Arizona’s Oldest & Largest No-Kill Shelter A "no-kill" shelter is an animal shelter that does not kill healthy or treatable animals even when the shelter is full, reserving euthanasia for terminally ill animals or those considered dangerous to public safety.

In 2007, the Arizona Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) merged into AAWL. The new organization was renamed the Arizona Animal Welfare League & SPCA (AAWL & SPCA).

Dogs and cats available for adoption at the Arizona Animal Welfare League are: spayed/neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, behaviorally and medically evaluated, and treated for fleas/ticks.

The Arizona Animal Welfare League relies entirely on private donations to care for thousands of animals every year, fund all of its no-kill programs, and operate a low-cost clinic. We receive no tax dollars and are not affiliated with any other humane society, SPCA, or the ASPCA.

The AAWL Community Clinic (formerly known as MD Petcare) is the Arizona Animal Welfare League's premier low-cost veterinary clinic. Our mission is to be a supportive and valuable resource for pet guardians, by providing a lower-cost option for veterinary care.
