Animal Welfare of the Albemarle Region Everyday! (AWARE) is proud to be a key partner and supporter of the Tri-County Animal Shelter, helping to improve the lives of shelter pets across Chowan, Gates, and Perquimans counties.
How AWARE Helps the Shelter
Through grants and generous community donations, AWARE has provided direct support to enhance the care, comfort, and well-being of animals in the shelter. Some of the ways we’ve made a difference include:
- Supplying Kuranda dog beds for comfort and cleanliness
- Installing a wash station to improve hygiene and care
- Creating a fenced-in play yard to give dogs room to run and play
- Providing essential supplies and equipment to improve shelter operations
Why It Matters
Our shelter is small and rural—but the animals deserve the best care possible. AWARE steps in where the budget can’t, ensuring every animal has a safe, clean, and comfortable space while they wait for their forever home.
100% Donor-Funded Support
Every dollar AWARE receives goes directly to programs like these. There are no paid staff or overhead—just a mission to help animals and support the shelter that protects them.
