Adopt and make a difference

Pets
Help Animal Welfare League Queensland (AWLQ) by adopting a pet or donating supplies.

Your donation will make a world of difference to the hundreds of cats, dogs, kittens and puppies that find a new start each month through the AWLQ’s four rehoming sites.

Better still, adopt a pet from the AWLQ’s Gold Coast, Beenleigh, South West Brisbane or Bracken Ridge shelters.

RACQ is working with AWLQ to support better outcomes for pets and their families by offering three months’ free pet insurance to eligible cats and dogs adopted through one of their rehoming sites or treated at one of the two community vet clinics.

Simply visit an AWLQ, then phone RACQ on 1800 177 907 to talk to an RACQ consultant who can help you to take out RACQ pet insurance.

AWLQ has been protecting and defending disadvantaged animals on the Gold Coast since 1959 and strives to give every animal in need a second chance.

It has a zero-euthanasia policy for healthy animals and supports animals in emergency situations, while also providing veterinary care through its on-site vets.
