Please, rescue animals from AWL!!!1 by Dawn K via Insider Pages on 9/30/2012
THIS IS MY SUGGESTION TO YOU. PLEASE ADOPT FROM AWL!!! THERE ARE SO MANY DOGS THAT NEED TO BE RESCUED FROM THAT PLACE!!!! They deserve a chance in a loving home!!!! BUT DO NOT let their vets TREAT your animal!!! You have to let them…
Incorrect info? by Josh H via Insider Pages on 1/12/2012
One review (the long one) states that the Animal Welfare League is a no kill shelter. If this is true, they must have recently changed their policy and not put that information on their website. (I still remember the huskies they put down…
Support AWL by Jenny Pruim via Citysearch on 11/8/2011
AWL is overwhelmed and need money, effective volunteers and donations. The reason some shelters are overwhelmed is because they are trying to help every animal in need that they come across. Other shelters are more "picky" about what…

No excuse by Susan m via Insider Pages on 1/26/2011
Understaffed and underfunded is no excuse for poor care, or for unnprofessional behavior. And I take exception with the people who comment about me not doing anything to help the situation because I care enough about my pet to write a…
One sour grape ruins the entire bunch. by dawn via Insider Pages on 10/19/2010
I understand that this place is overcrowded and understaffed, however that is an issue that they should address. It is not fair to the animals to be left in such conditions. I found two dogs I wanted to adopt from a shelter in Niles,…
Complaining? Then donate some money to help them by Alana s via Insider Pages on 9/25/2010
I don't know much about the Veterinary clinic, but I know as a volunteer and from personal experience, the staff here is VERY overwhelmed, and they are on a stretched budget. People complain about the smell and how dirty it is, but people…
Good dog from them, but strange methods... by Roni W via Insider Pages on 7/21/2010
I adopted a german shepherd/lab mix puppy from AWL last year. The adoption process went smoothly and he is a joy to have and the best companion I've ever had. I decided to take my dog there earlier this year for his yearly vaccination…

Animal Welfare League is neglectful by Don O via Insider Pages on 12/9/2009
I recently bought a new Fox Terrier for my family. We took him home and he immediately started coughing. We brought him back and he was diagnosed with Kennel cough. He spent the next few days there and we finally brought him home, but…
Animals Waiting for the Right Home by Sandie G via Insider Pages on 12/6/2009
I found an animal at this shelter 6 years ago, a Newfoundland mix, that is still a loyal companion. I recommend them, or any animal shelter, when searching for a pet. With an open mind, and a strong dose of reality, these animals are best…
We found our special puppy there... by Heidi T via Insider Pages on 11/24/2009
At the end of a long day at the shelter and after signing papers and paying an adoption fee, our new puppy was to go to be microchipped (there on the premises) before we could take him home. The personnel could not find him, and at last…
We adopted a wonderful doggie from the AWL by Michelle M via Insider Pages on 5/22/2009
We adopted the best little Shih Tzu in the world from the Animal Welfare League. He was a stray that they had to treat and was in pretty bad shape. But I knew he was to be our dog. He is fully recovered from his illness and totally…
love our dog by peg o via Insider Pages on 5/14/2009
I adopted a stray terrier mix from them. She is a wonderful dog. I have taken her to the clinic three times and have had nothing but good experiences there. I have called on the phone to ask questions and found the staff to be very…
Dog Thief by Irene S via Insider Pages on 1/12/2009
I had a female Beagle/Pekineses mix who is 15 yrs. old. A few days ago Cookie, my dog, was yelping and crying out in pain, I had no idea what was wrong with her, or what I should do to help relieve her pain. My mother told me to call the…
No Way! by Robert J via Insider Pages on 1/2/2009
This place was once a shining star for unwanted animals... now I would steer so far from here it's not funny. In my opinion, this shelter is underfunded, poorly managed and a germ bed! There is no guarantee that your animal is…
Practice what you preach by Kimberly R via Insider Pages on 11/29/2008
I am a volunteer at the shelter and I am disgusted by the people on here that are so fast to criticize but put no effort out to help. I have adopted a pure breed Miniature Pincer and a Chocolate Lab that are wonderful dogs. Before I got…
sad & horrible but still.......... by jayne r via Insider Pages on 11/24/2008
This place is sooooooooo overwhelmed, under funded, disorganized & under staffed it was truly one of the saddest things I've ever seen. After adopting 2 kits from this place, I've spent over $1000.00 getting them healthy. There are so many…
disappointed, inexperienced office staff by Heidabelle P via Insider Pages on 7/30/2008
So of course ALL shelters are great. They do try their best to take care of the unwanted animals. BUT I spent 3 hrs there w/ my 4 children trying to find a dog. After meeting the BEST DOG EVER that was so gentle with ALL my children, comes…
