Douglas Animal Welfare Group

Douglas Animal Welfare Group To better the lives of Douglas County (NV) animals and their humans through adoption and beyond. What is DAWG all about? DAWG supports Douglas County animals.

DAWG is a non-profit group of dedicated volunteers and members who rely entirely on donations, membership dues, grants, fund-raising events and recycling programs to fund the goals of its Mission Statement. For shelter animals at DCAS, we pay for spay and neuter, medical emergencies and health problems. In addition, we pay for special diets, treats and canned pet foods, and microchip the shelter d

ogs and cats. We also use funds to improve the shelter’s kennels, bedding, exercise areas, and have provided separate housing for cats and kittens. DAWG assists Douglas County residents through our Community Outreach programs such as Fix-A-Family Pet (low-cost spay and neuter), Fix a Pit Bull, Foster, Found Cat, TnR - Trap/Neuter/Spay/Return (helps to control the population of "Community Cats" also known as feral cats), Community Assist (provides medical help for the pets of Douglas residents in need), and Veterans Adoption Assistance. DAWG Active Volunteers visit the dogs and cats at the shelter 365 days a year, including holidays when the shelter is closed to the public. We exercise and walk them, give affection, grooming, training, and praise. The time we spend with them gives us information about their behavior which we share with potential adopters. DAWG also educates the community about responsible pet ownership. We provide speakers to community groups and events, as well as printed educational materials. Fundraisers
