 Be A Hero

AWS Hero Tours

Hero Tours is a program designed to acknowledge children who make remarkable contributions to the AWS. When a child donor visits or contacts the shelter to make a substantial donation, they are given the opportunity to schedule a Hero Tour at the shelter. A Hero Tour includes a full behind-the-scenes tour of the facility as well as a Certificate of Appreciation and the option of having their picture taken which may be used on the web site or in a press release. For more information please contact Lona Ham at 985-3244 Ext: 109 or awshe@animalwelfaresociety.org

These young ladies from Lyman are big lovers of animals. They wanted to do something to help as many needy animals as they could, so they made a very generous donation of cash and supplies to AWS. Among the supplies were many items on our wish list, like Frontline, wet cat food, and paper towels. Here they are with one of the many cats we have available for adoption. Thanks for your generosity girls!

 

 

 

 

For her 7th birthday, Maria wanted to help the homeless animals at the Animal Welfare Society so she asked her friends and family NOT to give her presents but to give presents to the AWS. As you can see, they were VERY generous. Some people even wrote checks so that the Shelter can buy the medicine for the sick animals. Maria must have told them to read the Wish List on the website because the presents were perfect! There were toys, treats, peanut butter for dog enrichment and food for the animals. Here she is with one of the many cats we have available for adoption, as well as, her generous donation. Thanks Maria!

 

Meet Abby, a young lady enrolled in our AWS Summer Camp program. She has been having such an amazing time in our Camp that she decided to give back by making a sizable donation of supplies for the animals. Here she is with a darling little puppy. Thanks for your donation Abby!

 

 

 

Meet Kayla, from Biddeford. She recently had her 6th birthday party at a bowling alley, but instead of asking for gifts, she had everyone bring in a donation for the AWS. She ended up with a stack of food, toys, and and many other items from our donation wish list. Here she is with Chase, our resident Golden Retriever. Thanks for your donation Kayla!

 

 

 

 

 

This little lady is Allie from Saco. Allie is a lover of animals and wanted to do something to help those in need. She operated her own lemonade stand and donated the proceeds to the AWS to help us care for all the lost and abandoned animals. Thanks Allie!

 

 

 

Meet Anabel, Erin, and Julianne. While most kids are spending their summers on vacation or playing games, these girls decided to devote some time to help animals in need. They ran a successful lemonade stand and donated all proceeds to the AWS. Here they are presenting their donation check to a couple of lovable canines. Thanks for your donation girls!
