We're More Than a Shelter,
We're a Promise of Hope
We're not just a non-profit organization; we're a family dedicated to making a difference in the lives of animals. In Charlotte County, we proudly uphold a remarkable 93% save rate, and here's our promise:
Every animal that walks through our doors, with the help of veterinary care and training, will have a safe haven, nourishment, enrichment, and the boundless love of our devoted staff and volunteers. We're committed to standing by them, for as long as it takes, until each and every one finds their forever home.
The AWL is here to find the best match possible between adopters and the animals in our care. Keep in mind that a pet’s personality is very important, and it’s best to try to find a pet that will fit into your lifestyle.
