Save a Life with Animal Welfare League

Animal Welfare League NSW sets out to rehome at least 200 dogs and cats in the month of September as part of their "Save a Life in September" campaign, supported by Purina.

The month culminates with a fundraising event in Martin Place, Sydney on September 25th from 7.30 am - 2.30 pm, where members of the public can get up close and personal with some of the dogs in care, chat with staff and seek advice from their animal experts. You can also Save a Life this September by donating directly to helping the animals that are in the care of AWL.

Members of the public are being asked to consider adopting a shelter pet rather than getting animals from other sources and to either donate or raise funds for Animal Welfare League NSW during September.

During “Save a Life in September” they want to let the community know that shelter pets are happy, healthy and ready to be given a second chance at a forever home. They have gorgeous dogs, cats, puppies and kittens all waiting to meet their new family.

It’s also good to know that you can adopt with peace of mind, as all cats and dogs from Animal Welfare League come health checked, behaviour assessed and desexed. Their expert team is also on hand to help guide you through the process of adoption and find the dog or cat who’s the perfect match for your lifestyle.

When: September 25 from 7:30am-2:30pm

Where: Martin Place, Sydney

Dog Eye Injuries can be a Vet Emergency

Eye injuries in dogs and cats are common and are usually caused by trauma (such as a fight with another animal), a foreign body in the eye, infection, an inability to form lubricating tears, or an abnormality in the eye. WHAT ARE THE SIGNS OF AN EYE INJURY? Presentations for these include squinting, pawing the eye or face, watery eyes, a discharge from the eye, the eyes can look red or inflammed, the pupil size may be abnormal, or the pet simply appears uncomfortable or in pain. But when is this an emergency and when should pet owners seek veterinary help? Most injuries that appear superficial occur to the cornea. This is the outer layer of your pet’s eye. There are many very thin layers to the cornea and the seriousness of the injury depends on how many of the layers have been damaged. Injuries to the outermost layer can heal quickly with medication in little time. However, the deeper the injury, the greater the chance of scarring or blindness which often requires surgery to prev...

AWLQ’s Stray Animals’ Day – a chance to make a $124,000 difference Ambassador NRL Titan Chris McQueen has launched AWLQ’s inaugural Stray Animals’ Day April 4 challenge with a target of $124,000, to cover the cost of running its vital foster house program. “An incredible 6,200 animals, or more than 71% of all animals in AWLQ’s care, spend time in foster care each year,” Chris McQueen said. Oliver, the Staffy cross - what a difference a month makes! Animals, just like Oliver. The Staffy cross had a severe skin condition and has so far spent a month with foster carer Amelia and was at the challenge launch. “It’s amazing to see the difference in Oliver’s condition in that time,” Chris said. “This is clearly a happy dog that is enjoying a home environment while he recuperates. “In the off-season Nicole and I would be looking to foster for AWLQ – as it’s so rewarding and makes such a difference.” Animal Welfare League Queensland continues to be a leader in animal rehoming....
