BECOME A MEMBER OF HAWS
The small group of concerned citizens that came together to form HAWS in 1965 had the goal of creating a haven for homeless and stray companion animals of the Waukesha County area. Using contributions and community spirit they created a legacy of caring that continues today.
HAWS is a private, non-profit organization. We receive no federal, state or local tax funding. Donors, corporate sponsors and, most importantly, members make the difference in keeping HAWS alive. Join HAWS today and help us achieve our goal of finding loving, permanent homes for the pets of our community.
"One person can make a difference and every person should try."
- John F. Kennedy
