AWL Adoption Center Info

Become a Volunteer Today

AWL’s Adoption Center is housed in part of the Village Animal Shelter and is the temporary home for many of our adoptable pets. They have been vetted, sterilized, and deemed adoptable. AWL volunteers are crucial in the care and socialization of our cats and dogs until they find their forever home.
