Ita Buttrose
joins us as Patron

After supporting our Golden Hearts Program
as Ambassador since 2015, we are excited to
announce Ita Buttrose, AO OBE has come on
board as Patron of AWLQ. Ita joins Hon. Michael
Kirby AC CMG who has been Patron of AWLQ
since 2014.
Ita’s love of animals began early in a family
which embraced the concept of choosing to
adopt a shelter pet well before it became main
stream.
“Animals are just such wonderful companions,”
Ita said. “They don’t judge you. They never get
angry.”
We thank our Patrons for their generous
support.

Can you be

a foster carer?

Taking an animal into your home, caring for
them and watching them become healthy,
strong and happy is one of the best ways to
help animals in need.

Our foster program allows animals that need extra care,
the opportunity to temporarily spend time in a home
environment and be cared for as their own family would.
Once the foster animal is old enough to be adopted or has
recovered from illness or injury they are returned to the
Animal Welfare League Qld to join the rehoming program
and be adopted into a permanent home.
At any one time we can have over 600 animals in care.
Fostering is a great way to help both the AWLQ and
animals in need. Join our network of dedicated foster
carers by calling (07) 5509 9020 or visit awlqld.com.au/

Thank you for THANK YOU!

your support! Trudy was recently adopted and is living happily with
her new family and another little dog called Holly.
Thank you to everyone who
supported AWLQ’s 2017
Christmas Appeal.

Last Christmas, we shared the sad
story of little Trudy.
When beautiful Trudy came into our
care, our veterinary nurses were
shocked to find her urinary bladder
was filled with bladder stones. Trudy
endured urgent emergency surgery
to remove the stones to relieve her
from excruciating pain.
No animal should ever endure what
little Trudy suffered over 10 years
and we are honoured that you
agreed with us and chose to donate
so generously. Sadly, Trudy is one
of many thousands of animals who
through no fault of their own find
themselves abandoned, homeless
and requiring urgent treatment.
Together, you helped AWLQ raise
vital funds that enabled us to
continue providing care to animals
just like Trudy. No matter the cost,
we will always be there for them.
Thank you so much for believing
in our work and sharing our vision.
Together, we will keep achieving
positive outcomes for animals in our
care.

Trudy recovering after surgery.

with a large number of invasive stones.

Is to never euthanise a

We can’t keep this promise without your help.

Each year, AWLQ gives thousands of animals a second chance in a loving home. Some are pregnant, others have
broken bones, some are sick or are neglected- all are frightened. They just want to be in a safe and loving home.

If you believe that all abandoned animals deserve a loving home, do something special - become a regular
monthly giver today. Join us and help give animals a second chance.

Together, we will do whatever it takes to save lives. You can help save the life of a shelter animal by giving the
