Mission
The San Luis Valley Animal Welfare Society's (SLVAWS) mission is to improve the lives of animals in the San Luis Valley (SLV) of Colorado (especially dogs and cats), and to provide Colorado residents with fine companion animals. We also work to provide SLV residents with small animal services (especially low cost spay/neuter), humane education programs, and opportunities for public service.
Background Statement
The all volunteer SLV Animal Welfare Society was established in 2001 by a few caring people to serve a desperate need to rescue the many homeless often suffering animals in the impoverished San Luis Valley of Colorado. Aileen and Frank Peek mortgaged their home to purchase the abandoned Battle Mountain Gold Mine property and buildings for use as a shelter. The Society secured grant funding from the Animal Assistance Foundation of Denver when it was under the direction of David Gies and Joan Casey to purchase high tech Mason indoor kennels , Priefert outdoor kennels and insulated and heated dog houses for each outdoor kennel. We also have built 7 large fenced dog parks where shelter dogs can run all day and socialize with each other.
