Donate goods

We accept unwanted items in good condition for our animal shelter or GAWS Op Shop.


In kind donations

In kind donations are essential for the animals in our shelter. If you would like to donate, there is a drop off area at the front of reception at GAWS Moolap site. It costs GAWS thousands of dollars each year to dispose of items we are unable to utilise. Please keep this in mind when donating items.


Items we accept
  • New or in good condition towels and blankets
  • Enrichment items for the shelter animals – kongs, large tug toys, small scratching posts and treats eg: pigs ears, dental chews, schmackos etc.
  • Dog and cat food (wet & dry). Please consider brands that provide meat as its first ingredient, any low quality food may upset tummies.
  • Small cat beds & igloos


Items we CANNOT accept
  • Fitted bed sheets (with elastic) and pillowcases
  • Doonas, quilts and underlays
  • Pillows or cushions
  • Electrical items
