I adopted my sweet special needs girl from AAWL a few months ago and couldn’t be happier. She was born with a birth defect resulting in her eyelids not being fully formed, and underwent surgery prior to arriving at AAWL. After seeing her and a few others online I went in to visit and immediately fell in love with her. The staff was EXTREMELY kind and helpful. They took extra steps to ensure she went to a good home that had done their research and knew what to expect medically. In addition, I had a LOT of questions about her records and advice before I moved forward. Every individual I spoke with was really great and the entire adoption process went off without a hitch. I have already recommended AAWL to multiple people, and will continue to do so to anyone that will listen. Overall fantastic experience and I’m so thankful AAWL helped us find each other!!😄😸

Adopted our cat Phoenix from there, he is a sweetie. We attempted to get another cat and they offered a “sleepover” for a week since sometimes cat introductions don’t go well which was the case for this one. Was so nice to have the option of bringing them back safely incase it didn’t work out.

Got my sweet boy Pugsley from here a little over a month ago now and the after support they offer is great! The adoption process was a little irritating as in order to do a meet a greet, I HAD to walk my very anxious dog Jake right by the wall of scary, aggressively loud dogs in their kennel which I feel like is setting them up for failure on a meet and greet. It also just sucked to have to put my boy through that stress as he's an older dog whose been attacked before. It was also a little irritating that the several hundred adoption fee didn't come with a collar and they will not let you leave without your new dog having one so I had to buy one there which they aren't cheap! Other than those two things, everything else was great and it's cool they let the dogs out to play together and in a small pool!

Best shelter in the Phoenix area! I have adopted 3 wonderful kitties from here and it will always be my first choice. The staff takes time to interact with the animals on a daily basis. They provide you with any information they have on the animals- even if it's the not so great stuff we don't wanna hear. Just an awesome place! I recommend it to anyone mentioning they are interested in getting a furry friend. I highly recommend you check them out too! If nothing else support them by donating or ordering from their Amazon Wish List! You'll be glad you did.

If you are going to add a fur family member to your home-- get them from here. No kill shelter. They love and care for their furry friends. My dog came from here a year ago. My granddog came from here 8 yrs ago. Best dogs ever. Truly. Love these dogs. And I just started volunteering there sunday. Great humane loving place.

Over a week ago we went to the animal welfare league located in the chandler fashion mall. Going in we wanted a different type of dog but I am glad we chose to also meet our little girl Oreo. We love her and thankful to the animal welfare league for helping us adopt her. They were so helpful with information and helped us gather supplies for her to come home with us. We highly recommend this shelter for anyone to adopt. The staff also are very friendly, supportive, and helpful. Thank you all for taking our Oreo in so we could take her home.
