UPDATE: Our recent promotion of waving adoption fees for the cats was a HUGE success! In the short two-week span, a total of THIRTY SIX cats found homes!!! The generous adopters donated over a THOUSAND pounds of dry cat food - saving the City of Leavenworth a substantial amount of money on our animal food budget for 2010.
Thank you to everyone that adopted during this time - because of you, the program was a huge success. Hope you are enjoying your new friend and all are staying warm and cozy in this frightful weather.
We are open daily for adoptions, but only once a month on Saturdays.

Leavenworth Animal Control Shelter
This is a great time to come visit your local animal shelter. You might even find your next best four-legged friend.
10/29/2009: It's that time of year again already! It is time for the annual Angel Tree to be placed at the shelter and readied to receive donations on behalf of the animals we care for. As many of you may know, participation is completely voluntary, and ALL donations are very much appreciated. For those that don't know, this is an annual event that takes place in November and December each year at the shelter. The Holiday tree will have various ideas of "gifts" the animals are in need of for the upcoming year. The items vary from the very inexpensive to one or two considerable "gift" ideas.
We have some very generous donors, and every item is appreciated and utilized for the animal in our care throughout the year. If you want to see what some of the items are on our Angel Tree this year, just scroll down to the "Wish List". This list changes from time to time, as our needs change from time to time.
We are always most grateful for any monetary donations we receive as well. The money is often used on medical care for the animals in our adoption rooms. We can accept cash or checks - checks must be made payable to LAWS (Leavenworth Animal Welfare Association). All monies received at the shelter stays at the shelter and is used 100% for the care and treatment of our adoptable animals.
01/02/2009: A wish for many years, has been to have a fund that we could utilize for animal needs that the regular city budget just can't cover. Sometimes, that might be as simple as purchasing flea and tick products from a veterinarian. But as can happen, an animal comes in that needs that extra care that only a veterinarian can give. Although we thank everyone for all the donations they bring, often times we find we are out of something on the list. We take in over 2,000 animals per year, and the needs of these animals vary widely. A donation in the form of cash or check is acceptable forms of payment, a receipt will be provided. Please make your check to LAWS, and make sure to note "Animal Control" in the remarks field of your check. THANKS from all the animals at the shelter!!!!
REGULAR BUSINESS/ADOPTION HOURS: Monday-Thursday 9:00 to 6:00 and Friday 10:00 to 6:00 and the second Saturday of each month from 10:00 - 4:00.
