The Helen Woodward Animal Center is a very special place that will warm your heart if you care about the well-being of dogs, cats and other animals. The shelter takes in unwanted dogs and cats and finds outstanding forever homes for them. We adopted our first dog from the Helen Woodward Animal Center and we were so pleased that the center was committed to finding a great match for us and our beloved dog. The staff is excellent and demonstrates their passion and commitment to the mission of the center. We also used the boarding services for our dog and the facilities and care were excellent.
