Many thanks to the nice folks at BizGrok for sponsoring this site.

Welcome to the Danbury Animal Welfare Society's Web Site

Danbury Animal Welfare Society, Inc. (DAWS) is a non-profit, volunteer-run organization dedicated to improving the lives of animals in our community and beyond. Founded in 1974, DAWS provides shelter and care to animals in need, offers adoption counseling to place our animals in loving, forever homes, promotes responsible pet guardianship and the humane treatment of animals, and works toward ending animal overpopulation through education, spay/neuter, and trap, neuter and return programs.

For adoption hours and directions to our facility, click on the About Us link.
