Welcome to the website and on-line directory for the Animal Welfare Network of Lane County. AWNLC is an umbrella organization formed by various animal welfare organizations in Lane County to work together with vision and compassion in a cooperative manner to improve the lives and health of all animals. 

An e-mail group has been set up for members to communicate with each other. It is an open membership, un-moderated list. If you are interested in joining, you can learn more about it here:  http://groups.yahoo.com/group/awnlc/

This website is the result of one major AWNLC project - a resource directory of Lane County animal welfare organizations. Originally published in 2002, the directory is given free of charge to public safety offices - police and fire, various government agencies, libraries, schools, veterinary clinics, county shelters and rescue groups, and various pet-related businesses. Until the directory was published and distributed, there was no single place to look to find groups and organizations to which people could be directed, whether the concern was what to do about a stray animal or where someone could find financial assistance or veterinary care for their companion animals.

Now both a paper and web-based directory are available. To find an organization, click here or on the Local Resources button. If you have questions, suggestions, or changes for the directory information, please click here: Contact Us.

How One Person Makes a Difference

John Patrick McDonnell is a syndicated cartoonist. He regularly posts his "Shelter Stories" as part of his MUTTS series. He does this because he is dedicated to raising awareness of animals in shelters and to encourage animal adoption. To view more of his "Shelter Stories," click here. One person's dedication is making a difference - something we all can do one way or another.
