Support veterinary care for pets who need it most

Lack of access to affordable veterinary care should never be a reason a pet goes untreated or has to be rehomed. Therefore, by giving to support veterinary care, via one of our dedicated funds, you keep pets happy, healthy and at home – right where they belong.

Companions for Life Fund

At AWS, our mission is to provide resources to all pets, whether an AWS resident awaiting a new home, or a beloved companion to a community member. We do this through our very own Community Veterinary Clinic. Our Clinic’s services are affordable, keeping veterinary care accessible to everyone.

The Companions for Life Fund supports the veterinary care of resident pets, so they go to their new homes happy and healthy. Additionally, it supports the Companion Program, a subsidized tier of fees offered to qualified Clinic clients, to ensure pet families stay together and thrive.

He brought to the Clinic a steadfast presence, a depth of veterinary knowledge and a genuine love for all animals. With his soft-spoken nature and kind demeanor, he was beloved by his colleagues, AWS volunteers and the clients he served. Dr. Sharp passed away after a short illness in late 2021. He is greatly missed.

A very sweet Happy Homes! 🐾

"Charlie is doing great in his new home! After having to say goodbye to our last dog in September '23, we met Charlie in February and fell instantly in love. He’s a big, smart, playful, high-energy pupper! It took a few months for him to really get comfortable with us, but now he’s happy and settled in. He loves playing fetch in the yard, keeping watch for squirrels and pedestrians, and snoozing with his people. We’re so happy that this sweet, beautiful boy is part of our lives!"

Teaching your dog to walk with you comfortably is an all-important step if you want to take your dog with you anywhere. Whether it’s a walk on a hiking trail or around a busy city, knowing you can easily walk your dog without worrying they will pull is important! That’s why we teach loose leash walking. A loose leash walk is defined a walk where there is no tension on the leash.
