Our Clinic volunteers play a vital role in AWS’ bustling Community Veterinary Clinic. Whether it’s cleaning, doing laundry, greeting clients and patients, comforting animals during recovery, or sterilizing equipment, we couldn’t keep our resident and community pets happy and healthy without them. We’re always grateful for their hard work and dedication to the care and cleanliness of the clinic, as well as for their trained expertise in the animal medial field. Thank you, volunteers!
Today is the first day of Volunteer Appreciation week! It goes without saying that we couldn`t operate without our hardworking and dedicated team of fosters and volunteers. 𝑪𝒆𝒍𝒆𝒃𝒓𝒂𝒕𝒆 𝑾𝒊𝒕𝒉 𝑼𝒔!

Our Adoption Center volunteers are very versatile and dedicated individuals who are willing to help with a variety of daily tasks and general operations of the shelter. Cleaning kennels and animal spaces, tidying up small pet enclosures, running errands, providing animal enrichment, doing laundry, sorting through donations, answering phone calls, mopping all floors… we could go on! Our Adoption Center volunteers keep the animals, visitors, and staff members of AWS happy, healthy, and fulfilled. We truly couldn’t operate without them!
You’ve probably heard of getting your pet microchipped. But what exactly does this mean? We’re here to break down the ins and outs of microchipping for pets and why it’s so important!

Have you ever seen a naked guinea pig?! These adorable and hairless babies are a bonded trio consisting of a mother, Phoebe, and her two daughters, Miss Piggy and Peppa Pig. While mom is fully haired, her two babes were born naked! Not to worry, though, as this is a trait they likely inherited from their father is completely normal for the breed!
Commonly referred to as Skinny Pigs, hairless guinea pigs act, play, eat, sleep, and behave just like any other pig would. The only difference is the care they need to keep their skin healthy and free of cuts. If you`re interested in adopting this amazing trio, we`re here to answer any and all questions you may have!
This week is National Animal Control Officer Appreciation week, and we can`t miss the opportunity to thank our ACOs for their hard work and dedication to the cause! Local animal control officers are the first line of defense in helping stray, unwanted, or lost animals find shelter and care. They also provide help and information to the public about animal related issues, investigate animal related crimes or complaints, and preform humane captures of animals on the loose. They work hard because they love what they do and want to help the people and pets in their community!
A big thank you to Hannah and Ashley (both featured) and all of our hardworking ACOs! 🐶🐱 #animalcontrolofficer #ACO #acoappreciationweek #awsmaine #animalwelfaresoceity #appreciationpost #animalcontrol #weloveouracos
