About AWARE of NH
History
Founded in 2023, the Animal Welfare Alliance Resource & Education of NH (AWARE NH) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit dedicated to compassionate care for New Hampshire’s cats and dogs. Serving as a central hub, we provide resources, support, and education to ensure pets receive the care they deserve.
In October 2024, we opened a full surgical suite, offering low-cost and free spay/neuter services for cats and dogs across the state. We also provide monthly low-cost vaccinations and operate a pet food pantry to support pet owners in need.
Our programs focus on preventing pet overpopulation, empowering caregivers with knowledge and resources, fostering a stronger animal welfare community, and promoting responsible pet ownership through educational seminars.
AWARE NH is committed to keeping cats and dogs happy, healthy, and thriving, while building a community that values and protects the well-being of all animals
