Danbury Animal Welfare Society is the largest rescue shelter in Fairfield County, CT. DAWS is a no kill shelter and we rescue dogs and cats from kill shelters to be placed in their furever homes. DAWS has placed over 1,000 cats and dogs last year. DAWS also operates a low cost spay/neuter clinic, both for our own short term guests and the greater Danbury community. DAWS clinic provides over 2000 spays/neuters, vaccinations and microchips per year.
