Mission
The Animal Welfare Association is an organization dedicated to eliminating animal suffering, promoting the importance of the human animal bond and improving recognition of the role of animals in the well-being of people.
Programs
AWA's current projects include: an adoption center, shelter partnering program, a low-cost spay/neuter clinic, humane education programs for children, and a pet therapy program for nursing home residents. The AWA shelter is open seven days a week. Many of the dogs, cats and rabbits that come to the AWA shelter receive extensive veterinary care. Over the past year, more than 2000 animals in need received care and 10,200 spay/neuter surgeries were performed through AWA programs. The AWA also operates New Jersey's first mobile spay/neuter van. Additional programs include shelter partnering which entails cooperative assistance with other shelters in an effort to reduce euthanasia of healthy,adoptable animals and serve as a resource center for pet owners.
