By Your Side

The Animal Welfare League of South Australia operates pet and animal shelters for lost and surrendered animals, located at Wingfield.

We exist to provide care to the many lost and surrendered companion animals in South Australia.

Opened in 1976 by former Premier of South Australia, Don Dunstan, our Wingfield animal shelters comprise of 17 rows of kennels which can accomodate for up to 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.
