In the year 1959 a small group of animal lovers joined together to help the homeless dogs and cats of Clark County, Ohio. Land was purchased, and a "welfare farm" was established. We're still located at our original home at 6330 Willowdale Road (Springfield, Ohio), and we currently feed and shelter approximately 150 dogs and cats.

Prior to adoption, all animals are spayed or neutered (being of age), and they have all their proper vaccinations. Our adoption fee is tax-deductible.

 

The Animal Welfare League is incorporated as a non-profit, 501 (C)(3) corporation.

The Animal Welfare League of Clark County receives no state or county financial aid, and we must exist solely on fund-raising projects, donations, and bequests from the animal loving public in the area.

While our goal is to find homes for all the strays at our farm, a shortage of "good" homes results in a number of permanent residents at the farm. The AWL is led by a board of 12 members and consists of numerous dedicated volunteers.
