Animal Welfare Society

Animal Welfare Society is a non-profit animal rescue organization founded in 1965, dedicated to offering refuge to homeless and abandoned dogs and cats in New Milford, CT.

AWS focuses on finding loving, responsible homes for the animals in their care. They place many pets each year but always have more waiting for a chance at adoption.

The shelter is self-supporting and relies on community generosity to continue its work. Your support through donations or volunteer time makes a difference!
