The Arizona Animal Welfare League

At any one time, there are 140 cats and 190 dogs in our care. Annually, we rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome more than 4,000 cats and dogs. Our life-saving adoption efforts are made possible thanks to our collaborative partnerships with a network of open-intake urban and rural shelters across az. We transport animals from these high-needs, under-served communities to our main shelter in phoenix where they are given complete medical and behavior evaluations. During their time at aawl, animals are well cared for, with top-of-the-line veterinary care and food, daily walks, and exercise, play time, socialization and special behavior modifications to help them become more adoptable. Post adoption, aawl/spca offers adopters a free behavior helpline to help pet owner successfully transition their new pets into The home.

Aawl's community outreach and education efforts focus on advancing three strategic goals: finding adoptable animals homes, providing affordable, accessible vet care to underserved communities and keeping pet families together. We do that through a variety of strategies including volunteer and foster engagement, shelter diversion, community education and The delivery of veterinary services to pets in underserved communities. We partner with local schools and community centers to share pet resources and information and recruit and train pet parents who live and work in The communities we serve to be our aawl ambassadors and broaden our impact.

Aawl community vet clinic is a low-cost veterinary clinic to help those that cannot afford The high cost of medical care for their pet(s). By helping low-income pet owners access veterinary care, we help keep animals out of The shelter system and in their homes where they belong. Aawl also offers monthly low-cost vaccine and microchip clinics both on-site at our main shelter and off-site in underserved communities throughout maricopa county.
