About Us

The League for Animal Welfare is a voluntary, nonprofit, humane organization chartered in 1949. The League for Animal Welfare, which has operated as a no-kill shelter since 1964, is dedicated to bettering the lives of companion animals in the Greater Cincinnati area by providing shelter, adoption , public education , and spay/neuter programs .

The League for Animal Welfare receives no government support. All programs are financed solely by donations , membership , contributions , and fundraisers . Except for a small paid shelter staff, all efforts are carried out by volunteers . All contributions made to the League are tax-deductible to the fullest extent of the law.

In 2007, we had 467 dog adoptions (an 8% increase over 2006.) We took in 463 dogs, which is the largest number of dog intakes in the history of the League. We also had 421 cat adoptions (a 2.5% increase over 2006.)
