| The
Animal Welfare Society is an adoption
network committed to finding homes for companion animals.
The Animal Welfare Society strives to educate the community
about responsible pet ownership.The goal of the organization
was to secure homes for as many rescued animals as possible.Animal
welfare is the viewpoint that animals, especially those
under human care, should not suffer unnecessarily, including
where the animals are used for food, work, companionship,
or research.AWS also sponsors a humane
education program, indigent pet food program and some
assistance for veterinary care for individuals who meet
financial guidelines. AWS receives no government assistance.
All money is self generated. This position usually focuses
on the morality of human action (or inaction), as opposed
to making deeper political or philosophical claims about
the status of animals, as is the case for an animal
rights viewpoint. For this reason animal welfare organizations
may use the word humane in their title or position statements.
