About

The Dunning Animal Welfare Foundation was created to help assist in the needs of animals of all kinds large and small and help them live a happy and healthy life. This is accomplished by soliciting funds from donations, fundraisers, and grants then re-distributing them along with educational tools to other worthy outlets that have the same desire to help prevent the neglect and abuse of animals in need. There are also preventative measures that require attention such as spay/neuter and that is accomplished once again through education and we arrange clinics for these procedures along with cost share incentives. We have a close relationship with vet clinics and always have at least one vet on our board at all times. They are a valuable asset and provide insight and direction in our quest to offer love and respect for animals in neglect.

Some on the ways we engage are to offer assistance to veterinarian centers, adoption and rescue services, locate foster and forever homes and assist anti cruelty and pet shelters. One of our favorites is to help people connect with their animal companion for a lifetime of happiness together.

We are a 501c3 organization and are located in S.W. Missouri. D.A.W.F. is not a large national corporation, rather we are currently operating within our area and accept and appreciate any and all donations. The foundation is staffed by volunteers so 95% of the donations go to the benefit of the animals. We have received everything from small change to entire estates and some of these donations qualify for a tax deduction.
