Together, we are growing our humane community

At the Humane Animal Welfare Society (HAWS), we are dedicated to pets and their people.

The Humane Animal Welfare Society (HAWS) uses innovative ideas to achieve the goal of a humane community. 

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.
