November 29, 2022
Created in 2012, it’s the Tuesday after Thanksgiving – after the shopping days of Black Friday and Cyber Monday. It has evolved into a movement that encourages and inspires hundreds of millions of people to give, work together, and celebrate generosity.
Whether it’s a donation, some of your time, the power of your voice in your local community, helping a neighbor or stranger, showing up for an issue you care about, or sharing some of what you have to those who need help, every act of generosity counts and everyone has something to give. Join the movement and give.
Your gift to AWS, great or small, makes a difference. Whether it is your tax-deductible contribution, sponsoring one of our shelter animals, donating through AmazonSmile, or choosing from our Wish List of needed supplies... we truly appreciate your consideration of the shelter on this very special day. Every gift is important in the lives of the pets we serve. We rely on your contributions to keep our pets healthy, safe, fed, and comfortable as they patiently await adoption into their forever home.
AmazonSmile
is a simple and automatic way for you to support AWS every time you shop, at no cost to you.

YOUR SUPPORT
The Animal Welfare Society, Inc. (AWS) was founded in 1965 as an independent, non-profit, non-destroy animal rescue organization. Our mission is to offer refuge to homeless and abandoned dogs and cats and place them in loving, responsible homes. Animal Welfare Society
Your Generosity Of Time and Donations Make It All Possible...
VOLUNTEER. DONATE. SPONSOR.
Our shelter and the services we provide our animals are solely dependent upon the concern and generosity of the people and businesses in our community. We do not receive any public funds. We place many dogs and cats over the course of a year, but many more are waiting for the opportunity to come to our shelter. We encourage you to learn more about our organization, mission, work, shelter activities, as well as how you can help make it all possible through your membership, financial donations, sponsorship and volunteer support.
Animal Welfare Society is a 501(C)(3) nonprofit organization.
Donations are generally tax-deductible.

AWS PARTNERS
Your generous giving during this event truly assists AWS in providing food, shelter, medical care and affection to abandoned and neglected dogs and cats until they can be placed in responsible, loving homes. We are so very grateful for your support.
A special thanks to the Connecticut Community Foundation, and their staff, organizers and sponsors for hosting the event. They are truly a valuable asset to Connecticut's non-profit organizations.
This year's Give Local Event was held April 26-27, 2022.
AWS has partnered with a national nonprofit, Pets for Patriots, to help U.S. military veterans adopt the pet of their dreams.
Pets for Patriots aims to get harder-to-adopt pets out of shelters while offering free memberships to U.S. veterans and incentives to help them care for their new pet. The organization has a network of shelters that their members can use to find their perfect pet, and they pre-screen members before they visit shelters to make sure they’ll be good pet parents.

AWS is thrilled to be recognized by the Petco Foundation for our lifesaving work. We received a $3,500 grant that helps us continue to care for and find responsible, loving homes for the homeless pets in our area. Thank you Petco Foundation!
