Ah ah ah ah, stayin’ alive, stayin’ alive 🎶

This Bee Gees classic isn’t just catchy, it’s also the perfect rhythm for CPR compressions.

Last week, our vet Dr Steph took some of our clinical team and volunteers through veterinary CPR training, helping refresh skills and make sure pets get the best possible chance in an emergency 🩺🐾

Last year we put the call out for socks to help keep the little toes of cats and dogs warm while they’re under general anaesthetic and wow, South Australians absolutely delivered! 🧦💙

Our vet team wanted to say a big thank you for all your care and generosity. We received so many donations that we’ve even started repurposing some into tiny little jumpers, like the one this sweet kitty is wearing 🥹

What might seem like a small act to you, has a lot of meaning for us! It helps us keep vulnerable animals warm, safe and comfortable when they need it most and it’s also a reminder of how amazing this community is and how grateful we are to have your support 🫶🏻

Our hearts are as warm as our feet! 🐾

Do you have a voice you automatically end up using when talking to pets?

I got distracted by this gorgeous big boy while trying to film a different video and went full baby voice mode without even realising! 😳

A little cringe watching the footage back but hard not to turn to mush when they are this cute 🥰

There’s nothing better than seeing a rescue animal safe, loved and finally home!

We've had some amazing adoption updates recently and they made us so happy that we couldn't wait to share them with you too.

Happy homes, happy hearts 🐾💚

Wimbledon is a sweet, playful 3 year old boy whose name was inspired by his love (and we mean looove) of tennis balls 🎾🐾

He's looking for the perfect home to continue his training, share adventures, play fetch and most importantly… snuggle!

Our supporter Mel recently took him on a Doggy Day Out adventure and shared with us how sweet he is:

“This gorgeous little man LOVES his tennis balls and knows how to snuggle up. With a little bit of time and effort, I think he would learn very quickly! I dare you not to fall in love with the complete package that is Wimbledon 🫶”

Because Wimbledon has a lot of playful energy and is still learning, he would be best suited to a home with teenage kids as the only dog, so he can soak up all the love, care and attention he deserves.

If you have an unlimited supply of tennis balls, that would be a plus 😛

This happy, special boy is ready for his next chapter! Could you help him find it?

Happy Volunteer Appreciation Week! 💙

We are unbelievably lucky to have almost 300 volunteers and foster carers supporting AWL in so many ways and we simply couldn’t do what we do without them!

Our CEO Jodi wanted to say a very special thank you to every single one of you on behalf of everyone here at AWL and of course, all of the animals you help us impact 🐾

You are amazing! 🥹

Weave a dog lead with volunteer Wendy!🐾

This Volunteer Appreciation Week, we’re celebrating all the different ways our incredible volunteers make a difference for the animals and people in our community.

For Wendy, that includes so many things from welcoming people to our Wingfield shelter with her signature smile and fun trousers to playing music and singing to our shy cats!

It also includes using her creativity and care to handmake dog leads.

Last year she kindly sat down and filmed the process so you can DIY your own.

Follow Wendy’s step-by-step guide and share your creations with us! awl.org.au/blog/diy-dog-leash

Thank you Wendy and thank you to all of our amazing volunteers, for your generous support of AWL 💙

Meet Connor 💙👋

Connor joined AWL as a volunteer in 2023 and has become a much-loved part of our Wingfield team.

Every week, Connor helps with laundry, supports our team and spends some quality time hanging out with our cats helping with their enrichment and socialisation - one of his favourite parts of the day.

Since joining AWL, Connor has grown in confidence, built new skills and become a valued part of our community.

This Volunteer Appreciation Week, we’re celebrating Connor, and the almost 300 volunteers and foster carers who help us make a difference for animals and people across SA every single day.

Thank you Connor! And thank you to every AWL volunteer and foster carer - your kindness, time and care doesn't go unnoticed.

We couldn't do this without you lending a helping paw 🐾

Our Doggy Day Out program gives our pups a much needed break from the shelter and a chance to explore new adventures!

It helps build confidence, supports socialisation and gives them a chance to soak up all the love (and hugs) they can get.

Here's some cutie snaps from recent participants 📸🐾

Thank you to our incredible community for taking the time out of your days to give shelter dogs an amazing day, it makes such a difference to their lives and we're so grateful for your support,

Doggy Day Out has been so popular that we're booked out for a couple of months but you can learn more and explore others ways to get involved at awl.org.au/doggydayout 💙
