Back to Charities We Support

The Animal Welfare Association (AWA) has been committed to the prevention and eradication of animal suffering for more than fifty years. AWA's current projects include: an animal shelter and adoption program, a low-cost spay/neuter clinic, humane education programs for children, and a pet therapy program for nursing home residents. The AWA shelter is open seven days a week. Many of the dogs, cats and rabbits entering the AWA shelter receive extensive veterinary care. On an annual basis, more than 2,500 orphaned animals are provided with temporary housing and care prior to placement in loving homes. Our veterinary staff performs more than 7500 spay/neuter surgeries each year in our low cost surgical clinic preventing the birth of untold numbers of unwanted animals.
