Australian Pet Welfare Foundation
Every tail deserves a happy ending
Building a better world for pets & the people who love them
Our Goals
An end to unnecessary killing
Better solutions that keep animals out of shelters and pounds, and give them the best chance of finding a new home
Pets and people together
Policies, legislation and processes that keep pets healthy and with the people who love them (even in times of crisis)
Healthy, happy pets
Easy (and affordable) access to care and information that enhances pet health and wellbeing
One Welfare - the key to our shared future
There's a deep connection between the welfare of our animals, humans and the environment. At APWF, we focus on evidence-based approaches that protect the wellbeing of all three and enable us all to thrive.
We're animal advocates
We’re championing pet ownership and promoting best practice for shelters, pounds and rescues so that 70,000 healthy, treatable dogs and cats can be saved each year.
Better solutions for strays
