About A.W.E. for Animals

We are dedicated to raising money and awareness for rescuing, rehabilitating and rehoming animals less fortunate. Through organized events, it is our goal to provide much needed support to hard working smaller non-profit-private rescues and shelters throughout the San Diego community; many of which do not receive regular funds from our local government.
