Haywood Animal Welfare Association Incorporation

Wellness program--this program provides funds to promote access to vet services by low-income pet owners in the county. By ensuring the cost of the office visit, sick pets can be treated despite the financial stress of its owner. In addition, we provide generic medications for treating worms, tapeworms, and preventing flea and tick infestations at a very low cost.

Microchip program-we provide low-cost microchip id for pets being registered for spay/neuter services and hold 2-3 clinics during the year. The goal is to increase the number of pets entering the shelter or brought to local vets being identified and returned to their owners. The program is now more valuable because the state of nc has mandated that local shelters scan for microchips as the animals enter the shelter
