It’s been a long time in the making, but the Animal Welfare League of Queensland is excited to announce the opening of its Ipswich Rehoming Centre on Saturday November 19 and they want you there.

To celebrate the opening of the centre and newfound hope for homeless animals, the Animal Welfare League of Queensland will be hosting an open day full of fun with jumping castles, raffles, face painting for the kids and gift packs for members of the public who adopt a pet on that day.

The opening of the Ipswich centre is welcoming news for cats and dogs of Ipswich and its surrounding areas, with surrendered and stray pets no longer needing to make the hour long journey to the Coombabah Shelter to begin a new life.

CEO of the AWLQ Denise Bradley says the team have been working with Ipswich council for almost ten years rehoming their pound animals at the Coombabah and Stapylton Shelters.

“The new shelter will run in conjunction with the AWLQ Ipswich community vet clinic which has been in the area since 2006,” Ms Bradley says.

“There is also an op shop in the area, raising the much needed funds to provide shelter, medical care and food to the animals.”

The opening of the shelter to the public will be a great chance for the community to see the new facility and what is being done to ensure the futures of the animals in the AWLQ’s care as well as animals looking for their new home.

The open day starts at 10am on Saturday November 19 and will run until 2pm at 6 Hooper Street West Ipswich.
