About HAWS

The Humane Animal Welfare Society (HAWS) is an open-admission, no-kill shelter dedicated to strengthening the relationship between animals and humans through adoptions and education – making a more compassionate community possible.

Open Admission & No-Kill Mission

Through our diverse programs, HAWS is committed to remaining an open admission shelter while also maintaining no-kill status. To that end, HAWS has created programs to both care for animals in need and to craft a long-lasting solution supporting pets and their people in our community.  

History

At HAWS, we are extremely proud of our humble beginnings, and the legacy left by our founders. Since 1965, HAWS has been a trusted, community-based organization that is always ready to assist animals and the people who love them.

Leadership

The Board of Directors of HAWS and our Emerging Leaders are a caring group of volunteers who work diligently to guide the organization to fulfill our mission. They are true role-models, ensuring HAWS remains the top animal resource for our community and beyond.
