Ways to Give

Our dedicated and generous supporters help more than 10,000 pets – and the people who love them – each year. In addition to caring for companion animals in our Adoption Center, our work extends to our community of pet lovers locally and statewide.

Together, we create new families through adoption and also keep pet families thriving with the resources our programs and services provide to our community.

Thank you!

Working with both children and pets takes a special and compassionate person, and that’s exactly how we would describe our Youth Programs volunteers! Alongside our Youth Programs Coordinator, volunteers help children visiting with AWS both inside and outside the classroom with fun games, tasks, education and, of course, animals. With programs like Rescue Readers, Furry Tales, and After School Club, there’s a lot to do around here regarding humane education! We’re grateful for the hard work and dedication of our Youth Programs volunteers who assist in teaching compassion, kindness, and care for all creatures!
