	AWAN is the area's leading pet adoption agency. Located in Ulster County, NY. We have almost two decades of experience placing cats and dogs into loving homes in our community. Most of our budget pays veterinarians for spay/neuter, repair of the abused and support of special needs animals. We encourage No-Kill, and do our best to find homes for these deserving animals.

A.W.A.N. is a small, yet growing, grass roots, all volunteer rescue group located in Ulster County, "the gateway to the Catskill mountains" at Woodstock, New York.
We have a 20 year history, 501c(3) status. The heart of our mission is the fostering of cats and dogs in Network homes until loving adoptions are arranged. Most of our budget pays vets for spay/neuter, repair of the abused and support of special needs animals. We encourage No-Kill, Sad to say, whenever an area shelter goes no-kill our modest resources are stretched even thinner as the rejects are dumped, surrendered to us, or left to starve.
Within the limits of our spaces and money
We cannot and will not say "NO" to them
AWAN, in it's hands-on way, gives shelter and sanctuary while fighting the ancient battle against cruelty, ignorance, and indifference. Each of us feels the tragedy of not being equipped to do it all. The fact that we can't save every animal who needs us is heart breaking! For all the work of dedicated rescuers, the suffering seems to be increasing. We need HELP to continue and expand our effort. Every day more unwanteds are born to lives of horrific neglect and pain. Without more money we have no power to turn this around.
If passion and hard work were enough, we would have solved it already

AWAN has been placing cats and dogs, pups, and kittens in loving homes since September of 2001 at the PETsMART adoption center. We urge you to visit us...even if you not ready to adopt an animal yet, the human contact helps socialize them and will make their stay be more pleasant, knowing that humans care for them.

Our adoption coordinators see to the needs and comfort of the pets we have available for adoption, and are dedicated to helping people with the introduction, bonding, selection and paperwork of the adoption process.

AWAN loudly applauds PETsMART's national policy of never selling cats or dogs, supporting local rescues, and fighting puppy/kitten mills.
