that end with couch cuddles, and I can’t wait to find a home where I can be your playful companion and loyal snuggle buddy.

If you have room in your life (and lap!), I’d love to meet you! 🐶✨
