We invite our members and supporters to
donate to these worthy AWL programs:

Spay/Neuter Clinics - Held quarterly at four area locations to help pet owners in need to have their animals sterilized and prevent unwanted puppies and kittens from being born and ending up as strays or in shelters.

Angel Fund - The AWL helps low-income pet owners in emergency situations whose pets need immediate veterinary care beyond the owners' abilities to pay.

Education Fund - The AWL provides "Kind News", a publication of the Humane Society of the U.S., to grades 1 through 6 in our three area schools.  The publication, which teaches kindness to animals,  is used by teachers to provide various learning experiences for the students in the form of articles, games, puzzles, and photos.   The League also provides books to the schools' libraries and conducts essay contests for the students.

Your donations to these worthy programs would be much appreciated!  Thank you!

New Recycling Option for the Village

Recycling volunteers from L-R are:
Patrick McCullough, Jim Weaver, Don Fisher, Mike Frantz

Tenenbaum Recycling Group of Hot Springs will be handling aluminum beverage can recycling for AWL.  Their yellow drop off bin at the HSV recycling center on Cloaca Lane can be used when the center is open.  Or...drop off bagged aluminum cans  anytime at the outdoor collection bin located near the shelter driveway exit.  Please recycle ALUMINUM BEVERAGE CANS ONLY at these two drop off sites.  Donated cans pay for care and adoption costs for the shelter animals.  AWL recycled 14,000 lbs. of cans in 2010!  That's a lot of dog & cat food and a lot better for the environment.
