The mission
of the Animal Welfare Society is to provide services that benefit both animals
and people through a variety of programs. Some of the essential services that
we provide are listed below.
The AWS provides shelter to hundreds of
homeless puppies, kittens, cats and some adult dogs each year. These services
are not provided by the Jefferson County Animal Control- they only accept adult
dogs, so the AWS provides an important service to the community.
The AWS provides pet adoption services to the community.
All of the animals available for adoptions are vaccinated, leukemia tested, and
spayed or neutered prior to adoption.
The AWS sponsors low cost
rabies clinics throughout the county.
The AWS provides information
to the public on animal care, the importance of spaying and neutering, and health
risks affecting animals and people (e.g., rabies, injured wildlife).
The AWS promotes kindness and respect for animals through special events,
public service announcements, humane education programs, a regular column in the
Spirit of Jefferson, and dissemination of informational materials and a semi-annual
newsletter.
The AWS provides financial assistance to the public
for spaying/neutering their pets in an effort to reduce the homeless animal population.
