As part of those shelter intervention efforts, we also plan to expand behavioral resources for both AAWL adopters and pet owners in the community to help keep pet families together. In addition to working to keep animals out of the shelter system, we also are working hard to build an inclusive and welcoming culture at AAWL that reflects the rich diversity of pet families and individuals we serve.
