Why Donate to Quad City Animal Welfare Center?
The Humane Society of Rock Island County doing business as the Quad City Animal Welfare Center (QCAWC) was established in 1977 and has been dedicated to a no-kill philosophy. Located in Milan, Illinois, QCAWC is the only full service no-kill animal shelter in the Quad cities and surrounding area. Operating solely on donations, QCAWC serves the Iowa –Illinois Quad Cities and surrounding counties. Every family deserves to have a pet;unfortunately not all families have the same resources. QCAWC offers low cost spaying and neutering. Along with spaying and neutering QCAWC has a low cost, high quality clinic open to the public every Wednesday and the first Saturday of every month. These unique services give families the opportunity for affordable veterinarian care. Last year, 2021, our clinic surgically altered over 3,500 companion animals. In our own communities, each year thousands of pets are left homeless to fend for themselves. The QCAWC accepted and re-homed over 1,500 companion animals in 2022.
