AWN is a network of volunteers within Trinidad & Tobago who joined together in 2000 to pool resources to benefit animals in their local communities.

From the start, we decided to focus on educating people about the humane treatment of animals, while promoting spaying and neutering, as a means to reduce the stray animal problem.

Although AWN does not operate a shelter, members do also assist animals in distress.

AWN is funded entirely by donations, membership subscriptions and from the proceeds of fund-raising events organised by members and supporters
