AWL offers support to local animal welfare groups through grants and fostering a sense of community togetherness through outreach and education initiatives. We work in close collaboration with animal shelters and rescues to create a safer and happier world for our beloved animals.
How We Help
Our Partners
AWL partners with local rescue groups like Diamonds in the Ruff Canine Rescue, formally, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization established in 2007. Informally, a local group of volunteer dog lovers that rescue, provide sanctuary, and ultimately re-home abandoned, stray and neglected dogs.

Individuals must bring proof of Wayne County residency and documentation of need such as tax return, enrollment in Temporary Aid to Needy Families (TANF) or Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). Extenuating Circumstances such as job loss are always taken into consideration. Compassionate volunteers are available to help you complete the application process.
