More Than a Shelter,
A Community
AWA is committed to saving the lives of animals who need it most and serving the community through low-cost veterinary services, behavioral training, community outreach programs and education.
Saving Lives. Together
AWA is the oldest and largest no-kill animal shelter in South Jersey and your place to adopt a dog, cat, or small animal to make your family whole.
By adopting a pet at Animal Welfare Association you do more than just give one animal their second chance. You help to save more and more lives by supporting the rescue and best-in-class care of homeless pets who need it the most.

Your Support Means More Paws Saved
Your donations help abandoned new-born kittens grow strong and healthy, timid dogs learn to trust, senior pets find loving homes, and so much more.
We plan to continue to expand our life-saving initiatives along with the growth of our campus which strengthens our long-term commitment to thoughtful planning, sustainability, and respect for the community.

Enriching Our Community
