The Humane Animal Welfare Society is no ordinary animal shelter! Both open admission and no-kill, HAWS is dedicated to strengthening the relationship between animals and humans through adoptions and education, making a more compassionate community possible.
HAWS’ founders believed in the values of empathy, kindness and compassion, and worked to create leaders that care about the welfare of all living things. Today, the HAWS team remains committed to continuing that legacy.
Each year, HAWS engages more than 11,000 future leaders through humane, character-driven youth education and animal interactions. Virtual curriculum includes offerings such as Dog Body Language, Training Tips and the No More Bullying program. In-person activities take place at both the shelter and the new HAWS Schallock Center for Animals, and range from clubs and camps with animals to events welcoming all members of the family.
With innovation at every turn, HAWS is the No. 1 resource for pets and their people.
