Who We Are
The Hot Springs Village Animal Welfare League (HSVAWL) is in Hot Springs Village, Arkansas. We are an all-volunteer 501(c)(3) nonprofit rescue organization that works cooperatively with the Hot Springs Village Property Owners Association (POA) Animal Control to rescue, vet, and find homes for ALL adoptable cats and dogs that come through POA intake.
AWL has no paid employees and is appreciative of the hard work by the POA animal control officers, who provide valuable service to all animals. AWL pays for food, veterinary expenses and litter for all animals in the shelter building, including strays and lost pets reclaimed by owners, as well as those for adoption.
We depend solely upon donations, memberships, and grants to sustain our programs. We are not subsidized by the POA nor government entities.
All donations are tax deductible, and 100% of your donation directly supports the animals. The AWL expresses gratitude to the volunteers who make these benefits happen and to those guests who support their efforts to save the animals.
SPAY NEUTER CLINics
At our final spay neuter clinic earlier in November, 100 cats and dogs were sterilized and received their vaccinations.
Also, 33 previously sterilized animals received testing and vaccinations at the special shot clinic on Wednesday afternoon.
Our 2022 clinic dates have been announced: March 28 & 29 at Crows; May 16 & 17 at Mountain Pine; September 12 & 13 at Paron; November 14 & 15 at Fountain Lake.
