Compassion in Action for Avoyelles’ Animals.

Small shelter. Big impact.

At Avoyelles Animal Welfare Society (AAWS), we're more than just a shelter. We are a safe haven. We are a second chance. We are a voice for the voiceless.

Membership Pawtner Options:

When you become a monthly member, you become part of their rescue story.
We don’t receive government funding - our shelter runs on heart, hustle, and the generous support of people like you. Your monthly gift helps us provide food, vet care, safe shelter, and a path to forever homes.
Every tier makes a difference. Every dollar gives hope.
If you believe every animal deserves a second chance, this is how you give it to them.

Every membership level helps us rescue, heal, and rehome more animals. Choose the giving level that fits your heart, then watch your impact grow.
