Assisting the vulnerable through our Emergency Boarding Program

For some people, who sadly have no family or friends in their life – often their animals are their sole reason for being, they are their saviour and critical to their well-being.

As much as these vulnerable people rely on their pets, their beloved pets also rely on their human owners for care and companionship.

Animal Welfare League Queensland’s 2019 Christmas Appeal was launched to amplify the messaging and drive donations for our Emergency Boarding Program for pets in need. Animal Welfare League Queensland is committed to being there for these animals when their owner is rushed to hospital or can no longer be there for them, and they have nowhere to go. The kindness of our loyal supporters never ceases to amaze us - thanks to your generous support of our Christmas Appeal we raised $54,000.00. This means we can continue and expand our Emergency Boarding Program. Pets will be lovingly cared for by Animal Welfare League Queensland through this program. This will provide vulnerable pets with somewhere safe and warm to stay until they can be reunited with their soul mate.

We feel very fortunate to have such generous supporters – their kindness will change lives. We are developing accommodation and resource solutions over the coming months and hope to be able to officially launch the program within the second half of 2020 – we will keep you updated on the progress.
