The AWS is participating in this year's Iams Home 4 the Holidays Adoption Drive! The goal of the nationwide adoption drive is to place 1 million homeless animals into happy and loving homes this holiday season from October 1 through January 5, 2008. We're asking everyone to open their hearts this holiday season and be a hero to a pet who needs a home!

The Animal Welfare Society has been serving the Howard County, Maryland community for over 50 years.
We offer low-cost sterilizations and vaccinations to help reduce pet overpopulation and the incidence of disease. We are also a rescue organization for companion animals. Most often, we rescue pets from overcrowded high-kill Baltimore shelters.
This non-profit facility receives no government funding. Your donations to our shelter will assist us in continuing to provide these services to the community. We hope that you will patronize our services and refer us to other pet owners. In this way, we can continue our mission of helping people to help their pets live longer, healthier lives!

Monday through Friday, we perform spay and neuter surgeries and hold vaccine clinics. We operate in the same manner as a veterinarian's office. On Saturdays, we host a pet adoption day. This is when we function as an animal shelter.
The Animal Welfare Society is only open to the public during the limited hours listed below. We simply do not have the resources necessary to accept unexpected visitors throughout the day. We thank you in advance for adhering to our schedule!
