Dozer and Ellie – The Facebook Phenomenom
The AWLQ’s Facebook page almost went into meltdown on Wednesday 19 October with an overwhelming response from the public to Dogue De Bordeaux (French Mastiff) Dozer and his ‘come adopt me please’ photo. Dozer and his English Bull Mastiff girlfriend...
Peppa the Singing Puppy
I fostered Peppa in February. I just wanted to help with all the flood animals they had and when I got there Miss Princess Peppa trotted in and I thought "oh no" I am going to have to adopt her. She had kennel cough and a very bad ear infection. She took a while to...
Mili-Moli ” My Story”
I fostered Mili-Moli from AWL she was about 2 weeks old with her brother and sister. When they were ready to be sold Mili was a little on the skinny side so I bought her. She had the most adorable nature, planked consistently and I could even bath her. At 2 Mili got...
Benny
We met Benny on Easter weekend of 2010. The moment he nuzzled our fingers through his carrier door we knew he was coming home with us. Within hours of getting home he was settled in, already found his litter tray and slept on the bed with us (he hasn't missed a single...

Fisher
Fisher has now been in our home for 7 weeks, and already we cannot imagine our lives without him. He loves nothing more than lounging around on the couch all day having his belly rubbed, and at night he takes turns on which kids bed to sleep on. We all just adore him....

It was long distance love at first sight for West Australian resident Louise Sass who flew from her remote home town to Darwin and then to the Gold Coast to meet and adopt the Animal Welfare League of Queensland’s resident Anastasia; a three month old Doberman...
My Giant
We adopted little Mosimo from a set up you had at a shopping centre. He was the tiny ginger baby who was the cutest thing I'd ever seen! Mosi has grown to 8.4kg and is an absolute giant! He's very very cheeky, but very affectionate and we all love him very much...even...
Candy & CoCo
In May this year we adopted little Candy & CoCo from AWL Coombabah Shelter. They do everything together like sisters do and love playing in their cat tunnel and chasing balls. They have brought us so much joy and they really are two peas in a pod! Thank you AWL!...
