AWL works for all animals but its primary activities are rescuing domestic pets and rehoming them. Locally we work only with volunteers and volunteer foster carers. A large part of our work includes educating the public on responsible pet ownership. All dogs are heartworm tested and treated.

All pets must be viewed at carers premises which are on the Far South Coast of NSW (about 5 hours south of Sydney). Pets must be collected from carers premises and if necessary, returned there as well.
