Thank you for considering a gift to Animal
Welfare Society, Inc. (AWS). Financial support from generous donors like
you is critical to continue our programs of rescue, care, and placement
of the roughly 500 pets saved each year.
Your gift today will provide urgent care to
homeless and abandoned pets right now, when they need it most. With your
support, Animal Welfare Society, Inc., can rescue animals and help them
recover and thrive, while they patiently await adoption into their
loving and permanent homes. One-time gifts are appreciated and welcome,
and recurring gifts make what we do possible by sustaining our
organization and our efforts.
We offer two categories of gifts to help you achieve your charitable goals:
While every animal at the shelter is available for adoption to the right home, a few are harder to place and some may never find homes. The AWS Sponsor a Pet Program is designed to help us give extra care to these "special-needs animals,” as well as to help support the rest of our animals until they find the right homes. A minimum gift of $250 or a recurring gift of $20 or more is required. A recurring gift is a great way to show year-round care and concern for these pets. Your monthly support will help provide ongoing care for as long as your chosen pet needs it. When you become a monthly contributor, your name will appear on that pet’s page for as long as he or she is available for adoption. You will also receive a letter of appreciation and a quarterly update of all the special needs pets. If your chosen pet is adopted, you will have an opportunity to choose another pet.
Some of the animals we rescue have been hurt or injured; strays and abandoned animals are often hit by vehicles on the road or experience another type of trauma. Donations to this fund will be restricted to animal medical emergencies. When you become a monthly sponsor of the Medical Emergency Fund you will receive a quarterly update of all the medical emergency pets.

Our Seniors for Seniors program enables senior citizens with limited resources experience the joy of pet companionship. Research shows that caring for an animal such as a dog or cat can boost a senior individual’s self-confidence and improve their health and overall quality of life. AWS will waive 100% of the fee so that a senior citizen (age 60 and older) can adopt a senior cat or dog (age 8 years or older).
