In the heart of the Shenandoah neighborhood, AWS Animal Hospital (Animal Welfare Society of South Florida) stands as a beacon of hope for Miami’s pet community. Far more than a standard veterinary clinic, AWS is a mission-driven, non-profit 501(c)(3) institution that has spent over 50 years ensuring that high-quality medical care is never a privilege reserved only for the wealthy.
Located on the busy SW 27th Avenue corridor, it is a place where the "human-animal bond" is protected fiercely, serving as the safety net for pets whose families are facing financial hardship.
The AWS Legacy
A Mission of Inclusion: AWS was founded on a radical principle: no pet should suffer and no family should have to surrender their companion because they cannot afford private veterinary costs. They specialize in providing full-service care at accessible, low-cost rates.
The Neighborhood Safety Net: For many in the Little Havana and Coral Way areas, AWS is the "last chance" for sick or injured animals. They provide a level of compassion that mirrors the deep cultural ties Miami families have with their pets.
Comprehensive Care: While their prices are low, their standards are high. From complex soft-tissue surgeries and dental procedures to routine life-saving vaccinations, AWS operates with the expertise of a top-tier medical center.
Community Funded: As a non-profit that receives no government funding, the hospital is a testament to the generosity of the Miami community. Every procedure performed and every donation made helps subsidize care for the stray and abandoned animals of South Florida.
The Compassion Core
"Because a family's love shouldn't be limited by their bank account."
Animal Welfare Society offers a comprehensive, compassionate approach to veterinary medicine and surgery. Our veterinary services and facilities are designed to assist in routine preventive care for young, healthy pets; early detection and treatment of disease as your pet ages; and complete medical and surgical care as necessary during his or her lifetime.
General services include routine preventative care and well care for puppies/kittens, adults, and seniors, as well as radiology, spay and neutering, dermatology dentistry, ultrasound, full laboratory services, ECG, respiratory and blood pressure monitors, orthopedic surgery, soft tissue surgery, and intensive care facilities.

Animal Welfare Society of South Florida is a not-for-profit 501-C-3 full service, low-cost animal hospital that provides quality conventional veterinary care for pets. For over 40 years we have helped those who cannot speak for themselves and the need for low cost veterinary care is greater now than ever.
Animal Welfare is often the last chance for people with sick or injured animals who cannot afford private veterinary care. We believe a person should never have to surrender their pet based on their inability to pay for care, nor should a pet suffer because of their owner’s financial situation.
