The Gunnison Valley Animal Welfare League (GVAWL) has multiple programs which are the core of its mission statement. These programs include housing and caring for stray and homeless animals, adopting animals into permanent homes, providing education to the community on the proper care of animals to help prevent their neglect and mistreatment, assisting community members with spay and neuter costs, and the utilization of our Silver Whiskers program. GVAWL accepts stray and relinquished cats and dogs throughout Gunnison County, and provides care to them in either the shelter or approved foster homes. This care includes microchipping, vaccinations, spay/neuter, and any emergency or necessary veterinary treatment required before an animal can be returned to its owner or adopted to a new home. We are the only animal shelter directly affiliated with the City and County of Gunnison and work closely with all law enforcement agencies and when possible, with neighboring counties Hinsdale and Saguache as they do not have such services available.   We strongly encourage and stress the importance of spaying and neutering pets and provide assistance to our community members by offering coupons to those in need of financial assistance as well as spaying/neutering feral cats in the county. We also manage a Silver Whiskers Program in which we match seniors with senior pets, waive the adoption fees, and assist with the cost of the animal's care. And we provide education within the school system, through social media, and by utilizing pamphlets which we provide to adopters, on the proper treatment of animals to help prevent abuse and neglect. <span style="color:rgb(34, 34, 34);font-family:Helvetica;font-size:18px;font-style:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;orphans:2;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;white-space:normal;background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial;float:none;display:inline !important;box-sizing:inherit">Donations made through this link, will allow us to continue providing all of these services to Gunnison County residents and neighboring counties when possible.
