Animal Welfare Society, Inc. (AWS)

*GIVE LOCAL TO SAVE LOCAL*

AWS has been serving the community for over 60 years! During this time, AWS has served thousands of families by helping over 12,000 pets receive the medical care they needed and placed them in these loving homes. Will you help us reach our goal of $50,000 so we can continue our mission to help more pets in our area?

AWS offers refuge to homeless dogs and cats and places them in loving, responsible homes. Each year we care for hundreds of cats and dogs from our local areas that enter our clean, bright, warm, and loving shelter. Some are surrendered to us because their owner passed away or their family is in crisis. Others are strays or have been abandoned. We work closely with local and state Animal Control Officers to assist with abuse and neglect cases, and partner with reputable shelters and rescues in Connecticut to navigate the severe animal welfare crisis in our state.

From the moment they enter our care, these dogs and cats are no longer unwanted. We provide excellent veterinary care, vaccinations, preventive worming, feline leukemia testing, and canine heartworm and tick-borne disease testing and treatment. We spay or neuter and microchip every pet prior to adoption. An emergency medical fund provides care for cats and dogs with serious medical conditions or injuries.

Won't you help give more pets in need a second chance at finding happiness, love, and a forever home by making a gift today?
