Our mission is to place all rescued and surrendered adoptable pets into loving homes and to prevent the overpopulation of unwanted animals.
Started in 1991 by a group of HSV residents who raised funds to help the POA Animal Control, we have grown into a vibrant nonprofit rescue group dedicated to help homeless animals in need of care and companionship.
We depend solely upon donations, memberships, grants, small adoption fees, and fundraising events to support the programs that help our homeless cats and dogs find homes.
The AWL has no paid employees, and receives no financial support from the HSVPOA or any other government entity.
