DONATE TO HAWS HAWS is a charitable, 501(c)(3) non-profit organization funded primarily by donations and fundraising events. We receive no governmental tax-based revenues, although some local governments do contract with us for animal control (impound) services on a cost basis. Funds raised are used to provide for our animals, including proper veterinary care, quality food, warm beds and entertaining toys. Funds also support education and outreach programs that promote responsible pet ownership and prevent animal abuse and neglect. All donations are fully tax deductible as allowed by law.
General donations, both of money andsupplies, help us provide shelter 24/7/365 for lost, abandoned, unwanted or stray companion pets. These are welcome any time! Or, if you prefer, you may request that your gift be designated for a special fund, such as Annie's Fund for homeless animals needing medical care; theHAWS Mobile Adoption center; the Small Animal Fund for care of HAWS' rabbits, etc.; and sponsorships for ourSNIP clinic, special events oreducational programs.
HAWS is the best resource for our community's pets and their people, now and always.
