A Queensland charity built around companionship
Animal Welfare League Queensland began in 1959. Its rehoming network serves Brisbane, the Gold Coast and Ipswich, while its community work helps people whose circumstances threaten their ability to keep a companion animal. Finding a new home and supporting an existing one are both part of its work.
How community veterinary care is funded
The Community Vet Clinics offer essential treatment and low-cost desexing. Clients who can pay help subsidise care for people experiencing hardship; payment plans and hardship support can be discussed with the team. Clinic profits also help fund rehoming, education and foster care. Online bookings cover routine consultations and vaccinations; contact a clinic directly about surgery or an emergency appointment.
Pet care during an owner’s hospital stay
Emergency Boarding supports planned or unexpected hospitalisation when no other safe care option is available. Its catchment is Brisbane and the Gold Coast, from Redcliffe to Coolangatta. Hospital staff and community support workers can refer a person, and the team assesses suitability and available space before confirming a place.
What temporary boarding can provide
Accepted animals usually stay with volunteer foster carers for up to two weeks; an extension to a maximum of four weeks requires approval. Boarding includes food and a veterinary health check, but emergency treatment may be charged separately. This is not a 24-hour service, and the programme excludes housing crises, domestic violence, mental-health cases and alcohol or drug rehabilitation.
Food support and the right first contact
Pet Pantry supplies food to people in need, and outreach events may offer preventative treatments, bedding and advice depending on availability. Read the boarding criteria and support options or contact the community clinics for clinical care. AnimalProtech’s map helps locate the organisation; programme applications go to AWLQ directly.
