Animal Welfare Association's MISSION is to eliminate animal suffering, promote the importance of the human-animal bond, and improve the role of animals in the well-being of people. Animal Welfare Association's VISION is to be "A Place Where Happiness Begins" by creating a compassionate community, by serving as a resource for pet lovers/pet owners in need, and by envisioning achieving zero tolerance for companion animals needlessly suffering and dying in our South Jersey community. AWA's history demonstrates a continuing commitment to reaching beyond its facility walls to achieve its mission and vision, believing that a compassionate community should look to enhance the lives of all in the community, including the most vulnerable pets and people.
