Humane Animal Welfare Society of Waukesha County: Large Non-Profit of the Year

Approximately five to seven million stray animals are placed into animal shelters nationwide every year. Helping the Waukesha area with animal overpopulation is the Humane Animal Welfare Society of Waukesha County (HAWS). In 2009, with the generous support from donors and the community, HAWS was able to complete its facility expansion. Soon after, it was awarded Waukesha County Executive Awards Large Non-Profit of the Year for 2010. Watch a video below detailing the HAWS services.

HAWS has been leading the Waukesha community in animal welfare while offering sanctuary to animals in need since 1969. It provides education and takes in about 6,000 animals a year and welcomes over 31,000 visitors annually.

Community Shares of Greater Milwaukee is passionately committed to raising money for our more than 50 nonprofit members through employee giving in area workplaces. By donating to Community Shares, you help us help them make Milwaukee a better place to live.
