Your generous contribution goes directly to supporting our furry pals
Did you know on average it costs $65 a day to support one animal.
Services and essentials include yummy meals, veterinary care, a cosy bed, vaccinations, enrichment, respite in a foster home and anything else an animal may need during their stay.
On Christmas day, GAWS could have more than 300 animals in care.
That’s an average cost of more than $20,000... just for one day! GAWS relies heavily on the generous donations from the community, so every contribution this Christmas, no matter how big or small, makes a huge difference.
