The Animal Welfare League of South Australia (AWL) operates a pet and animal shelter for lost and abandoned animals, located at Wingfield. We provide care to the many lonely and unloved companion animals in South Australia.
Opened in 1976 by former Premier of South Australia, Don Dunstan, our Wingfield animal shelter comprises 19 rows of kennels which can accommodate more than 300 animals at any time, making it the largest animal shelter in South Australia.
The Wingfield complex was designed to provide the best of support to the many needy animals in South Australia and to help the community to understand its obligations in relation to responsible pet ownership.
