About us:
Founded in 1971, the Arizona Animal Welfare League is the largest and oldest no-kill shelter in the state of Arizona. We started as a small sanctuary for homeless animals and have grown over the past 50 years to become a statewide animal welfare organization providing a full range of community services from adoptions and behavioral assessments to humane education and low-cost veterinary services.
AAWL is investing in developing new shelter intervention and “Access to Veterinary Care” programs to help us accomplish our long-term goals to provide affordable, accessible veterinary care to underserved low-income communities near the shelter and to decrease the number of animals who enter the shelter system altogether. 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.
