Can't Buy Me Love

Adoption fees are waived for pets with special needs or challenges, making it easier to give them the loving home they deserve.

Some animals face unique challenges in finding a forever home, whether due to age, medical history, or behavioral needs. To give these special pets the best chance at adoption, we waive their adoption fees. This helps adopters save on upfront costs, allowing them to focus on providing training, medical care, and the love these pets deserve as they settle into their new homes.

Can't Buy Me Love Eligibility

Animals of any age or species may qualify for our waived-fee adoption program.

Eligibility is determined by AWA’s Adoption and Medical staff based on factors such as:

  • Length of stay at AWA Adoption Center
  • Medical conditions or history
  • Age
  • Other considerations

For more information or to learn about eligible animals, contact our Adoption Center team:

Dogs

1 year old

Nolan

I’m young, energetic, and always up for adventure... fetch, tug-of-war, or making new friends! But I’m also a top-tier cuddler. If you love fun and snuggles, I’m the best boy for you!

3 years old

Hugh

I'm a playful pup who loves fetch, tug-of-war, and making people laugh with my goofy antics. Loyal and loving, I'm ready to share my joy, cuddles, and tail wags with my forever family!

Cats

4 years old

Duchess

I’m a sweet girl looking for my furever home! I love window-watching, chasing toys, and sunbathing. I’m a social eater and need a special diet, but mostly, I just want a best friend to love!

4 years old

Lyric

I'm a shy, independent boy who loves cozy corners, soft words, and gentle pets. I won’t rush into your lap, but with time, my love will shine through. I promise it is worth the wait.
