Since March 2003, Animal Welfare Friends (AWF) has been providing veterinary care and finding homes for abandoned, abused and neglected dogs and cats. We are a no-kill shelter helping the homeless animals of Eastern/Northeastern Iowa and beyond!

Donations can be made in honor or memory of someone, which we feature on our Remembering & Honoring page.
