The mission of AAWL/SPCA is to provide excellent care, protection, and loving compassion for the life of the animals entrusted to us and to take a leadership role in promoting humane values for the benefit of ALL animals and people. AAWL operationalizes this mission by providing veterinary care, behavioral support, food and shelter for homeless DOGS and CATS. We SPAY, neuter, micro-CHIP and vaccinate ALL PETS and then find them permanent, loving homes. We also offer a full-range of services for community members, including DOG training, and pride ourselves in leveraging the time and talents of over 450 volunteers and 250 fosters who help us care for our animals and assist with ALL aspects of shelter operations.
