Please be patient with us if our adoptable albums aren't always current! While we try very hard to keep our adoptable albums up to date, the needs of the animals in our care take priority! We also post adoptable pets on our Facebook page!

Business Partnerships
DCAWS is proud to partner with local business to promote shelter pets. These programs also serve to highlight businesses within the community that align with the mission of helping pets in need. Business partnership programs include:
Heartworm Disease Treatment Sponsorship
Businesses can opt to sponsor the heartworm treatment costs for a dog in need. Heartworm disease is a treatable condition, but many prospective adopters are discouraged by the expense for treatment. Businesses can break down this barrier and help shelter dogs find loving, forever homes. Animal Services will highlight the sponsoring business both on the dog’s kennel and online.
Dog and Cat Display
For businesses who would like a visual representation of their support for the shelter, a dog and cat display is available. These are currently featured in several restaurants, salons and offices throughout DCAWS recommends a donation of $50 for an initial cost to help offset the cost of creating the materials.
Donation Drives
Businesses can host an internal or external donation drive aiming to help gather supplies for the benefit of the shelter and its pets. Animal Services will typically highlight the participating business in social media mentions to help promote and then thank for the donation drive.
Businesses interested in participating in any number of these programs, or pitching another idea, are welcome to email contact@dcaws.org for more information.
