Gunnison Valley Animal Welfare League (GVAWL)

The ladies at the shelter are passionate and care deeply for each pet they facilitate in rescuing. Minnow, previously known as Petunia, is the sweetest kitty on earth! I feel so lucky every day that she is mine. She is goofy, loves a good pet, and follows me around all day. She was the only adult cat at the shelter when we picked her up - and I truly cannot express how perfectly she fits into my world. Thank you GVAWL ❤️

Gunnison is so lucky to have this organization. They are very empathetic to both animals and humans. The adoption process is very smooth and $150 for a neutered/spayed, fully vaccinated dog is an incredible deal. Every adopted pet has a different personality and history, and I recommend following them on Facebook for updates on their available pets till you see the right fit for you, but we were so lucky to have adopted a well-socialized, potty-trained lab mix from them.

Such an loving, caring, friendly, heartfelt, amazing animal shelter. The county of Gunnison really is so very lucky to have such amazing people there for their animals. If you are looking for an animal or just a place to donate to, this is isthe place to do it.

I have been so anxious to get my shihtzu dog fixed and couldn’t believe the outrages pricing in my area. After being told about this place by a friend, I called and they got me in within a couple weeks. Which is awesome because most vets in my area were booked months in advance. I dropped him off early in the morning, and picked him up the following morning. I was so glad it went good! They staff is super friendly as well. Pricing was way more reasonable than other vets in my area. Totally worth the hour drive!! I will be back with all animals in the future!!!

I Love The Dogs That Are There At GVAWL They Are So Adorable And Cute Love Walking Them Every Thursday -Miles Garrison

So grateful for their service. My friend lost his dog and we were searching for days before contacting GVAWL. They were so kind. I could tell the dog enjoyed his time with the ladies there. Thank you for all you do.

The staff and animals,at the animal shelter are wonderful. The building is quaint but definitely works very well for it's perpose its clean and well kept. The animals get great individual attention and help as the shelter cares very deeply for their well-being.

GVAWL has a sincere interest for the positive welfare of the dog or cat. They have accommodating hours and work to make the experience positive for the adopting party.
