News Release
WARSAW — The Animal Welfare League of Kosciusko County is reaching out to catch the attention of long-term donors and others thinking about it.
In a news release, AWL said it is proud to honor and express heartfelt gratitude to its long-term donors, whose unwavering commitment continues to save and enrich the lives of countless animals in our community.
For decades, the generosity of our donors has empowered AWL to rescue, shelter, rehabilitate, and rehome thousands of animals in need. From emergency medical care to daily nourishment, enrichment programs, and adoption services, every life-changing moment at AWL is made possible by your support.
“Long-term donors are the backbone of our mission,” said Executive Director Tonya Blanchard.”Their compassion and consistency allow us to not only care for animals today but also plan for a better, more humane tomorrow.”
Recent milestones include the generous Kosciusko County resident who bequeathed his estate to the Animal Welfare League. This allowed us to pay off our mortgage and make a few needed improvements to our campus.
However, we still have ongoing needs and expenses.
Shelter Expenses:
- 2023-$746,605.00
2024-$828,382.00
Government funding:
- Warsaw, $100,000
- Kosciusko County, $180,000
AWL relies on donations and fundraising for the balance of our expenses and the 2024 Payroll expense was $470,783.
AWL operates 365 days a year, caring for between 200-320 animals daily. To maintain
appropriate care standards, this requires 6 to 8 staff members on duty daily, resulting in an
annual payroll expense of $470,783
AWL continues to rely on these contributions to help ensure that every animal — whether abandoned, abused, or simply in need of a second chance — finds hope, healing, and a loving home.
Your ongoing support makes a lasting difference. Together, we are not just saving lives — we are building a compassionate community for animals and the people who love them.
With gratitude,
