Since March 2003, Animal Welfare Friends (AWF) has been providing veterinary care and finding homes for Eastern Iowa’s abandoned, abused and neglected dogs and cats. We focus on the homeless animals of Jones County, and beyond, when we have the resources to do so.
Each year brings more animals in need than ever. Please help us continue to make a difference in the lives of homeless animals by making a donation today.
AWF is 501 c3 non-profit organization and your donation is tax deductible.
