Who We Are

Our mission is to rescue and care for animals in need; Our one and only goal is finding the right home for each and every one of them. While we find great placements, we work on educating the public on why we do what we do, and how they can help us reach a lower homeless pet population. . In doing so, we are able to maximize our impact, and focus on local and nationally- in need animals. We are a no-kill animal rescue/shelter.

What We Do

Animal Welfare Friends is so much more than an animal rescue & shelter. Our organization is built around the idea of community, the belief that with us, animal lovers working together, we can be a force of goodness and refuge for homeless pets. Founded in 2003, AWF's primary focus was shifted towards ALL homeless pets; in turn, flourished the community with a necessary go-to for any lost, or unwanted pet they had. The burning passion & desire to do more for these animals is what led us to building our official facility in 2016. Since then, we've found loving homes for nearly every single animal that has came to us in any condition. From local strays, surrenders, to crisis support, and pulling animals off of kill-lists; we see it all, and we do it all. For the entirety of our existence, we hold true to one belief, and that is ALL animals, deserve welfare, humaneness, kindness, and love. As of 2024, we have expanded our vision further than we ever believed we'd be able; and with that comes the sincere necessity of more helping hands.
