AWL adopts animals to their forever homes throughout Maryland, and has adopted pets to homes in many other states as well. We strive to find the best match for both animal and family or person The goal of AWL is to achieve a “no-kill”, open-admission shelter. “No-kill” means that all healthy or medically treatable animals, as well as all behaviorally sound animals will have the opportunity to be adopted to a caring home. This is now being achieved in open-admission shelters around the country through innovative and progressive shelter practices. Animal Welfare League strives to place the right animal in the right home with the right owner. We want our adopters and adoptees to succeed. Our fees for adoption cover spay/neuter, age appropriate vaccinations, and ensure that AWL can continue to save the lives of other animals in the community.
