ANIMAL WELFARE SOCIETY

A Groovy Cele​bration

We’re going back - way back to 1965 when AWS was established. This year, we are celebrating 60 years of serving the community! 

Held at The Silo, 44 Upland Road, New Milford, this groovy celebration will include a fab grazing table, refreshments, far out raffle baskets, door prizes, and more! 

Please join us on Saturday, November 1 , from 12:30 PM - 3:30 PM. Wear your hippest outfit from the 60's era (optional) and receive an additional door prize ticket. It will be outta sight! We still have openings for Event Sponsors and Advanced Ticket Sales.

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.

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.
