FROM SHELTER TO FOREVER HOME

Adopt a Dog

Check out all our latest dogs in the shelter! All of our cats and dogs are fully vaccinated, spayed/neutered and microchipped before final adoption. To adopt from AWSJC, you will need to complete an adoption questionnaire. The staff will review the questionnaire with you and conduct a personal interview. Feel free to call, email or stop by to answer any questions you might have.

Adoption Fees

Every dog has a story — and they’re all waiting for a happy ending. From playful puppies to gentle seniors, our adoptable dogs are looking for loving homes where they can feel safe, cherished, and part of the family.

When you adopt, you’re not just gaining a pet — you’re saving a life and making space for us to rescue another. Things to consider when adopting your dog.

“Happy Tails” from Adopters

“I adopted my dog Finley (formerly Fuzzy) from Animal Welfare Socity on 11/4/2018. He loves other dogs and traveling and has been the best companion.  I can't imagine life without my friend.”
