The San Luis Valley Animal Welfare Society's (SLVAWS) mission is to improve the lives of animals in the San Luis Valley (SLV) of Colorado (especially dogs and cats), and to provide Colorado residents with fine companion animals. We also work to provide SLV residents with small animal services (especially referrals to low cost spay/neuter), humane education programs, opportunities for public service, and a 24 hour hotline: 719-587-WOOF (9663). We hold adoption fairs in Colorado Springs every Saturday.
