Who are we?
Founded in 1959, AWLQ has become a trusted leader in animal welfare. We provide a haven and a second chance for close to 10,000 stray and homeless animals every year. To each one of these animals we welcome through our doors, a promise is made – to never euthanise a healthy, sociable, or treatable animal in our care. We work tirelessly every day to maintain this promise.
In addition to our shelter work, we are committed to keeping pets and people together by providing lifesaving support and resources to people in need with companion animals. We are known for our grassroots and innovative community-based animal welfare work, including our community vet clinics, Getting to Zero, Golden Hearts Seniors’ Support Program, and the National Desexing Network.
Why should you join us?
At AWLQ, we offer competitive pay and benefits, including access to an independent Employee Assistance Program, retail discounts, and vet discounts. Most importantly, every day you’ll play an instrumental role in our lifesaving work.
Our mission is to unleash the potential in every team, and we know that teams perform best when they have passion. We are committed to building a culture where everyone has the opportunity to do meaningful work and is recognised for their efforts.
Equity
Diversity and inclusion are the principles guiding how we build our teams, cultivate our leaders and build a culture of belonging where differences are valued.
