The Animal Welfare League is a non-profit organization committed to animal protection and welfare. We are based in Port Charlotte, Florida.
Since 1963 our shelter has served the Charlotte County community by providing a temporary home, medical service and care for many dogs, cats and other animals.
These animals come to us as strays, pets given up by their owners, unfortunate animals rescued from abuse and neglect, or simply lost pets in need of being re-united with their families.

Will you help fill our bowls?With summer approaching and kitten season right now, we are in desperate need of adult canned(wet)cat food, kitten dry food and kitten canned(wet) food. Any quantity and/or brand is accepted.
Alleviate the financial stress associated with your pet's unexpected medical expenses and generate funds for our shelter at the same time! Simply apply for a ShelterCare Pet Insurance Program by using the ShelterCare banner-link. Here's how it works: ShelterCare Pet Insurance Programs cover you when your pet needs essential veterinary care from an illness or injury. Also, every time a completed application for a ShelterCare program is generated through our shelter's website, we automatically receive a $25 donation to help cover common needs like blankets, litter and food. This donation is of no cost to you and provides us with essential funds. Make the right move and enroll today! |
