Giving animals a second chance at a loving home

With up to 300 animals in our care at any given time, we rely on the support of compassionate individuals like you to ensure that every animal receives the love, care, and attention they deserve.

Your donation to the Geelong Animal Welfare Society helps us provide essential care for animals in our shelter. This includes veterinary care, food, water and shelter.

As a not-for-profit animal welfare organisation, GAWS relies solely on the generosity of our community to fund our vital work. 

We receive no government funding and depend on donations from individuals like you to continue providing best practice care, community education, and re-homing programs.

Did you know we also accept donations of new and used items? You can donate goods such as towels, blankets, scratching posts, treats and pet food. You may also donate unwanted clothing and homewares to be sold in the GAWS Op Shop & Recycled Fashion & Homewares store.
